On June 8, a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Mindanao, Philippines, resulting in at least 35 deaths, 12 missing persons, and over 200 injuries. The earthquake's epicenter was near Sarangani province, with the strongest shaking felt in General Santos City. In response to the disaster, celebrities Melai Cantiveros, Sandara Park, and Anne Curtis took to social media to express their prayers and support for the affected communities. Cantiveros shared images of the destruction in her hometown and appealed for assistance, particularly for hospitals in need of tents for displaced individuals. Sandara Park conveyed her heartfelt message, recalling the warmth and love she experienced in Mindanao, while Curtis simply stated her prayers for all affected. The earthquake led to the suspension of classes in impacted areas and temporarily halted operations at General Santos Airport, resulting in the cancellation of 17 domestic flights. Authorities issued tsunami warnings, which were later lifted after minor waves were recorded.
