The scale of impact has been severe. Official reports confirm 65 fatalities, 1,447 injuries, and 36 people still missing. More than 57,252 homes were damaged, 10,023 of them completely destroyed, while roads, bridges, schools, healthcare facilities, and public infrastructure sustained extensive damage. Approximately 176,186 families remain affected by electricity outages.
In coordination with local partners and government-supported relief channels, STARTRADER is distributing urgent supplies, including drinking water, food, hygiene kits, medicines, sleeping mats, blankets, and child care essentials. With families displaced, services interrupted, and infrastructure damaged, timely support is critical to helping communities manage immediate needs while long-term recovery continues.
Effective disaster response depends on coordinated effort across communities, public institutions, the private sector, and volunteers. Through this initiative, STARTRADER joins broader relief efforts to help families stabilise their lives and begin the process of rebuilding.
"It is impossible to see the impact of this earthquake without being deeply moved by the challenges families face. Behind every damaged home and school are families determined to rebuild. We stand with them, not only with supplies, but with solidarity and the belief that recovery begins when people come together. We are proud to stand alongside local communities and partners in Sarangani Province."
— Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER
The initiative forms part of STARTRADER's broader CSR commitment under STARCARES, focused on practical, community-based impact across the regions where the company operates. Recently rebranded from STAR Foundation to STARCARES, the organization continues to expand its social impact efforts under the vision "Bringing STAR, Delivering Care," through youth development, education, sports infrastructure, disaster relief, and community support programs across Asia and the Middle East.
As recovery efforts continue, STARTRADER calls on businesses, institutions, and communities to join broader relief efforts and help the families of Sarangani Province rebuild with dignity, stability, and hope.

HONG KONG, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuborg, Carlsberg Asia's flagship international brand, is building on the momentum of its global creative campaign "You Don't Have To," first introduced in March this year. The campaign is now expanding across key Asian markets, including China, Vietnam, and Myanmar.
As Gen Z increasingly values self-expression and individuality, Tuborg continues to evolve its brand to remain culturally relevant and distinctive. In line with Carlsberg Group's ambition to strengthen its global beer portfolio, the brand unveils a refreshed identity—featuring a bold, dynamic design that enhances its energy and modern appeal, while staying true to its iconic heritage.
Rooted in Tuborg's long-standing association with music, creativity, and vibrant social experiences, the campaign positions the brand as a bold and energetic choice for the next generation of beer drinkers.
As part of this strategy, Tuborg has partnered with internationally renowned Korean American artist Jay Park as its new brand ambassador in Asia. A cross-cultural music icon spanning K-pop, hip-hop, and R&B, Jay Park is widely recognised among Gen Z and embodies a deep-rooted connection to music and hip-hop culture. His journey from breaking away from conventional idol pathways to establishing himself as an independent artist and entrepreneur perfectly reflects Tuborg's "You Don't Have To" ethos. His influence across music, fashion, and dance makes him an ideal ambassador to bring the campaign to life.
Beyond his extensive music career and recent tours across Asia, Jay Park's role as a mentor on leading programmes such as Street Dance of China and The Rap of China underscores his cultural impact across the region. His ethos of self-expression and challenging norms aligns seamlessly with Tuborg's DNA, reinforcing the idea that authenticity is key.
As part of the campaign, Tuborg has reimagined its can design to reflect the bold and rebellious creative direction – "new fit, same pop." The new packaging incorporates a progressive design language inspired by dynamic rhythms, while leveling up colour contrast and refining the label. The brand's iconic "Clockman" symbol is highlighted to enhance recognition and consistency—bringing the "You Don't Have To" mindset to life through striking, electro-inspired interpretations of Tuborg's signature green and blue.
In parallel, the bottle format challenges traditional conventions with an enhanced pull-tab opening system, delivering a seamless "open whenever you feel like it" experience. This feature aligns with a more spontaneous lifestyle, reinforcing Tuborg's free-spirited attitude while further elevating product appeal among modern, experience-driven consumers.
Jeff Chong, Director, International Premium Brands, Carlsberg Asia says, "This revamp goes beyond an update to our ambassador or product design—it represents a broader evolution of Tuborg as a brand. As consumer expectations shift from functional benefits to values and cultural relevance, 'You Don't Have To' serves as a powerful extension of our identity. Partnering with Jay Park amplifies Tuborg's bold, optimistic energy and enables us to connect more effectively with today's generation."
The campaign has been rolled out across China, Vietnam and Myanmar through market-specific activations at the intersection of music, fashion, and community. In China, Tuborg amplified the campaign through KOL engagement and UGC-driven formats—encouraging audiences to express "You Don't Have To" in their own way. In Vietnam, high-energy TikTok challenges and freestyle-led content empowered bold, personal interpretations of the brand message.
Across markets, tailored execution, immersive experiences, and socially led storytelling work in tandem with KOLs and consumer UGC to drive authentic engagement and organic amplification.
