MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) mobilized on Thursday large-scale relief assistance to earthquake-stricken Southern Mindanao, which included essential supplies and a fleet of patient transport vehicles (PTVs).
The latest effort, in line with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive for a swift and comprehensive government response to the earthquake, follows PCSO’s initial response through its Authorized Agent Corporations (AACs), which immediately mobilized and provided relief aid to affected communities within the first 24 hours after the earthquake.
