Earthquake & Tsunami Response: A magnitude 7.8 quake off Sarangani triggered tsunami alerts and widespread disruption across Mindanao, with the NDRRMC reporting at least 19 deaths, 134 injured, and 12 missing (numbers still for validation), while authorities urged coastal residents to evacuate and stay away from damaged buildings as aftershocks remain possible. Disaster Logistics: General Santos Airport operations were suspended or limited, with CAAP issuing NOTAMs and canceling flights; malls in the city also shut temporarily for safety checks, and power grid operator NGCP reported damaged transmission lines while some services were restored. Government Mobilization: President Marcos ordered immediate response and monitoring; Malacañang said QRFs remain available, while the Philippine Army deployed HADR units and LGUs/officials coordinated rescue, route-clearing, and relief. Public Safety & Info Integrity: The PNP warned against fake posts claiming classes were postponed and said it is tracing the source; separate reports also show tsunami advisories and public alerts across the region, including Japan and Malaysia. Politics & Accountability: In the Senate flood-control probe, NBI chief Melvin Matibag said affidavits from the “18 bagmen” are mostly hearsay, while Sen. Erwin Tulfo said he may inhibit himself from the hearing amid allegations. Transport & Crime: LTO suspended a driver’s license for 90 days after a SLEX hit-and-run injured an HPG officer, and authorities are reviewing dashcam/CCTV footage to identify the suspect.
