FILIPINO COMMUNITY IN KUWAIT: Celebrating Great Accomplishments

MUST WATCH!!! FILIPINO COMMUNITY IN KUWAIT ON A MISSION

In the face of disaster, the Filipino spirit remains unshaken — rising with resilience, compassion, and unity.

In 2019, a powerful earthquake struck Region XI (Davao) and Region XII (SOCCSKSARGEN) in the Philippines, resulting in the loss of 13 lives and injuring over 210 individuals. The devastation displaced more than 131,000 people, pushing families out of their homes and into 58 evacuation centers or open spaces, often near barangay halls and churches.

According to the Disaster Response Operations Monitoring and Information Center (DROMIC), nearly 37,000 evacuees sought shelter in government-run centers, while 94,000+ stayed with host families or in improvised tents — many of them still reeling from emotional and psychological trauma as aftershocks continued to strike.

This tragedy highlights the Philippines’ vulnerability to earthquakes, given its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire. Fortunately, global and local organizations, including Save the Children, have long been at the forefront of providing aid and protection for children and families affected by such calamities.
