BingoPlus players may help earthquake victims by using the app
Disaster struck Mindanao on Monday morning, June 8, as a big part of the Philippines’ southern border was hit with a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake–the strongest to ever hit the country since the devastating 1990 Luzon quake 36 years ago.
Thousands of lives were disrupted in an instant, and a recent report from the Department of Public Works and Highways placed the damage quickly past the PHP 1 billion mark within a day’s worth of assessments.
As Filipinos continue to seek help in the immediate aftermath of this terrible disaster, the DigiPlus Foundation is promptly stepping in to lend a helping hand, having recently set up a special Mindanao earthquake tab on the BingoPlus app Charity page so users can help.
The Charity Page enables users to allocate Impact points provided by the app to causes they support and align with DigiPlus Foundation’s advocacies. Accumulated Impact points scale up existing Foundation commitments to its flagship projects on education, healthcare, resilience, and empowerment. Through participation, users become enablers to “Multiply the Good”.
In the wake of the devastating earthquake, a special project was launched to address the urgent relief needs of affected families. For each Impact batch unlocked, the Foundation extends more food packs and essentials to communities in General Santos City, where much of the damage was felt.
“We at DigiPlus Foundation have been working tirelessly since news broke of this tragedy and are currently in touch with the public and private sectors to expedite the assistance process,” said Angela Camins-Wieneke, the Executive Director of DigiPlus Foundation.
“With the special project in the BingoPlus app, our players can directly impact the Foundation’s ongoing efforts. Our hearts go out to all the families affected, and we hope our efforts can momentarily make the coming days of rebuilding a little easier. Babangon tayo, Mindanao.”
The Foundation is currently coordinating onsite distribution and schedules with the relevant authorities to quickly deliver their assistance packages to the hardest-hit sectors of General Santos City.
On top of this, the Foundation is also coordinating with other partners to better understand the situation and provide further support.
Though no earthquake can truly shake off and tear down a Filipino’s resolve, that resilience must quickly be rewarded in times of need, and the DigiPlus Foundation is pulling out all the stops to make sure Mindanao rebuilds and rises back in no time.
Help the earthquake victims today by downloading the BingoPlus app and visiting the Charity page.
