Summary:

Radyo Tambuli is a mobile application in Tagalog (in English it means bugle horn or trumpet) that has been tested in the US whereby Filipinos in the US can access and look at the systems and programmes available to them as provided by the Philippines embassy in the US. This also includes a sort of e-911 facility where they could signal if they need any help or have a query/concern that the embassy could respond to.
