According to reports from the Manila Bulletin, Pure Force and Rescue Corp CEO Jojo Soliman has disclosed to the said news agency that he presented his plan regarding the citizen safety and rescue app that the public can use for emergency and immediate dispatch.

According to Soliman, he explained the application to Duterte which has a landline number 86-505 which prompts concerned government agencies to view reported emergencies in the system.

Currently, several government agencies, The Philippine National Police, Metro Manila Development Authority, and 14 other cities have access to Pure Force’s system.

“Filipinos abroad can be able to enjoy the same application,” said Soliman. As soon as all things are worked up upon changing 86-505 to 911 with telecommunication companies, it can then be launched. Currently, Davao uses 911 for their emergency call number.

At present, Pure Force office and data center is being built in Sta. Cruz, Manila.
