Key takeaways:
• Government and partners have launched 4 new Unified 911 satellite command centers in Batac, Ilocos Norte; Cauayan, Isabela; Tacloban, Leyte; and Leganes, Iloilo.
• This comes after the launch last year of the National Command Center in Manila, and Regional Command Center in Cebu.
• The SCCs are dialect-sensitive, which means they are equipped with hotline operators who can respond in the local language, reducing delays that can be caused by miscommunication due to translation errors 

As more MSMEs across the Calabarzon region strengthen their digital presence, cybersecurity awareness and online visibility are becoming increasingly important. To support this shift, PLDT and Smart and the group’s B2B arm, PLDT Enterprise, partnered with business and tourism groups in the region to host an “MSME Biz Up!” workshop series on digital marketing and online safety.
