NLCOM Assists Over One Thousand Families In General Santos City

New Life Community Care Foundation International, Inc. (NLCOM) – the compassion arm of New Life Philippines located inside Alabang Hills Village in Muntinlupa City – provided assistance and much-needed relief to more than one thousand families in General Santos City who were impacted by the power Mindanao earthquake.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the July 5 social media announcement by NLCOM. Some parts in boldface…

From June 22–25, we had the privilege of serving earthquake-affected communities across General Santos City, Sarangani, T’Boli (South Cotabato), and nearby areas. During those few days, we distributed relief assistance to 1,100 families, installed 17 community water filtration systems, and conducted Psychological First Aid (PFA) to help children, families, and communities.

Every disaster reminds us that the need is always greater than our capacity. While we thank God for every relief bag distributed, every family reached, every community given access to clean water, and every conversation that brought comfort, we also recognize that there are still many who need help, hope, and healing.

Our prayer is not simply to do more, but to be more prepared—to continue equipping ourselves, strengthening partnerships, and responding with excellence whenever communities are faced with crisis. We pray that God will continue to expand our capacity so that more lives can be served, more families can receive practical care, and more hearts can experience His love through the Church.

As we look ahead, we invite you to continue standing with us. Pray for the communities that are still rebuilding, pray for our local church partners, and if God is stirring your heart to be part of future disaster response efforts, we’d love to connect with you.

In ending post, let me share with you a few holy scriptures that should remind you that God is our source, our provider and the blessedness of giving is absolutely true. Be remind that Lord Jesus is the hope of all nations.

Mercy to the needy is a loan to God, and God pays back those loans in full.

Proverbs 19:17 (MSG)

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV)

Heartbreaking to see families on the streets, where collapsed infrastructures & rubble where, just there crying— some are calling out names of family they lost.. Just hoping if they are still alive under those pile. . . Very very heartbreaking..💔 Death toll rises and also Missing people still unable to find their bodies.

@mdione someone suggested a HOT tasking manager project in the PH group chat on Telegram, but I think it’s up to the Asia Pacific Hub of HOT to talk to partners to determine which locations need the most mapping because the earthquake affected a really large area.

But if folks want to help out now, General Santos City is the nearest big city that was affected: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/14144757

Pickup Coffee Targets Around 800 Stores By The End Of 2026

Pickup Coffee, the popular homegrown coffee chain, is aiming to have around eight hundred stores by the end of 2026, according to a news article by the Philippine News Agency (PNA). Pickup Coffee first opened in 2022 and it now has roughly five hundred branches. It continues to attract customers who love coffee.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the PNA news article. Some parts in boldface…

Banking on Filipinos’ love for coffee along with more affordable offerings, an official of grab-and-go coffee chain Pickup Coffee expressed confidence for continued expansion amidst the current economic challenges.

To date, the brand has around 500 coffee kiosks around the country, mostly in Metro Manila, and about a hundred stores in Mexico City.

The goal is to have around 800 stores by end-2026, Diego Lorenzo, Pickup Coffee chief executive officer and cofounder said in an interview Tuesday night.

The company is now open to franchising, with an initial investment of PHP2 million for the coffee truck’s stock, equipment and construction.

Lorenzo said they plan to open as many as 200 more company-owned stores nationwide this year, with the focus on Northern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

He said they cater to people from all walks of life, from those who can afford high-end brands but are open to cheaper options with quality offerings, to those in the C and D levels.

“The more accessible you are, the faster you will grow,” he said.

The brand has received capital from venture capitalists and Lorenzo said this is a sign of the brand’s potential to post stronger growth going forward.

Rami Chahwan, president of Pickup Coffee, said franchising will complement the existing branches, citing lessons learned over the last 48 months.

He said they have piloted 10 franchise stores over the last three months to ensure they can efficiently cater to more units once this bid is in full bloom.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the quality of drinks and services of Pickup Coffee will be well maintained as the franchising of their business happens? Do you think Pickup Coffee will be able to grow even as the economy of the Philippines slows down? Do you think only a recession would stop Pickup Coffee’s growth? If you consumed coffee from Pickup Coffee, what can you say about the taste and quality of what was served to you?
