SARANGANI PROVINCE — More than 700 residents affected by the recent magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Sarangani received food and clean drinking water through relief operations conducted by FPJ Panday Bayanihan Party-List and FPJ Youth in the municipality of Glan on June 15, 2026.

The groups carried out feeding and relief activities in Barangays Taluya, Tango, and Congan, providing immediate assistance to families affected by the disaster. 

Earthquake survivors here received hot meals, drinking water, and food packs as part of the ongoing humanitarian response.

In Barangay Taluya, 320 residents from Purok Bougainvilla and Purok Santol were given hot meals and seven-liter bottles of water. 

Another 180 residents in Barangay Tango received hot meals, while senior citizens, pregnant women, and families with infants were provided additional water supplies and food packs.

To support broader relief operations, FPJ Panday Bayanihan Party-List also turned over drinking water supplies through the Office of Civil Defense. 

The water donations were prepared for transport and distribution to affected communities with the assistance of the Philippine Air Force and the Philippine Coast Guard.

The relief mission was conducted in coordination with local officials, youth leaders, and partner organizations. 

Additional support came from Food Panda, which donated packed goods and drinking water for distribution.

According to the group, it assessed the situation on the ground before deploying assistance to identify communities most in need of immediate support.

The latest reports from disaster response authorities show that Sarangani remains among the areas hardest hit by the earthquake, with thousands of families displaced and significant damage recorded across affected communities.

The relief operation follows an earlier donation of drinking water by FPJ Panday Bayanihan Party-List to residents in General Santos City through the Philippine Coast Guard.
