MMDA Call Me Maybe Hotline is 136 not 163 for the record

For the Record: Call me, maybe—MMDA Hotline 136!

Philippine Star columnist Federico D. Pascual, Jr. wrote today of his difficulty reaching the the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) by phone. In his column, he claimed the MMDA hotline 163 was “forever busy” and thus was unable to contact the necessary personnel. Simply put, Mr. Pascual dialed and called the wrong number.

In MMDA’s collaterals and even on its official website, their hotline number is 136. Meanwhile, the number 163 is for “Bantay Bata” which is a program of ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc.
