The two learners are Noralden Mindalano, Grade 5, and Nokhair Mindalano, Grade 3, who are sons of a street vendor, with three more other siblings failing to go to school due to poverty. The family of the siblings all came from Marawi.

A third recipient is Grade 9 student John Lawrence Dinaguit of Nagpayong High School as the police team also went to Nagpayong, Pinagbuhatan. Dinaguit received school supplies, grocery items, vitamins, health kits, and cash assistance.
