Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista will formally launch the QC 122 hotline—mandated in a city ordinance passed on October 11, 2010—in his State of the City Address this month. Elmo San Diego, chief of the QC Department of Public Order and Safety, said the activation of the hotline completes the full rollout of the city’s enhanced emergency services capability upgrade. “What Quezon City is having under Mayor Herbert Bautista’s leadership is an integrated, seamless and end-to-end operations system,” he said.
