The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) begins relief operations for communities affected by the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Mindanao last week. Multiple reports say PAGCOR sends about 10,000 to 10,500 food packs, intended to support earthquake victims in areas experiencing severe damage and disruption.
According to the coverage, distribution is planned for General Santos City, Mati City in Davao Oriental, and additional areas coordinated through government offices, including the Office of Civil Defense in Soccsksargen (Region XII) and the Second District of Davao Oriental. One report specifies allocation of food pails, with 3,000 food packs each earmarked for General Santos City, Mati City, and OCD-Region XII, while 1,500 food packs are allocated for the Second District of Davao Oriental. The relief effort is part of PAGCOR’s broader assistance following the earthquake, with packs already in transit and additional shipments expected to reach affected sites for distribution.
