Rescue 161 DRRMO Marikina
FIVE-MINUTE QUICK
RESPONSE TIME
IF THIS UNIT FAILS TO
REACH YOU WITHIN
5 MINUTES
AFTER YOUR CALL FOR
ASSISTANCE, REPORT TO
CALL 646-16-34
Recognized that the aim of our government is to have a
quick response to peace and order and security of lives and
properties, we imposed on ourselves a RESPONSE TIME.
The program guarantees the arrival of emergency services
(medical, fire and police assistance etc.) within five (5)
minutes upon call for assistance.
The program is no different from those of other Local
Government Units except for the sign posted in every
vehicle involved in the operation. It is made possible by the
order and discipline obtained in the streets of Marikina. We
owe these to the successful implementation of the
DISCIPLINA SA BANGKETA and HASSLE-FREE ROADWAYS .
From an average response time of 10-15 minutes years ago,
it has gone down to 3.6 minutes which is far better than
America’s Rescue 911.
