Duyog Mindanao (Earthquake Response Appeal)

Communities across Southern Mindanao are still experiencing the impacts of the June 8 earthquake, with ongoing aftershocks, damaged homes, landslides, and prolonged disruption of electricity and communication.

Many families are currently sleeping outside or staying in unsafe temporary shelters, with limited access to clean water, food, and basic services. Several upland and coastal communities remain difficult to reach due to blocked roads and terrain conditions, delaying the arrival of urgent assistance.

In this critical early response phase, communities themselves—Indigenous leaders, local volunteers, and church networks—are leading immediate efforts to check on families, assess needs, and organize first relief.

Mindanao Climate Justice (MCJ) is working in solidarity with these community-led efforts by helping coordinate resources, support procurement of essential supplies, and assist in transport and delivery to affected and hard-to-reach areas.

Priority support is focused on communities in:

Glan, Sarangani
Malapatan, Sarangani
General Santos City

With urgent attention to upland and coastal Indigenous and Moro communities, including remote and underserved areas that are still waiting for initial assistance.
