132,020\npeople in Cotabato Province are affected by the earthquake. 100% of them are\ndisplaced due to damaged houses. Evacuation centers are temporary tents in open\nfields where families sleep exposed to the elements especially in the past\nthree days where rain was heavy. Government response is slow but national\ngovernment is taking over through Department of National Defense. DND screens\nrelief and only registered and validated aid organizations have access to the\naffected families based on the Memo of Office of Martial Law Administrator.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nDiocese of Kidapawan gets funds from NASSA and other dioceses. They are\nrequired to report to LGU because they are not registered aid agency.\nCurrently, tents and food packs are distributed to parishes. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 70%\nof the 20,000 affected families come from Makilala, where eleven barangays are forced evacuated due to\nlandslides and ongoing aftershocks. Camps are crowded with no facilities and no\nservices. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Duyog\nMarawi, in partnership with two local NGOs in Kidapawan , Kasilak Foundation\nand AKKAP Foundation, and the Diocesan Quick Response Group, plans to conduct a\nSolidarity Mission for 1,000 families in Garsika including 250 Muslim Families,\nThe solidarity mission combines Shelter, WASH, Psychosocial for Children and\nWomen, Women\u2019s Special Needs, and Supplementary Feeding. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\nhave gathered initial pledges for many our needs, but we are trying to raise\n500,000 to raise the safety, dignity, and survival of 1000 families, and\nconduct Play and Pray Therapy as well as Clean \nHand, Clean Heart Campaign for 1,000 children.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If we have more funds, we hope to reach out to the Indigenous Peoples who are isolated in Llomavis, Kidapawan and had been transferred to other evacuation sites. 1,400 Ubo-Manobo living outside the geothermal plants. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I.<\/strong> INTRODUCTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Duyog\nMarawi Earthquake Assistance Team was originally a response to the request of\nNASSA for data and to the Radyo Veritas for news stories. It is part of our\nmission to be a voice of Mindanao\u2019s disaster affected families. We decided that\nsince we were going there, we might as well conduct Psychosocial Activities for\nChildren in the parishes of Tulunan and Mlang. However, upon entry in Cotabato\nprovince, another major earthquake happened \u2013 the third one \u2013 with a magnitude\nof 6.5 and Intensity VII. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A meeting with the PDRRMO<\/strong> revealed that they are still organizing. Their data is\nnot complete. We got requested by the Provincial DRRM to proceed to Makilala to help in the data\ngathering by PDRRMO Mercy Foronda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also conducted interview and courtesy\ncall with Bishop Jose Collin Bagaforo, D.D. who told us that he doesn\u2019t have\nany data, and they were still setting up the Quick Response Team. Thus we\ndecided to proceed to Makilala and other areas and conduct First Response in\nGarsika while the earthquake shocks were still going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In our team was Chief of Mission, Tito\nRevereal, three licensed social workers (Amerah Dipantar, Hakim Onsil, Juhaira\nSaidali), a DRR Specialist (Cath Tacoloy) First Aider (Cosary Pangandamun),\nCommunications and Media Officer Abdullah Acmad, Safety and Security Officer\nUsman Doro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This Duyog Marawi visit was covered by ABS-CBN, Radyo Veritas, and Ucanews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n On 29 October 2019 at around 9:04 AM, the\nPhilippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recorded the\nsecond strong earthquake of Magnitude 6.6 that shook the province of North\nCotabato with and almost the same epicentre located 25 kilometers southeast of\nthe municipality of Tulunan with a depth of 7 kilometers. It was a shallow\nearthquake, thus damage was expected to be high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n October 31, 2019 at 9:15 AM, another strong\nearthquake of Magnitude 6.5 again rocked central and eastern Mindanao was\nrecorded with tectonic in origin at a shallow depth of two (2) kilometers. Once\nmore, the epicentre was determined in Tulunan, North Cotabato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These earthquakes, as well as the\npreviously recorded earthquake on October 16, 2019 of Magnitude 6.3, with the\nsame epicentre location in Tulunan, North Cotabato, is considered part of a\nsequence of events from interrelated faults in the region. Death toll is now at\n15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They were felt as far as Palo, Leyte, but\nthe Intensity VII was recorded in Makilala, Tulunan, Kidapawan, and Mlang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PhiVocs warned that due to the magnitude of\nthese earthquakes, small to medium aftershocks are expected. Ruptures,\nlandslides, and sand boils were recorded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n AFFECTED POPULATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note<\/em><\/strong>: 20, 704 out of the 29, 479 or 70 percent of the affected families are from Makilala where 100% of the houses where either totally of partially damaged. In contrast, the Bohol Earthquake totally damaged 14,500 houses and structures or less than half of the Makilala record. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Source: NDRRMC SitRep 9 as of November 2, 2019 at 6:00 PM) <\/p>\n\n\n\n III.

RELEVANT INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n V. PROPOSAL OF DUYOG MARAWI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The urgency of the situation and the trust we have established with the local leaders in Makilala moves us to conduct a Solidarity Visit next week. Time is of the essence now as people are getting desperate. There are news of roadside begging as well as lack of order in many evacuation centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our links with Kasilak Foundation means we have access to the security personnel of Dole Stanfilco which is the employer of 80% of the Garsika Evacuation Center and New Cebu Evacuation Center. A combined 1,000 families. Using the best practices we did for the Marawi Siege, a Solidarity Visit is not just a relief operations but a community engagement.
