More than ₱1.5 million worth of relief assistance was distributed by ABCVIP Alliance, together with online gaming brands ABC8, J8, PH8, U888, AP777, AQ777, SH777, and 777SH, to over 3,000 families and individuals affected by the strong earthquake in Sarangani Province.
Among the beneficiaries were residents of Barangay Batulaki, one of the most remote and hard-to-reach areas in the municipality of Glan. According to local officials and residents, ABCVIP Alliance was among the earliest groups—and reportedly the first online casino alliance—to personally reach the area to deliver immediate assistance.
The mission was far from easy. From Metro Manila, volunteers traveled to Mindanao carrying thousands of relief goods. Due to limited flights to General Santos City, the team had to pass through Davao City before continuing a long overland journey to Sarangani.
The trip to Barangay Batulaki became even more challenging due to landslides, damaged roads and bridges, and heavy traffic caused by the earthquake. In some areas, rivers had to be temporarily filled to create makeshift passages for vehicles carrying relief supplies.
Despite these difficulties, the group successfully delivered relief packs containing rice, food, drinking water, and other essential needs for families temporarily staying in evacuation centers and tent communities.
Prior to distribution, ABCVIP Alliance also conducted relief packing operations in Barangay Diamond Calumpang, where local residents actively participated in preparing thousands of relief packs, highlighting the spirit of bayanihan.
Organizers said the mission was about more than just providing aid. Their goal was to remind affected families that they are not alone and that support is available for their recovery and rebuilding.
ABCVIP Alliance expressed gratitude to all volunteers, sponsors, donors, partners, and supporters who made the mission possible, and reaffirmed their commitment to continue reaching more communities in need.
