The fire, which tragically displaced two hundred sixty three (263)

pressing needs of the fire victims and to offer swift relief during this
challenging time.
Through its OPTE program, employee volunteers of SM City Mindpro
distributed the relief packs containing rice, noodles, bottled water, and
canned goods to 263 families at Tugbungan Barangay Hall and evacuees
temporarily housed in Cabatangan Evacuation Center.
