Indianapolis Colts safety Cam Bynum is preparing to travel to the Philippines to assist with recovery efforts following a recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Bynum, who has Filipino roots through his mother and was married in the Philippines, expressed his commitment to helping the affected communities.
Bynum stated that he will travel to the Philippines as soon as he finishes filming an NFL project. He plans to work with his foundation to assess the needs of the earthquake-stricken areas, noting the lack of power and clean water. He hopes to draw attention to the destruction and the resilience of the Filipino people.
The powerful offshore earthquake, one of the strongest to hit the archipelago in 50 years, struck off the southern province of Sarangani, resulting in at least 37 deaths and displacing tens of thousands of people. Bynum, who grew up in California and played college football at Cal before being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings, is expected to be a key player for the Colts' secondary.
