The work never stops for the DigiPlus Foundation, especially in times of disaster and tragedy, as thousands of Filipinos continue to bounce back from the massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake that rocked Southern Mindanao last June 8.
With a majority of assistance stemming from Charity tab users of BingoPlus, the number one and most trusted Filipino online entertainment platform, the DigiPlus Foundation was able to immediately mobilize and launch its first of many big donation waves across multiple barangays in hard-hit General Santos City.

Starting with a quick ceremonial handover featuring the relief operation team of GenSan Vice Mayor Edmar Yumang and BingoPlus Store volunteers, the Foundation quickly spread to Barangays Apopong, Fatima, Labangal, and San Jose last June 11, providing water assistance to 1,000 families who all experienced disruptions to essential services.
With its BayanihanPlus community resilience program, Foundation volunteers worked through the Philippine Independence Day holiday alongside local partners and community leaders to ensure assistance swiftly reached families, as time is always of essence in times of calamities.
The assistance waves are expected to continue beyond the first two, as the Foundation also targets visits to multiple barangays on the island of Sarangani, another hard-hit province south of the Mindanao mainland.
On the ground, Mayor Victor James Yap of Glan, Sarangani stands alongside DigiPlus Foundation in leading the mobilization of goods on the island.

“DigiPlus Foundation remains committed to standing with our fellow Filipinos during times of crisis,” shared DigiPlus Foundation Executive Director, Angela Camins-Wieneke.
“Through BayanihanPlus, we are mobilizing our people and resources, hoping that these collective efforts bring relief, strength, and renewed hope to everyone affected by the earthquake.”
With aftershocks and supply chain disruptions expected to last past the initial 7.8 magnitude tremor, citizens of General Santos City and Sarangani will need the help they can get, and the DigiPlus Foundation will make sure they receive all the assistance they need at this trying time.
The Foundation is also in deep and constant coordination with the Philippine government, through the Department of Social Work and Development, for any further assistance that families may need as relief continues to pour into their barangays.
