Halfway across the world, Dana White extends help to the victims of the recent calamity in the Philippines.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship president pledged Ten Thousand Dollars (Php 505,200.00) through the Manny Pacquiao Foundation earlier today to aid the people affected by a series earthquake in Mindanao.

Three earthquakes took place just last month. Magnitudes 6.3, 6.6 and 6.5 devastated areas much of the country’s southern region, particularly in North Cotabato and Davao del Sur areas.

Responding to the Foundation’s tweet looking for support, White immediately responded and urged his followers to do the same.

“I’m in for $10K @mannypacquiao everyone please help if you can. [sic]” White wrote in his Instagram account.

White and the UFC have established connections with the Philippine fight community by hosting in the country in the past. Back in 2015, the first-ever UFC Fight Night took place which headlined by Urijah Faber and Frankie Edgar. They’ve also sent several fighters to visit the country which includes the likes of Georges St. Pierre, Donald Cerrone, Stephen Thompson, and Filipino – American John Dodson.
