With the help of foodpanda, HONOR Ph, and Ripple8, the organization was able to gather and deliver two batches of donations consisting of 30 boxes of drinkable water, hygiene essentials such as sanitary pads, alcohol, soap, and shampoo, as well as 50 boxes of multivitamins to support the survivors\u2019 recovery and health.<\/p>\n<p>The donations were turned over to the <strong>Metro Davao United Fire and Rescue Inc.<\/strong>, as they took charge of transporting all relief goods from Davao City to Manay, Davao Oriental.<\/p>\n<p>Even weeks after the quake, many families in Manay continue to face difficult conditions. Running water has yet to be restored, forcing residents to rely on donations or nearby streams for their daily needs. Power supply remains unstable, with electricity lasting only about 30 minutes a day, and communication signals are still limited.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15190\" src=\"https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/palawanderer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_0082-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\u201c<em>Learning about Manay\u2019s situation moved us to take action, and we are very grateful to our partners, foodpanda, HONOR Ph, and Ripple8, for stepping up and helping us make this possible.
