About Alerto PH

Alerto PH is a mobile and IoT-based emergency alert platform built by Wiredfield Philippines Inc., a Securities and Exchange Commission-registered, woman-led Filipino startup founded and led by Cristina Macaraig. The system connects smart sensors — for fire, flooding, and break-ins — directly to a command center that uses remote sensing, data aggregation, and AI to route real-time alerts to property owners and the nearest emergency responders, even when no one is able to call for help.

The platform is explicitly built for local government units (LGUs): it is backed programmatically by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), and Macaraig and her team have run field pilots installing smoke alarms and sensor devices in fire-prone areas of Quezon City, with additional pilot work reported in Tagaytay. The stated goal is to onboard 100 LGUs and fully operationalize the system. In February 2026, Alerto PH was recognized with a ‘Best in Service Provider Responsibility’ award at a disaster-response-focused event covered on video by TNC.

No specific funding round, dollar amount, or private equity investor has been publicly disclosed — DOST and DICT appear to be programmatic/technical backers rather than confirmed financial investors — and the company’s exact headquarters address, founding year, and total team size could not be independently verified from public sources.

The Problem They're Solving

LGUs and property owners often can't respond fast enough to fires, floods, and break-ins because emergency detection and reporting still depend on someone being able to call for help.

Who They Serve

Local government units (LGUs) and their disaster risk reduction and management offices, plus the property owners and residents in their jurisdictions.

What Makes Them Different

Connects physical IoT sensors directly to an AI-driven command center that can alert responders automatically, without requiring a human to place a call.

Traction & Milestones

Piloted with LGUs in Quezon City and Tagaytay with a stated goal of onboarding 100 LGUs; recognized in February 2026 for 'Best in Service Provider Responsibility' at a disaster-response-focused event.
