Globe expands relief efforts for Mayon-affected communities in Albay

Globe continues to scale its relief and support operations in Albay as Mayon Volcano remains under Alert Level 3, with communities in high-risk areas staying in evacuation centers amid ongoing volcanic activity.

As part of its continuing response, Globe, through its #AlagangGlobe initiative and in collaboration with partners, has delivered food assistance and essential supplies to affected residents across multiple municipalities.

From May 7 to 8, Globe supported the distribution of relief packs in coordination with local government units and partner organization, Rise Against Hunger Philippines (RAHP):

●      Brgy. Muladbucad Pequeño, Guinobatan – 1,000 meal packs from RAHP

●      Bariw Evacuation Center (Camalig) – 540 meal packs from RAHP

●      Baligang Evacuation Center (Ligao City) – 105 meal packs from RAHP

●      Additional 200 grocery food packs for Agpay, Guinobatan, and ⁠⁠⁠Baligang Evacuation Center, Ligao City, from Globe

These efforts were organized through the donations of customers via Globe Rewards and GoGIVE, which aim to provide immediate nourishment and support to families temporarily displaced by volcanic activity. Globe customers can continue to provide support to our affected kababayans by using the GlobeOne app.

Further extending support, Ayala Foundation Inc. (AFI) will lead relief operations in Camalig City and Guinobatan, Albay, distributing 1,000 food packs in the coming days, together with #BrigadangAyala.

“Our work on the ground is rooted in ensuring that affected communities feel supported and cared for during this time,” said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer. “Through collaboration, we are able to respond more meaningfully to the needs of evacuees.”

Jomar Fleras, Executive Director of RAHP added, “Access to hot, nutritious meals is critical in evacuation settings. We are grateful to work with Globe and its partners to help sustain communities as they navigate this disruption.”

Globe continues to work closely with local government units, partner organizations, and volunteers to expand assistance where needed, while maintaining network reliability across the region.

As the situation evolves, Globe remains committed to supporting affected communities and enabling them to stay connected, informed, and resilient.
