Two trucks from South Cotabato arrived in Manay, Davao Oriental, on Saturday with food packs for residents affected by the earthquakes.
Rolly Doane Aquino, provincial disaster risk response and management officer, said Governor Reynaldo S. ordered the immediate dispatch of relief goods "right after the quake."
Time is of the essence … hanggang madaling-araw nag-repack kami and nag-karga sa sasakyan (we repacked and loaded the vehicles until dawn)
The trucks had tarps with the words "Tulong mula sa mga mamamayan ng South Cotabato" (Help from the people of South Cotabato) in uppercase.
