On Oct. 14, Oceana Gold in partnership with the Provincial and Municipal Health Offices of the province of Itogon, Benguet started a medical mission. This was an excellent move since most of the help received by the victims did not include medicine.

The Bua Training Center at Itogon, Benguet is the site of an evacuation center for the victims of the big landslide at Luneta Hill and surrounding areas within the Municipality of Itogon, Benguet. The total number of families affected by the landslide was 88. About 69 families lost their homes and their source of livelihood. Most of these families were formerly employed by the mining company that operated in Itogon. Most of these are still engaged in small scale mining activities.

In total, 236 patients were attended to through laboratory tests and distribution of vitamins to children.
