MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao sees the Mindanao earthquake hitting an area close to his home.

The Filipino boxing champion grew up in General Santos City and invites Sarangani to his home.

“My heart is heavy as I receive news of the devastation and distress caused by the earthquake in our home,” Pacquiao said in a statement issued to the media on Wednesday, June 10. “To the families who have lost loved ones and to all those who have been displaced or whose homes and livelihoods have been damaged, please know that you are in my thoughts and in my prayers.”

Pacquiao, who is currently in the United States, said he is working to expedite his return to the Philippines to personally help those affected by the earthquake.

“Although I am currently in the United States to fulfill my previous commitments, I am closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with our teams on the ground to ensure that assistance reaches those who need it most as quickly as possible. Please stay strong and remain vigilant in anticipation of aftershocks,” Pacquiao said.

The boxing icon is also raising money for those affected by the earthquake through his charitable organization The Manny Pacquiao Foundation and through GoFundMe.

The proceeds will be used to fund the following:

Assistance for displaced families, children, the elderly, and vulnerable populations Emergency food, clean drinking water, and nutrition supplies Temporary shelter, bedding, blankets, and emergency housing Medical care, medications, first aid, and trauma support Hygiene kits, sanitation supplies, and household essentials

He added: “You are not alone in this. We will face this challenge together and rebuild as one team. Stay safe and may God bless and protect you all.”

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Sarangani and hit many parts of Mindanao on Monday morning, June 8. The earthquake caused extensive damage to infrastructure, including nearly 200 classrooms around Mindanao.

As of Tuesday, June 9, a total of 37 deaths have been recorded by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, 33 of them in Sokssargen.

The Pacquiao family has strong political ties to Mindanao. Lorelei Geronimo Pacquiao, the boxer’s sister-in-law, is the mayor of General Santos City, one of the hardest-hit cities. Manny himself served as Sarangani’s congressman from 2010 to 2016, and was succeeded by his younger brother Rogelio Pacquiao from 2016 to 2022.
