The 7.8 earthquake that struck near Sarangani, Mindanao is a currently developing story with the quake striking at 7:32 AM PhST yesterday killing at least 40 as of the latest count (the death toll still rising as more people are found and with aftershocks in the next few weeks), displacing at least 20,000 people, and destroying a lot of infrastructure from homes to public spaces to private businesses and even schools. It's a little difficult for me to find information if there's any NGO or community-run/citizen-run relief drives at the moment and especially since I don't use X/Twitter or Instagram but I do want to share some here. If anyone has any information or links that would directly help the people affected by the recent earthquake, feel free to share them here as I'm also trying to look around other places like Facebook even with how terrible its search function is.
From what I've found so far, I'm reposting some images from GCash's Facebook page regarding various large groups and companies that had given different QR codes that people could donate to with Angat Buhay being a well-known NGO that did quick response during last year's typhoon barrage and PDRF being a group that's specifically geared towards disaster response:
Here's also some posts from student organizations that I'm copying over from Facebook. This one is a post from Notre Dame of Marbel University Peacebuilder's page calling for donations:

I apologize for not being able to make image descriptions for all of these right now since I'm currently dealing with some bad eyestrain these past few days. If anyone wants to write them, I'll try to add them in on the alt text of the corresponding images.
As always, if you're part of an institution like a school or a company, they might also have or will have programs that would focus specifically on assisting the victims of the earthquake so keep an eye out for those programs and you could go through those channels to help if you find it reputable and feel free to add them in the reblogs of this post as well to make things easier for those that would want to help.
