Tabaco City and the Department of Social Welfare and Development are stepping up assistance for people displaced by unrest at Mayon, the Philippine Information Agency reported on Monday, November 9, 2026. The national agency did not specify in its headline the forms of aid involved.
The aid effort comes as evacuees in Tabaco City contend with a water shortage, according to Inquirer.net. The Philippine Information Agency also reported separately that Albay province is ready to assist families displaced by the volcano's unrest.
Other groups have joined the response. GMA Kapuso Foundation said 4,000 Albay residents affected by the unrest received aid, GMA Network reported. Separately, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office's Albay office received ChariTimba food packs on Monday, according to a Facebook post. The buckets were described as containing rice, coffee, canned goods, milk, ready-to-eat meals and other essentials for affected families.
The reports point to a relief operation drawing on both local government and national agencies, alongside private and charitable donors, with water access emerging as a particular concern at evacuation sites in Tabaco City.
Watch for further updates from the Philippine Information Agency and local officials on water supply at evacuation centers and on how long displacement is expected to last.
