Breaking News: An earthquake has been reported to have been felt in Metro Manila and other regions in Luzon. Have you felt it? Please share the current situation in your vicinity. 

The PCOO's press release on April 15, 2011 announced that telecommunication companies have committed to sending free public safety text messages during calamities, disasters, and emergencies. In such situations, the public can contact the NDRRMC's Hotline Numbers (911-1406 / 912-2665 / 912-5668), which will then alert the concerned government agencies and transmit the information to PIA. PIA will serve as the "clearing house" to help validate the veracity of the information before crafting the Government's "OFFICIAL ADVISORY" and forwarding it to NTC. The NDRRMC will verify the data from the government authorities and handle the matter according to their standard procedures. The official text message will then be sent to all TELCOS by NTC, with the message coming from the number 1456.
