We Care for Humanity and Sultanate of Maguindanao Mobilize Relief for Davao Earthquake Victims

DAVAO CITY, PHILIPPINES – October 20, 2025 – In a swift humanitarian response to the recent earthquake that affected the region, We Care for Humanity (WCH) and the Sultanate of Maguindanao, under the royal patronage of HRH Maha Putri (Queen) Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura and HM Sultan Zulkarnain Mastura Kudarat VI, have successfully conducted a large-scale relief-aid distribution in Davao City.

The mission, led on the ground by Queen Mariam, Founder of We Care for Humanity, provided essential necessities to hundreds of families in dire need. The distribution was held at Talomo Barangay Proper and served many of the most vulnerable, including some who traveled as far as six hours from Davao Oriental to receive assistance.

Upon landing in Davao, Torres immediately spearheaded the procurement of bulk supplies, including rice, noodles, canned goods, coffee, and other condiments. The operation's success was ensured by a massive volunteer effort, which saw the entire cache of goods sorted and packed in less than 24 hours. The team of volunteers, led by the Royal Ladies of Maguindanao, was so extensive that the fashion atelier of Bai Nurainie Datumanong Ampatuan was generously converted into a temporary packing headquarters to accommodate the scale of the operation.

"Seeing the resilience of these families is humbling. This was a monumental effort, only made possible by the incredible spirit of bayanihan," said HRH Queen Mariam. "I am in awe of our Davao team, who mobilized their entire families to shop, pack, and deliver this aid. My hands are sore from packing, but my heart is full knowing this will bring comfort to so many. We are profoundly grateful to them and to our sponsors, whose compassion made this mission possible."

The success of the mission was heavily reliant on the on-ground support from key local leaders and volunteers. WCH and the Sultanate extend their deepest gratitude to:

• Sultanate of Maguindanao, Davao Region: Datu Joel Bustamante (Sultanate’s Secretary General), Sultan Racman Maug (Sultan and Council Elder), Datu Larry Cabagio (IPMR, Davao City), Rajamuda Buhari Camis (Muslim Affairs, Talomo), Datu Ali Sacar (Muslim Affairs, Talomo), Engr.

We Care for Humanity’s Peace Caravan: When the World Divides, Peace Becomes Our Duty

Today, the world finds itself in a fragile and turbulent state. Global peacefulness continues to decline, with the latest Global Peace Index showing that wars, violence, and instability are at their highest levels in decades. In just the past year, nearly 60 conflicts have raged across the globe, taking more than 150,000 lives and displacing millions from their homes. From the war in Ukraine, which has left Europe “no longer at peace” with Russia, to the devastating humanitarian crises in Gaza and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the story is the same: violence outpaces resolution, and hope often feels distant.

Conflicts today do not end easily. Few conclude with decisive victories or negotiated settlements. Instead, they drag on, leaving nations scarred and people uprooted. Even peaceful demonstrations are not spared, as seen in Kashmir where gunfire recently shattered a rally meant to call for reconciliation. The overall picture is one of a world under siege, struggling with armed tensions, fractured politics, economic instability, and the growing pressures of climate change.

Yet in this dark time, rays of light still shine. One such light is the Peace Caravan of We Care for Humanity. Unlike traditional diplomacy, the Caravan moves with the power of culture, art, and spirituality. Composed of Buddhist performing artists from the Himalayan region-; Nepal, Bhutan, India, Cambodia, Vietnam, and beyond, the Peace Caravan travels across countries and continents carrying the torch of compassion, unity, and healing.

Guided by the vision of MAHA PUTRI (QUEEN) MARIAM, founder of We Care for Humanity, the Caravan spreads peace not through speeches or treaties, but through the universal language of music, dance, and meditation. Wherever it goes, from Asia to Latin America, the Caravan builds bridges between peoples, reminding communities that peace begins not in political halls, but in human hearts.

The Peace Caravan embodies a simple yet powerful truth: when people share culture, when they sing, dance, and reflect together, divisions soften and hope takes root. It is a moving reminder that in times when the world is torn apart, peace is not an abstract dream. It is a responsibility, lived out in actions both great and small.

As conflicts continue to challenge humanity, We Care for Humanity reaffirms its mission: to carry this caravan of peace further, touching more communities, and planting seeds of compassion in places where despair once grew. Because though the world is restless, peace is possible, and it begins with us.
