Car breakdowns can strike anyone and anywhere but just in case you're in Taguig when it happens, know that there's a free road emergency assistance available to motorists.

The Roadside Emergency Assistance in the City of Taguig (REACT) program is a free initiative by the local government, aimed at providing prompt assistance to motorists facing unexpected car troubles in its vital roadways.
