Published Oct 23, 2025 03:20 pm
The local government of Pasig has provided a total of P7.5 million in financial assistance to several provinces affected by recent earthquakes and Typhoons Nando and Opong.
Since early October, the city has been distributing aid after a 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck Bogo City and the Province of Cebu on Sept. 30. The relief efforts were later extended to other provinces affected by earthquakes and typhoons that followed.
The Province of Davao Oriental was the latest to receive financial assistance from the city government, amounting to P2 million, following the recent twin earthquakes that measured magnitude 7.4 and 6.8.

The local government said the funds came from the 2025 Pasig City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund-Quick Response Fund (QRF).
The QRF is a standby emergency facility used to finance urgent relief and recovery efforts, enabling communities to return to normal after disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons.
The provision of financial assistance to six local government units affected by earthquakes and several typhoons was approved under Pasig City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (DRRMC) Resolution Nos. 3 and 4, s. 2025, which were adopted through Pasig City Council Resolution Nos. 83-12 and 100-12, s. 2025.
