Globe and Smart users can send their complaints or reports at 0915-888-8181 and 0999-901-8181, respectively. The public can also reach the NCRPO through their email addresses, ncrporeact@gmail.com or Sms1.ncrpo@gmail.com, or through Facebook @NCRPOreact.

Eleazar said the incidents that will be reported to the NCRPO could be monitored in their Compliance Monitoring System which will also transmit the said report to concerned district and police station.
