MANILA\u00a0\u2013 It took only 20 minutes for Richard Serrano Celeste to realize that the change that President Rodrigo Duterte has promised is for real.<\/p>\n

Celeste used the social media to share how the government\u2019s quick action, through the Emergency Hotline 911, has saved his two-year-old son out of danger.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was about to sleep the other night when our Baby Abraham cried out loud because he had difficulty breathing normally due to throat irritation,\u201d he wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Celeste decided to rush the baby\u00a0to the hospital but transportation was no longer available at midnight in Tipanoy, Iligan City.<\/p>\n

He tried to call a former classmate \u201cbut understandably, it was time for a good night sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

With his son still crying, Celeste decided to dial 911 using his cellphone though uncertain if the national emergency hotline really caters to health emergencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur baby still cried and I thought of calling 911 at 11:46 p.m.,\u201d he recounted.<\/p>\n

Some 20 minutes later, the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) of Iligan City reached Celeste\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey warmly accommodated us and they checked our baby\u2019s vital signs while we were on our way to the Adventist Medical Center,\u201d Abraham\u2019s father said.<\/p>\n

Celeste may have spent his birthday the entire day of July 24 at the hospital, but the experience had left a positive impression on him that change has indeed come under the Duterte administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of this writing, our baby is doing well and he was discharged from the hospital this morning.<\/p>\n

Salamat Lord. 911 is real, change is here,\u201d he said in his post, which has already earned more than 1,700 likes and reactions and 500 shares as of posting.<\/p>\n

He also thanked the 911 call center agent and the CDRRMO staff for their \u201cvery quick action.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKudos for easily locating us despite the not-so-easily-accessible location,\u201d Celeste said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Lord that 911 really works because being a parent so concerned of his child\u2019s welfare will really be bothered, especially if he has no vehicle yet to ride on,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Celeste has encouraged everyone to access 911 if caught in emergency situations.<\/p>\n

The 911 and the President\u2019s hotline 8888 were launched in August 2016 as 24\/7 national public service hotlines for emergencies and complaints, respectively.<\/p>\n

Last May 25, Duterte signed Executive Order No. 56 making 911 as the nationwide emergency hotline, replacing PATROL 117, to conform with international standards.<\/p>\n

Under Duterte\u2019s order, local government units have been enjoined to establish and run local 911 call centers within their areas of jurisdiction but \u201cunder supervision of the National Call Center.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emergency Hotlines 911 and 8888 are free of charge and other fees.<\/p>\n

Duterte introduced 911 as emergency hotline in Davao City, where he served as mayor for more than two decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
