SM City Valenzuela led one of the large-scale relief operations, reaching 500 families across flood-prone barangays, including Rincon, Pasolo, Caloong, Mabolo, Bisig, Tagalag, Bakangkas, Wawang Pulo, Polo, Palasan, and Arkong Bato. Valenzuela City Mayor Wes Gatchalian was present during the relief operations, reinforcing a strong public-private partnership that enabled swift distribution of Kalinga packs.
In the heavily inundated districts of Caloocan, SM Center Sangandaan took a more personalized approach by conducting door-to-door relief distribution in Barangays 2 and 4, areas where many elderly residents and vulnerable households were unable to leave their homes. A total of 300 packs were distributed in close coordination with local rescue teams and barangay officials.
