Unified 911 centers to open in Mindanao

“By placing command centers closer to the people and ensuring that emergency telecommunicators speak the local language, we remove barriers during the moments when every second counts. This is how we make emergency assistance faster, more accessible, and truly nationwide.” Fire Chief Inspector Espiridion Ganibe, head of the BARMM 911 Satellite Command Center, said the ability to communicate in Maranao, Iranun, Maguindanao, Tausug, Yakan, and other local languages enables callers to explain emergencies without language barriers.
