US extends $1M assistance for typhoon, quake victims
The Freeman
|November 09, 2025
The United States is extending $1 million, or over P58 million, in immediate lifesaving assistance to support victims of Typhoon Kalmaegi (locally known as Tino), successive storms, and the recent Cebu earthquake.
-
This was announced through a statement released by the U.S. Department of State on November 7, 2025. In addition, the United States affirmed its commitment to augment ongoing Philippine-led response efforts by providing emergency shelter, logistics services, and access to safe water and sanitation for the hardest-hit communities.
This assistance comes as the U.S. government acknowledges that many of the affected areas are still reeling from consecutive storms and the powerful earthquake that struck Cebu in September.
