Coins.ph has announced a ₱3 million donation to Angat Pinas to support immediate relief operations for families affected by the powerful magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck southern Mindanao recently. The funding is intended to accelerate the delivery of food, clean water, and other survival necessities to displaced communities across the hardest-hit areas.
Magnitude 7.8 Earthquake Impact on Mindanao Communities
The severe and high-impact zones from the earthquake encompass over 1.4 million residents across critically hit communities. General Santos City (GenSan) and Maasim sustained severe damage at Intensity 7 to 8, while high-impact tremors were also logged across Alabel and the wider Sarangani area.
How the ₱3 Million Donation Is Being Deployed
The ₱3 million funding is being deployed directly to Angat Pinas to ensure the rapid procurement and dissemination of basic survival necessities on the ground. Unified relief operations are actively prioritizing food packages and clean drinking water for displaced families in the hardest-hit evacuation sectors. The initiative is also intentionally dedicating resources to care for affected animals, such as displaced cats and dogs, which are frequently overlooked during major humanitarian crises.
