🚨 PHILIPPINE RED CROSS ACTIVATES EMERGENCY FUND CAMPAIGN FOR COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY THE MAGNITUDE 7.8 EARTHQUAKE IN MINDANAO 🚨
A powerful magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck west of General Santos City on June 8, triggering tsunami warnings, evacuations, and disruptions across several parts of Mindanao.
Under the directives of the PRC Chairman and CEO Richard J. Gordon, the PRC Chapters have deployed personnel to conduct rapid assessments and provide immediate assistance to affected communities within the minutes of the earthquake. The RC143 volunteers have been mobilized, while ambulances have been dispatched in North Cotabato, South Cotabato, and Gingoog City to respond to emergency medical needs and monitor affected areas. PRC personnel also provided medical assistance to students who experienced hyperventilation following the strong ground shaking.
Health and Welfare Services teams are currently assessing hospitals and healthcare facilities, while chapter responders continue monitoring communities that may be affected by aftershocks, displacement, and possible tsunami impacts. To ensure readiness for further developments, PRC has placed emergency response assets on standby across Regions XI and XII, including six ambulances, three food trucks, four water tankers, two Volunteer Emergency Response Vehicles (VERVs), a rescue boat, a Humvee, and cargo vehicles ready for deployment.
"Our teams are already on the ground conducting assessments, providing emergency medical assistance, and coordinating with local authorities in affected areas. We are calling on the public and our partners to support the Philippine Red Cross Emergency Appeal so we can immediately provide relief, safe water, healthcare, and other critical assistance to communities that may be affected in the coming days," said PRC Secretary General Dr. Gwendolyn Pang.
PRC Chairman and CEO Richard J. Gordon emphasized the importance of swift humanitarian action, "When disasters strike, the speed of humanitarian response can make a significant difference for affected families. We appeal to the public, our donors, and partners to help us sustain these efforts and prepare for the needs that may arise in the coming days."
As assessments continue, the Philippine Red Cross is preparing to expand emergency medical services, relief distributions, safe water provision, psychosocial support, shelter assistance, and recovery interventions for affected communities.
The Philippine Red Cross remains on full alert and stands ready to scale up its response in coordination with local government units, national agencies, and humanitarian partners.

PHILIPPINE RED CROSS PILOTS RC143 BASIC TRAINING COURSE TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY-BASED VOLUNTEER RESPONSE
The Philippine Red Cross conducted the Pilot Training for the Red Cross 143 Basic Training Course, reinforcing its flagship volunteer program initiative that aims to equip volunteers in every barangay with the knowledge, skills, and values needed by a Red Cross volunteer.
Under the RC143 Program, PRC aims to organize 44 volunteers in every barangay nationwide. Each 44-member team is envisioned to support Red Cross services, including blood, safety and first aid, disaster management and rescue, health, welfare, and water, sanitation, and hygiene.
The training comes as the Philippines continues to face recurring disasters and emergencies, with communities exposed to typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic hazards, flooding, and other risks. Through RC143, PRC seeks to build a proactive and community-based humanitarian system where volunteers can save lives.
PRC Chairman and CEO Richard J. Gordon underscored the importance of placing trained volunteers in communities. “The first minutes during emergencies are critical. That is why every barangay must have trained volunteers who can predict, plan, prepare, practice and also report and respond. RC143 brings the Red Cross closer to the people, so we can act faster and serve better,” Gordon said.
PRC Secretary General Dr. Gwen Pang emphasized, “ Without RC143, there is no strong community-based response system. Even with equipment and logistics, response will always depend on trained volunteers on the ground.”
The pilot training gathered a total of 66 participants, composed of personnel from the PRC National Headquarters and representatives from NCR Chapters. Through the pilot training, PRC aims to strengthen the standard implementation of RC143 across offices, chapters, and barangays, ensuring that every volunteer understands their role in preparedness and response.
PRC will conduct successive trainings in Northern and Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao Chapters.
