LOOK: In a milestone move to enhance public safety communication, the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Presidential Broadcasting Service–Bureau of Broadcast Services (PBS-BBS) formally sealed their partnership through a Memorandum of Agreement signing held on August 22, 2025, at the PNP National Headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City.
PNP Chief PGEN Nicolas D. Torre III represented the PNP, while Director General Fernando A. Sanga signed on behalf of the PBS-BBS. The ceremony was witnessed by PMGEN Roderick Augustus B. Alba, Director for Police Community Relations, and Mr. Allan L. Allanigue, Station Manager of Radyo Pilipinas–Radyo Publiko.
The MOA will launch PNP RESPONSE 911, a weekly one-hour radio program airing every Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:00 PM on Radyo Pilipinas and PNP digital channels. Centered on the PNP’s 5-Minute Response Policy (5MRP), the program aims to bridge the gap between the police and the public by promoting faster, reliable, and transparent services. It will also feature discussions on crime prevention, community engagement, and police operations that directly affect the lives of Filipinos.
With PNP RESPONSE 911, PGen Torre emphasized that the police service can showcase its true face to the public. “Ito na ang tamang pagkakataon na ipakita natin, tayong tunay na nagmamahal sa PNP, kung ano talaga ang ating ginagawa at kung sino tayo bilang lingkod-bayan,” he said.
Through this MOA, the PNP and PBS-BBS renew their vow to counter disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation by proactively sharing accurate, timely, and transparent updates. Ultimately, the partnership reflects a shared vision: to make the PNP more accessible, responsive, and trusted, in pursuit of a safer and more secure Filipino community.
