With the recent launch of the 911 hotline, a lot of people tried it and wasn't disappointed with its service. To prove that, a netizen shared her story wherein she dialed 911 to get her car towed for FREE!

Thank you Pilipinas 911 and MMDA!

Last night, Danica and I were on our way to Ortigas when the indicators for temp, battery, and engine lit up on my dashboard. We were traversing southbound EDSA when I noticed smoke coming out of the hood. For fear of the car catching fire, I stopped right in the middle of the road, not knowing what to do. I called 911.

The operator asked me what the problem was, and where we were located exactly. He asked us to stay in the car and wait for the responders. He also asked me to call him back as soon as the MMDA responders came, cause he said if they don't, "Magagalit si 'Tatay'" haha

Long story short, they assessed the situation, an MMDA towing service brought my car to the casa, and made sure I got home safe. They were prompt, courteous, and efficient. Best part was, everything was FREE. ????

Again, thank you for the help, MMDA and 911.

(Thank you also to early responders Anna Chichioco and Camille Santiago. Haha)
