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:

Mindanao was struck by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake on June 8, 2026, causing significant damage, particularly in Sarangani Province. Numerous infrastructures were destroyed or severely damaged, and many families are now in urgent need of assistance as they recover from the devastating effects of the disaster.

Another post from the Supreme Student Council of Mindanao Statue University - GenSan's page calling for donations:

The Supreme Student Council calls on the MSU-Gensan community and the public to extend help to those affected by the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck some regions and cities in Mindanao. The disaster has caused significant damage to homes, buildings, and establishments across the city, leaving many families displaced and in urgent need of assistance. Reports have also confirmed casualties, missing individuals, and numerous injured residents who continue to require support and care.

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.
Edit for Additional Information: @actualbird had added in the reblogs that people from overseas can help out through Angat Buhay as they accept international bank payments as well! Here's a link to their website where you can find more information to help as well as channels to donate from overseas and below are attached pictures that @/actualbird had added in his reblog:
Thank you for all the people who had been so kind enough to donate as well as those who had shared this post for reach! Any little bit of help goes a long way.
