ダバオ市議会は、地震の被害が大きいダバオデルスル州と北コタバト州の被災者に対し、420万ペソの財政支援を実施することを承認した。支援金の初期案は320万ペソであり、大幅に増額されたといえる。
市災害リスク軽減管理事務所（City Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Office 以下CDRRMO）のAlfredo Baloran氏は、特別議会の開催を要請し、さらに財政支援の増額の承認を取り付けたという。また同氏は、財政支援を行う自治体をすでに決定していると述べた。
支援金の金額は、地方自治体法に基づき、各自治体の損害報告書から算出される。震源に近い自治体では多くの市民が深刻な被害を受けたことから、財政支援以外の継続的な支援を考える必要があるだろう。

Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first.
