TAGBILARAN CITY, BOHOL—Tagbilaran, the City of Peace and Friendship and capital of Bohol, has taken a major step in emergency preparedness by launching EmergiNet, a cutting-edge digital response system designed to reduce emergency wait times from 5-7 minutes to just 60-120 seconds.

Ahead of the launch, EmergiNet’s distribution partner in Bohol—led by Aileen Jade A. Borja and Rey D. Samputon—met with Hon. Mayor Jane C. Yap and City Councilor Hon. Fausto “Bebot” Budlong to discuss the system’s seamless integration into the city’s emergency response network. Their collaboration underscores the local government’s commitment to leveraging technology for enhanced public safety.

“In emergencies, every second counts,” Mayor Yap emphasized during the launch. “With EmergiNet, help arrives in just a minute.”

How EmergiNet Works
Developed by 8E Tech Philippines, EmergiNet directly connects residents to the nearest responders with a single smartphone tap—no calls needed. Alerts reach responders in 2-5 seconds, ensuring swift action.

✅ For residents: The Call-for-Help (CFH) app shares GPS location and notifies emergency contacts.

✅ For responders: The Responder App provides real-time navigation and communication tools.

✅ At the command center: The Tagbilaran City DRRM Office coordinates real-time responses, strengthening disaster preparedness.

Joseph James “JJ” Go-Dequito, President and CEO of EmergiNet, highlighted: “EmergiNet is more than just an app; it’s a lifeline at your fingertips. With our patented technology, emergency alerts reach responders within seconds, ensuring immediate action when it matters most.”

Enhancing Safety in a Tourism Hub
With Bohol’s post-pandemic tourism boom, featuring world-renowned Chocolate Hills, pristine beaches, and rich historical sites, visitor safety is paramount. EmergiNet targets rapid response, offering peace of mind to both tourists and residents alike. This milestone can be compared to Bohol’s historic 1565 blood compact, symbolizing a commitment to community cooperation and safety.
