When the earthquake struck, many families in 𝐓’𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢 and 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐛𝐮 lost more than homes and belongings. They lost the comfort, security, and sense of normalcy that every family deserves.

While evacuation centers continue to receive support, many affected families are staying in temporary shelters near their homes and communities, often far from established evacuation areas. These families continue to face daily challenges, especially access to basic necessities that can provide comfort and protection while they recover.

As members of 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐑 (𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞 & 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧), we believe that coffee communities are built not only around a shared passion for coffee, but also around compassion for people.

Through 𝐘𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐩 𝐊𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚, we are inviting our coffee community, partners, friends, and fellow South Cotabateños to help provide comfort and hope to earthquake-affected families as they begin rebuilding their lives.

We are accepting donations of:
• Blankets
• Mosquito Nets
• Pillows
• Towels
• Hygiene Kits
• Trapal/Tents
• Drinking Water

These simple items can help bring warmth, comfort, dignity, and a sense of security to families living in temporary shelters.

☕🌱 SCoBar at the South Cotabato Coffee Forum!

Today, the members of the South Cotabato Barista Association proudly participated in the South Cotabato Coffee Forum held at Viajera through a coffee appreciation activity and presentation of SCoBar — sharing the importance of coffee quality, appreciation, and the growing role of baristas in strengthening the local coffee industry. 🇵🇭☕

The South Cotabato Coffee Forum: Advancing Production, Processing, and Market Access, held as part of the South Cotabato Business Week in partnership with the Provincial Government of South Cotabato and the Department of Agriculture – Regional Field Office XII, gathered coffee farmers, industry leaders, processors, and partners committed to advancing the future of South Cotabato coffee.

Today marks a meaningful step forward for the coffee community of 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐨.

We officially gathered for the 𝐒𝐂𝐨𝐁𝐚𝐫 (𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧) Pre-Work Strategic Planning and Roadmap, bringing together passionate individuals committed to building a stronger, more unified coffee ecosystem in the province.

The session was anchored with a coffee cupping of T’boli, South Cotabato Specialty Coffee—a reminder of why we do what we do: to elevate the quality, story, and value of our local coffee from farm to cup.

Guided and facilitated by 𝐃𝐓𝐈 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐌𝐫. 𝐉𝐚𝐲 𝐃𝐮𝐜𝐨, the discussion laid down the foundation for what SCoBar aims to become—an organization that champions education, quality, collaboration, and sustainable growth for everyone in the industry.

📍 Held today, April 10, 2026
📍 Margots Grill, Koronadal City, South Cotabato

This is just the beginning.
From conversations to action, from plans to impact—
we move forward, together.
