The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has extended aid to victims of the recent magnitude 6.9 earthquake in Cebu.
Following the directive of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., PCSO General Manager Mel Robles immediately instructed all branches and Authorized Agent Corporations (AACs) to deliver much-needed assistance to affected communities.
Among the first AACs to respond were Piona Trading and Supply Corp. and King Dragon Gaming and Amusement Corporation, which turned over donations such as food and other essential items to the Cebu Provincial Government on Wednesday.
PCSO also distributed evacuation supply kits that included mosquito nets, plastic mats, blankets, slippers, flashlights, pillows, towels, and other necessities for earthquake survivors.
“Our thoughts are with our kababayans in Cebu and the surrounding areas. PCSO is closely monitoring the situation and will extend further assistance to ensure the safety and well-being of those affected,” Robles assured. “We are working tirelessly to bring comfort during these challenging times.”
He also urged the public to remain strong and united, assuring them that help is on the way.
Robles further emphasized that PCSO remains committed to providing assistance to Filipinos in need.
