UPDATE: Bitget has just announced a critical support initiative for communities in northern Cebu, Philippines, following a devastating 6.9 magnitude earthquake that struck the region. This urgent donation drive, launched in partnership with The Ascent Project, has already provided essential relief supplies to 118 residents in Bogo City and San Remigio.
The earthquake, described as the strongest in decades, has left thousands displaced and caused significant damage to local infrastructure. In response, Bitget mobilized a relief effort amounting to PHP 100,000, facilitating the distribution of food packs, hygiene kits, and other critical necessities to families severely affected by the disaster. The relief operation took place on November 2, 2025, when local volunteers, guided by The Ascent Project and barangay officials, identified households in urgent need of aid.
Many families in the region are currently without stable access to electricity and clean water, making this assistance crucial as weather alerts indicate another storm is approaching. “My heart goes out to people that have been struggling during this difficult time,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Our community in Cebu has helped us stand with those in need during such distress; we hope to support and continue building trust.”
This initiative not only highlights Bitget’s commitment to providing timely support but also reflects its broader strategy of engaging directly with user communities in Southeast Asia. The company has a longstanding tradition of grassroots involvement, making it well-equipped to respond quickly in times of crisis.
Bitget’s efforts are part of a larger global impact strategy, which includes collaborations with organizations like UNICEF to expand digital and blockchain education for over 1 million young people by 2027. As recovery efforts continue in northern Cebu, Bitget and its local partners are actively assessing further assistance options to support rebuilding initiatives.
The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated; many families are still grappling with the aftermath of the earthquake, and the need for support remains high. Bitget is committed to extending its presence beyond trading platforms, focusing on meaningful, on-ground support where it is most needed.
As this story develops, Bitget urges others to join in supporting the recovery efforts in Cebu. For more updates, stay tuned as the situation unfolds, and consider ways to contribute to the ongoing relief efforts for those affected by this natural disaster.
