OPLAN KAPATIRAN | Relief and Recovery Support for Mindanao Earthquake Victims

June 20, 2026 (Saturday)

With grateful hearts, we are honored to share the successful implementation of Oplan Kapatiran: Relief and Recovery Support for 7.8 Magnitude Earthquake-Affected Communities, a humanitarian initiative dedicated to helping our brothers, sisters, and fellow Filipinos affected by the recent earthquake in Mindanao.

Through the collective efforts of the APO Beta Phi Alumni Association, Beta Phi Chapter Residents, Gamma Theta Alumni Association, and Theta Beta Alumni Association, relief goods and essential supplies were successfully turned over at the General Santos Headquarters located at Gerardo Culinary School. These goods are intended to benefit affected brothers, sisters, and communities in General Santos City, Glan, Malapatan, Maasim, Kiamba, and other parts of Sarangani Province.

Representing Beta Phi Chapter during the activity were Sis. Eden Ascano, Brod. Christopher A. Paran, Brod. Danny Magallanes, and Brod. Alden King Alojado, whose dedication and willingness to serve made this mission possible.

After the turnover activity, the team proceeded to Kiamba, Sarangani Province, where we joined fellow brothers and sisters in distributing vegetables, packed relief goods, and other essentials to earthquake victims. We were warmly welcomed by Brod. Mayor Jong Falgui, whose support and hospitality further strengthened the spirit of community and service.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Past SMAR RD Gerry Arbis for his generosity, support, and warm fellowship during the activity.

This project became possible because of the kindness and generosity of many brothers and sisters who answered the call to serve. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Sis. Cynthia Alinio-Perez, Sis. Eden Ascano, Brod. Christopher A. Paran, Sis. Dolly Kitz Claveria, Sis. Luisita May Monje, Sis. Wilma Fortinez Mugas, Sis. Esther Calicdan, Brod. Dante “Bebot” Albenio, Brod. Glenn Dela Victoria, APO Mississauga Alumni Association (APOMAA) Canada through the initiative of Sis. Cynthia Alinio-Perez, Sis. Dina Santos, Brod. Joel Padilla, Atty. Mario Sapilan, and Sis. Marienel Superioridad. Your generosity, trust, and commitment to service brought hope and assistance to those who needed it most.

We also recognize the leadership and support of our officers and chapter leaders, namely Sis. Luisita Monje, Vice President; Raya Manampan, Secretary; Leynet L. Austria, Treasurer; Clerk Moneva, Auditor; Nelson Alabata, Fellowship Chairman; Arvin Alfonso, Chairman of the Board of Trustees; Lando Inguito, Board of Trustee; Atty. Pabres, Board of Trustee; Sonny Manaopanao; and Marvin Parilla, Brod Peter de Jesus and Brod. Arvin Alfonso. Your encouragement and commitment continue to inspire the chapter to remain active and responsive in times of need.

To all our brothers and sisters, volunteers, donors, supporters, and partners, daghang salamat kaayo. Ang inyong pagtabang nagpamatuod nga ang tinuod nga diwa sa APO makita sa panahon sa kalisod. Sa inyong gugma ug pagtinabangay, daghang pamilya ang nakabati nga dili sila nag-inusara sa ilang pagbangon.

Sa atong mga igsoon nga naapektuhan sa linog, padayon lang. Lig-on ang Mindanao. Lig-on ang Pilipino. Ug isip mga APO, magpadayon kita sa pagserbisyo ug pagtinabangay alang sa kaayohan sa atong isigkatawo.

"Tinabangay ta, mga Brod ug Sis. Sa kalisod ug kalipay, magkauban kita. Padayon sa pag-alagad, padayon sa pagtabang, ug padayon sa pagbangon."

Leadership. Friendship. Service.

Last May 30–31, our brothers and sisters proudly rendered their service at Siglo Aid Station 8, alongside fellow brods assigned to different stations during the Siglo Ultramarathon 100KM Season 2.

This meaningful event was organized by our fellow Alpha Phi Omega brother, Race Director Brod Rod Lanorias, bringing together volunteers, athletes, and supporters in a shared commitment to excellence, endurance, and community service.

Through every cup of water handed out, every word of encouragement shared, and every act of support given to the runners, we were reminded of the true spirit of service.

Congratulations to all the staff, volunteers, and runners who made Siglo Ultramarathon Season 2 a remarkable success. We are grateful to have been part of this incredible journey!

MAY WE ALWAYS BE ⚜️

In the true spirit of Leadership, Friendship, and Service, the brothers of Alpha Phi Omega - Beta Phi Chapter came together to conduct a Free Iftar for the community during the holy month of Ramadan.

This small act of sharing meals is our way of spreading compassion, unity, and service to others. Through this initiative, we hope to strengthen community bonds and remind everyone that service to humanity is the best work of life.

Thank you to everyone who supported and participated in making this activity meaningful and successful.

60 years strong! To mark the anniversary of Alpha Phi Omega - Beta Phi Chapter, our Alumni Association and the residents spent the day serving the wonderful children of Lingap Center Tugbok, Davao City.

Happy 60th founding anniversary, Mother chapter ng Dabaw! May this legacy of service continue and our circle remain strong.

On December 21, 1965, the Beta Phi Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega was founded at the University of Mindanao, Bolton Street, Davao City, marking the beginning of a proud legacy grounded in Leadership, Friendship, and Service.

The chapter was founded by:
🔹 Brod. Alexander Advicula – Gamma Chapter

🔹 Brod. Omar Sayoc – Eta Chapter

For six decades, Beta Phi has remained steadfast in its mission, earning its place as the Mother Chapter of Davao City—shaping generations of leaders, servants, and brothers united by a common purpose.

“As-on on the rock. Bag-id to the wounds that never heal and to the egg that has yet to hatch. The more you Bag-id, the more you love it.”

Today, we honor 60 years of unwavering service, brotherhood, and commitment. May the legacy of Beta Phi continue to inspire future generations to serve beyond self.
