N2 - The disaster-prone Philippine archipelago is a major sender of migrants worldwide.Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the Philippines and Denmark, this article investi-gates how individual migrants channelled relief to their neighbourhoods of originafter the Bohol earthquake of 2013. I argue that such individual relief channels bothcomplement and conflict with official disaster responses because they form part oflocal collective coping mechanisms in a way that contradict equity as a principle ofdistributive justice, and, on the level of practical implementation, poses challengesto aspirations to distribute relief equally. Drawing attention to the practice ofexcluding the migrants’ households of origin from receiving targeted aid, the articlesuggests that disaster management should reconsider how remittances flow in disasters.
