Ugnay.phHow to Contribute a Hotline to Ugnay.ph
Help keep the Philippines' emergency directory up to date by contributing missing or updated hotline numbers.
Ugnay.ph is community-powered. If you know an emergency hotline that's missing from the directory, you can add it. Your contribution helps keep your community safe — and you can track exactly what happens to it after submission.
Sign in to your account
Contributing a hotline requires a free account. This helps us track contributions and prevent abuse.
You can sign up with your email address or use a magic link. If you already have an account, just sign in.
You can browse the contribute form without signing in. The form is fully interactive — you only need to sign in when you're ready to submit.
Select the city and barangay
Start by selecting the city the hotline serves from the city picker. Search by name or browse by region.
If the hotline is specific to a barangay within the city, you can optionally select the barangay. Leave it as 'City-wide' if the number serves the entire city.
The barangay picker only appears if barangay data exists for the selected city. Not all cities have barangay-level data yet.
Fill in the hotline details
Enter the agency or office name (e.g., 'City DRRMO'), the phone number, and select the appropriate category.
You can add optional notes to provide context — like office hours, specific department, or alternative numbers.

Submit and track your hotline
Tap 'Submit Hotline' to send your contribution. What happens next depends on whether a local organization manages the area.
If the area has an active LGU organization, your submission enters their review queue. A manager will approve or reject it. If no organization manages the area, your hotline is published immediately with a 'Community (Unreviewed)' badge.
After approval, you can track what happens to your hotline from your 'My Contributions' page. Expand any approved contribution to see its review history — including when an organization verified, corrected, or archived it, and exactly what fields were changed.
What you will see
You can submit up to 10 hotlines per day. This daily limit helps maintain data quality across the platform.
How trust badges work
Every hotline on Ugnay.ph displays a trust badge so users can judge the reliability of each number at a glance.
When your contribution is approved by a local organization, it receives a yellow 'Community' badge — indicating it's been reviewed and verified. If it's auto-published (no managing org), it gets a gray 'Community (Unreviewed)' badge until an organization claims the area and reviews it.
