ZAMBOANGA CITY — Maxim Rides & Food Delivery extended assistance to families affected by a fire in Barangay Tugbungan, Zamboanga City, through a relief operation on November 6.
The company distributed 320 packed meals and 350 bottles of drinking water at Tugbungan Elementary School to provide food and refreshments to affected residents. Barangay Captain Monching Saavedra personally welcomed the Maxim team and expressed his gratitude for the donations.
The fire broke out on November 1, destroying approximately 500 houses in Barangay Tugbungan and leaving many families homeless.
Nine local Maxim driver-partners also helped distribute the relief goods. In recognition of their participation, the company granted them one week of 0% commission support.
“Three of our driver-partners were also affected by the fire, making this incident particularly close to our community. We understand how difficult it is for families to lose their homes and belongings, and we hope our assistance can provide some relief during this challenging time,” said Ahiddan Maldisa, Head of Maxim Zamboanga.
The relief operation reflects Maxim’s continued efforts to support communities, particularly during emergencies. Other recent initiatives include a community clean-up drive in Tagbilaran City, school supply distribution in Lucena City, a blood donation drive in Mabalacat City, and relief assistance and a river clean-up in Olongapo City.
