GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Philippines, 12th June 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Following the powerful earthquake that recently struck parts of Mindanao, Carziqo has carried out a community relief initiative to support families affected by the disaster, with assistance focused on communities in General Santos City and Maasim, Sarangani.

The earthquake, which was widely felt across southern Mindanao, brought fear, disruption, and hardship to many residents. Public reports said the quake caused damage to buildings, roads, bridges, public facilities, and homes in several affected areas, including General Santos City, Sarangani, South Cotabato, and nearby communities. In the days after the tremor, many families continued to face uncertainty, aftershock concerns, and the need for basic daily supplies.

Upon learning about the situation, Carziqo immediately began internal coordination to support relief efforts for affected residents. The company organized the purchase and preparation of essential goods, including rice, drinking water, canned food, noodles, and basic food packs for distribution to families in need.

As part of the relief response, Carziqo team member Ricky Sendiong Lumapas, a local teacher, together with Loradel D. Acosta B, helped coordinate the distribution of relief goods in the General Santos City and Maasim area. Their participation reflected the company’s belief that effective community support begins with people who understand the local situation, the needs of residents, and the importance of immediate action during a difficult time.

During the relief activity, residents received food packs and essential supplies prepared for families affected by the earthquake. The distribution was carried out with care and respect, prioritizing practical assistance for households that needed support after the disaster. The relief goods included staple food items and daily necessities intended to help families manage their immediate needs while recovery efforts continue.

Carziqo said the initiative was not only a company response, but also a reflection of its responsibility to the communities where it operates and hopes to grow. While Carziqo is known for its focus on intelligent mobility, technology, and future transportation solutions, the company believes that true progress must also include compassion, social responsibility, and meaningful action during times of crisis.

“Technology can help build the future, but responsibility gives that future meaning,” Carziqo said in a company statement. “When communities face hardship, companies should not remain silent. We believe that every act of support, whether large or small, can bring comfort, strength, and hope to families working to recover.”

For residents in affected areas, immediate assistance such as food, clean water, and daily supplies can make a meaningful difference in the first stage of recovery. Carziqo emphasized that its relief activity was focused on practical help, not publicity, and that the company’s priority was to stand with Filipino families during a time of need.

The company also expressed appreciation to its local team members and volunteers who helped organize the relief distribution on the ground. Their efforts helped ensure that the supplies reached real families and residents affected by the earthquake.

Carziqo said it will continue to monitor the situation in Mindanao and will remain attentive to the needs of communities affected by the disaster. The company also extended its sincere sympathy to families who lost loved ones, suffered injuries, experienced property damage, or were forced to temporarily suspend their normal lives because of the earthquake.

In this difficult moment, Carziqo stands with the people of General Santos City, Maasim, Sarangani, and the wider Mindanao community.

Explora Books announces the release of a new edition of Passages Home by Jeff Dwyer under the Explora Books imprint. Revisiting themes of war, memory, and emotional recovery, the novel returns for a new generation of readers at a moment when its subject—the invisible wounds of combat and the long road back from them—feels as urgent as ever.

Passages Home follows Jason, a veteran of the Iraq War, as he leaves Berkeley and makes his way north along California’s rugged Coast Highway toward Mendocino, carrying with him the quiet wreckage of war. The novel moves through vineyards, forests, beaches, and storm-soaked hillsides, where labor, solitude, and chance encounters begin to loosen the grip of memory. Jason fights a forest fire, survives a flood, tends a vineyard, and falls under the enigmatic guidance of a figure known only as the Crazy Man—whose influence, in encounters deep within a redwood forest, proves central to Jason’s gradual restoration.

As the journey unfolds, the physical landscape begins to mirror the fractures Jason carries within. The nurturing people of Mendocino, the cleansing trials of fire and flood, and the Crazy Man’s quiet counsel work together to guide him through passages that inch him back toward the life he knew before the war. It is not a swift or straightforward return. Dwyer traces the uncertain, nonlinear process of becoming whole again, allowing meaning to surface through experience rather than explanation—and in doing so, gives the novel its quiet emotional authority.

The book is dedicated to Dwyer’s son, with the hope that he, too, may someday complete his passages home. It is a dedication that lends the novel a deeply personal weight beneath its fictional surface, and signals the sincerity with which Dwyer approaches his subject.

Passages Home speaks to readers who have experienced profound loss, displacement, or emotional upheaval—whether through war or any other life-altering event. Written with lyrical precision and emotional restraint, it is an honest portrait of a man struggling to move forward, and of the unexpected places and people that make that possible.

Jeff Dwyer was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and raised in the island community of Alameda. He draws on a wide range of lived and academic experience in his writing. Alongside a career in the medical sciences, including positions at Duke University and the University of Southern California, he has written across fiction, nonfiction, and medical journals.

With its return on the Explora Books imprint, Passages Home reintroduces Jeff Dwyer’s novel to contemporary readers as a meditative and quietly reflective work shaped by movement, memory, and change.

Passages Home is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major book retailers.
