In the wake of the Northern Cebu earthquake and the successive onslaught of Typhoons Tino and Uwan, DigiPlus Foundation, formerly known as BingoPlus Foundation and the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive Corp., has mobilized a total of P8 million worth of disaster relief to help nearly 70,000 Filipinos rebuild their lives across Visayas and other severely-affected provinces in Luzon through its "BayanihanPlus” Community Resilience Program.

The Foundation reached an estimated 56,000 individuals affected by the magnitude 6.9 earthquake in Northern Cebu. Relief operations covered six hard-hit locations: Bogo, Daanbantayan, Medellin, San Remigio, Tabogon, and Borbon, where families faced damaged homes, disrupted livelihoods, and recurring aftershocks.
