DigiPlus Foundation Leads ₱8-Million Relief Effort to Support Philippine Disaster Victims

In the wake of the Northern Cebu earthquake and the successive onslaught of Typhoons Tino and Uwan, DigiPlus Foundation, formerly known as BingoPlus Foundation and the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive Corp., has mobilized a total of ₱8 million worth of disaster relief to help nearly 70,000 Filipinos rebuild their lives across Visayas and other severely-affected provinces in Luzon through its “BayanihanPlus” Community Resilience Program.

Helping hand in Bulacan: DigiPlus Foundation’s Program Manager, Paul Tamayo, leads the distribution of relief goods to families in Bulacan displaced by Typhoon Uwan, ensuring aid reaches those needing to rebuild.

The Foundation reached an estimated 56,000 individuals affected by the magnitude 6.9 earthquake in Northern Cebu. Relief operations covered six hard-hit locations: Bogo, Daanbantayan, Medellin, San Remigio, Tabogon, and Borbon, where families faced damaged homes, disrupted livelihoods, and recurring aftershocks.

Following the devastating earthquakes, the DigiPlus Foundation rapidly expanded its nationwide relief operations to address the severe impacts of Typhoons Tino and Uwan, which brought heavy rains, floods, and landslides to Cebu and strong winds and widespread flooding to Luzon. The Foundation quickly coordinated with local government units to deliver essential aid to an estimated 14,350 affected individuals across targeted communities in Luzon, including Hagonoy, Bulacan; Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija; Dumaguete City and Bacolod City in Negros Island; and San Fabian, Pangasinan, as well as several barangays in Cebu City, reinforcing its sustained commitment to immediate disaster response and fostering community resilience throughout the Philippines.

“The scale of devastation from the recent Typhoons Tino and Uwan demands an even greater collective response to deliver hope to affected communities,” said Angela Camins-Wieneke, Executive Director of DigiPlus Foundation. “With affected areas spanning from Cebu to Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, and Pangasinan, we call on more partners to join our efforts. Working with our BingoPlus store volunteers and partners on the ground, we have already mobilized around ₱8 million in relief, but to truly help communities rebuild their lives, we need more support.”

Upholding the organization's nationwide commitment to disaster resilience, Michael Linatoc, Regional Manager for Luzon, emphasized the readiness of his team to mobilize for immediate rehabilitation efforts. Linatoc highlighted the inspiring dedication of the workforce in the Luzon as a benchmark for service, noting, "I witnessed the heroic efforts of our colleagues in the Visayas, and I am proud to see how our Luzon team mirrored this spirit in the areas of Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija to respond to the needs of affected communities," and assured the public that this spirit of solidarity extends northward. He confirmed that, likewise, branches in Luzon are fully prepared and eager to support the recovery of Filipinos devastated by the calamities, standing united with the rest of the nation in the mission to rebuild lives and livelihoods.

DigiPlus Foundation will continue working with local governments, partners, and its nationwide network of BingoPlus stores to support affected communities, from immediate relief to long-term recovery and resilience, staying true to its mission to multiply the good for Filipinos across the country.

How the Anker SOLIX C300 DC Keeps Filipino Homes Running During Outages and Emergencies

 The Philippines faces some of the world’s most frequent outages, caused by typhoons, heavy rains, and sudden power grid failures. When electricity cuts out without warning, homes can lose access to lighting, communication, essential devices, and even the everyday comforts families rely on.

 

When the lights go out, the Anker SOLIX C300 DC provides steady, reliable backup power, helping Filipino households stay connected and prepared through any interruption. It functions as a modern emergency kit—portable, dependable, and built for today’s unpredictable conditions.

 

Designed for Life’s Unpredictable Outages

With a 288Wh battery and up to 300W of output, the high-capacity backup power device supports the essential electronics families rely on when the grid becomes unstable, including phones, Wi-Fi routers, LED lamps, small fans, and other household devices that help maintain basic routines.

 

1. Lightweight, Ultra-Portable Build

Though light, the Anker SOLIX C300 DC delivers the functions needed for dependable use during outages. With a vertical layout that makes it 30% more space-efficient than industry-standard power stations and a weight of just 6.18 lbs, the device remains easy to move and store.

2. Versatile 7-Port Layout

The Anker SOLIX C300 DC features a seven-port layout that allows households to power multiple essentials at once. It includes a 120W car socket, two 140W USB-C PD 3.1 ports for ultra-fast two-way charging, a 100W USB-C port, a 15W USB-C port, and two 12W USB-A ports, offering flexibility for a wide range of electronics.

 

3. Battery Technology

Powered by a 288Wh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery rated at 90,000 mAh, the Anker SOLIX C300 DC uses a safer, more stable chemistry similar to the batteries used in electric and hybrid vehicles.

The device restores power quickly, reaching up to 80% in about one hour through its dual 140W USB-C PD 3.1 ports. Charging remains flexible during longer disruptions, with support for 100W solar input using compatible Anker 100W or 60W panels (not compatible with PS30, PS200, or PS400) and car charging for mobile or evacuation scenarios.

 

 

4. Built-In LED Light

A built-in, pop-out, extendable LED light provides immediate brightness during nighttime outages. The Anker SOLIX C300 DC offers clear visibility for navigating dark spaces, checking surroundings, or performing quick tasks when the power is cut out.

 

With the light integrated directly into the unit, households have a reliable source of illumination on hand—no need for separate flashlights or candles.

 

Indoor Safety Features

The Anker SOLIX C300 DC operates silently and produces no fumes or emissions, making it suitable for enclosed homes and condominiums where fuel generators cannot be used.

 

At its core is a Battery Management System (BMS) that continuously monitors temperature, voltage, and current to prevent overheating, short-circuit damage, and voltage spikes. With these protections in place, the device maintains safe, consistent performance throughout long outages and challenging weather conditions.

 

Practical for Everyday Use

The Anker SOLIX C300 DC is built for versatility, performing reliably not only in emergencies but also in day-to-day situations. Compact for indoor use and portable for outdoor plans, the backup power unit works well for powering devices at home and during camping trips, picnics, or open-air gatherings.

Strengthening Bilateral Creative Ties

French-Philippine film cooperation has long been a dynamic component of bilateral relations, with Filipino filmmakers increasingly gaining prominence at international festivals and participating in prestigious workshops such as La Fabrique organized by the Institut Français in Cannes and the Cinéfondation of the Cannes Film Festival. Over the years, Filipino productions have benefitted from French producer support and grants including Fonds Sud Cinéma and the Aide au Cinéma du Monde, enabling numerous projects to reach global audiences.

A Landmark Agreement Signed in Cannes

The signing of the co-production agreement now formalizes and expands these opportunities, allowing Filipino producers and directors to access French funding mechanisms, grants, tax incentives, talent networks, and distribution channels, strengthening both creative and commercial pathways. French Ambassador Marie Fontanel delivered the opening remarks, noting that this marks a new era for French–Filipino cinema. FDCP Chairman Jose Javier Reyes and DFA Undersecretary for International Economic Relations Maria Andrelita S.

The platform also fosters cross-border knowledge transfer and talent mobility, supporting the growth of the broader creative economy.
