President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. returns to quake-affected areas in Region 12 (Soccsksargen) for a second time on Monday, less than a week after an earthquake struck on June 8. Marcos arrives at the airport in General Santos City in the morning and travels by helicopter to Glan in Sarangani province, which sources describe as the hardest-hit town. There, he conducts an aerial inspection and visits evacuees. The visits come after a previous trip by the President on Wednesday, two days following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that affected the region. The two reports describe the Monday return as part of efforts to oversee recovery and bring assistance to affected communities, including those displaced by the quake. Both accounts place the presidential travel within Sarangani province and link the air inspection and on-site meetings with ongoing assessment of damage and support for evacuees. The coverage focuses on the timing of the trips—June 8 for the quake, followed by a Wednesday visit and the Monday return—for continuous presence in the affected area.
