In the wake of the devastating seismic event that recently rattled Northern Cebu, two prominent names in the online entertainment sector, CC6 and Funbingo, have shifted their focus from digital fun to humanitarian action. The brands have demonstrated that their identity transcends the gaming world, positioning themselves as compassionate corporate citizens deeply committed to community support.

A Swift Response to a Community Crisis

On October 6 and 7, 2025, the dedicated teams from CC6 and Funbingo embarked on a critical mission, traveling from Manila to Bogo City, Cebu, one of the areas hit hardest by the earthquake. Their goal was clear: to provide immediate, tangible relief to affected residents.

Over the intensive two-day operation, the initiative successfully delivered essential aid—including non-perishable groceries, vital clean drinking water, and other necessities—to more than 2,500 families across the most severely impacted barangays (local districts). This rapid and large-scale deployment underscored the organizations’ commitment to translating corporate success into meaningful social impact during times of crisis.

Collaboration Fuels the Mission

The success of the relief distribution was a testament to effective collaboration across local government, private businesses, and non-profit volunteers.

The massive undertaking of repacking and preparing the relief goods was centralized at the Fortuna Hotel, whose facilities were graciously opened by owner Ms. Carmel Sy. This generous contribution provided the essential logistical hub needed for the operation.

Crucial coordination on the ground was provided by Dr. Mary Jane Pernites, a noted host and motivational speaker, who established key connections with local institutions. Specifically, the operation received invaluable support from the SDO DepEd Carcar Cebu City, whose superintendents and dedicated teachers volunteered significant time and effort to ensure the repacking process was efficient and systematic.

CC6 and Funbingo extended their profound appreciation to Mayor Niel Martinez and the Local Government Unit of Bogo City for their exemplary guidance and logistical support throughout the entire outreach.

The relief teams successfully navigated and delivered goods to numerous communities, including:

Barangay Cogon: Targeting specific areas including Purok 4, 5, and 7, led by Capt. Allain Ree Florida Torion.
Barangay Gairan: Under the guidance of Capt. Nelia Lepon.
Barangay Siocon: Coordinated by Capt. Emman Jagdon, alongside Councilors Malou Roma and Cecille Sinadjan.

Further extending their reach to remote areas, the mission received additional support from grassroots volunteers, including Ms. Evangeline Damayo, the S-Black Boys, and the Kabataan ng Cebu Volunteers, ensuring that aid reached families in hard-to-access communities.

A Philosophy of Shared Victory

Explaining the motivation behind their substantial commitment, a representative from CC6 and Funbingo articulated the brands’ core philosophy:

“CC6 and Funbingo are fundamentally more than mere gaming platforms; we operate as a unified family that deeply cares for our community. We firmly believe that every successful endeavor should ultimately generate something positive. In moments of collective distress, the most crucial ‘game’ we can play is the one that restores and uplifts hope.”

The Ongoing Need for Shelter

While the distribution brought immediate relief to thousands, the reality on the ground remains challenging. The community continues to grapple with persistent aftershocks, leaving a significant number of families reluctant to return to their damaged homes.

A pressing need has emerged for temporary shelters and tarpaulins to shield those remaining outdoors from the harsh reality of cold, rainy nights.

The brands issued a rallying cry to the wider public and other organizations:

“We strongly encourage any individual or group who is able to help to reach out and contribute. Every single donation, regardless of its size, holds the power to provide essential comfort and renewed strength to these families as they face the long, difficult process of rebuilding their lives and homes.”

CC6 and Funbingo have unequivocally redefined their roles, proving that true victory is not measured in scores or wins, but in the collective act of sharing kindness, compassion, and hope—one community, and one meaningful action, at a time.
