Just found this while surfing Youtube.com. It's not exactly new (dated '95) but I'm still not sure if the problem has been addressed already:

BAkit nga pala yung mga sasakyan ng mga Funeral Homes na kumukuha ng patay ay AMBULANCE din ang nakalagay?

Local regulations require that cadavers be transported by "ambulance". Hearses are used during the burial ceremony. Since no regulations exist regarding what constitutes an ambulance, they just paint the word "ambulance" on any van, AUV, station wagon they can get their hands on.

When my friend's father passed away, the body had to be transported to Batangas. Unfortunately, the funeral parlor did not have any 'ambulance' available. What they did was load the casket into the back of an unmarked L300 FB and just covered it up with flowers and other things until the casket was no longer visible from the outside.

ah napanood ko na yan..okay yan.

pwede ba magkaroon ng sariling ambulance mga private companies?

Yep. The Fort has their own ambulance, Trinoma also has some units (subcontracted via their security agency). Unilever PRC has one in their plant.

But most of these units are very basic 'pantakbo sa ospital' type. Not exactly something you'd use for an ICU case transfer, planeside conduction, provincial transfer, or emergency response unit. Services which private ambulance companies are supposed to provide since they are focused in the business of ambulance conduction. Of course along the equipment should come manpower. A minimum of an EMT and RN should be on board ambulance company units.

Yup. Parang ganito:

Some motorist think, just because we're running empty (no load) ay nangti-trip lang kami or nanggugulang sa traffic.

Yung loud, uptempo music talagang kasama iyon kapag nag-reresponde. Gets us in the mood for work even at 3am.

OT: ask lang po why cant the philippines (except davao) use 911 as the emergency number? curious lang po

Emergency numbers are arbitrary. I don't really know what '117' means but it was the number assigned in the Metro.

We do not have a nationwide system like '911' in the U.S. or '999' in the UK (?).

I guess it's just lack of political will. I'm still wondering why our hotline (9111121) is so close to the hotline of a popular pizza chain.
