“ALERT 161”: RAPID EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND PUBLIC COMPLAINTS ACTION SYSTEM INSTITUTIONALIZED IN BACOOR

In an effort to further improve the capability of the city government to provide emergency services and act on complaints from the public, the Sangguniang Panlungsod unanimously approved City Ordinance No. CO 34-2019 on 14 October 2019.

Also known as the ALERT 161 Ordinance of the City of Bacoor, the said legislative measure aims to enhance the capability of the city government to respond to emergency situations and to resolve complaints by members of the public, increase community involvement in disaster risk reduction and management, and promote public order and safety.

Under the ordinance, people in need of emergency assistance or who wants to file a complaint against any city government official or employee may dial 161 on their landlines or mobile phones and expect immediate feedback from personnel of the Bacoor Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (BDRRMO), Philippine National Police (PNP), and Bureau of Fire Prevention (BFP) who were duly trained to handle such calls.  Designed to mimic the capabilities of the famed 911 emergency response system, Alert 161 shall require callers to pay ten pesos per call in order to dissuade prank calling as well as to augment the funds of the city government for the said program.

Prank callers and the managers of hospitals that fail to respond to calls for assistance by Alert 161 personnel shall be held liable under the said ordinance.

  1. Good day, Gusto ko lang po ireklamo ang Home Owner’s Association for abuse of power and corruption, gusto nilang ibigay namin sa kanila ang ayudang nakuha namin sa DSWD at ihati hati sa lahat ng nasa Console Village, sa Duplex Molino 1 sa may bayanan banda. Wala silang social distancing at 10 na katao ang laging nakatambay sa gate, ayaw nila papasukin ang mga sasakyan ng mga nakatira dun na bihira lang umuwi dahil sa trabaho, sinasabing hindi sila nakatira doon dahil bihira silang makita, bukod pa dito nanghahaharas sila ng mga kababaihan at minamanyak nila ang mga dumadaan at purke may trabaho dapat wala nang ayuda, sinasabihan nila na ang mga nagtratrabaho sa labas ang sisisihin pag may nagkaCovid sa kanila grabe ang discrimination nila sa may nga Covid na against sa ating batas, maging ang baranggay ay hindi malapitan dahil sa pinapanigan lagi ang Home owners association, ito ay obvious na abuse of power nawa ay matulungan nyo kami dahil nahihirapan na ang bawat isa sa amin dahil sa pandemic at lalong pinapahirapan ng may mga kapangyarihan. Hindi na namin alam kung sino ang lalapitan at paniniwalaan nawa’y matulungan nyo ang simpleng mamamayan na tulad ko na hindi napapansin ng karamihan, salamat po

  2. Goodmorning. Pwede ba na paki check ninyo yung lugar sa gilid ng Shopwise Supermarket and SSS Bacoor. May maliit ba shop doon inside a private property na laging puno ng tao. At paki check na rin kung may business pernit sila. Matagal ng problema ng mga may ari ng lugar na yan. I hope you will pay attention to this comment. Stay safe everyone. I love Bacoor. I can provide pictures if necessary. Thank you and Godbless.
