Replacing broken hinge onto laminate

I was asked by a friend to look at one of their kitchen cabinet doors. One of hinges broke (the metal hinge broke off). As a result the second hinge screws holding the hinge to the back side of the cabinet facing tore out. Replacing the broken hinge is not a problem. It's the hinge that tore out from the back side of the facing that is the problem.

Is there away to repair the tear out (screw mounting holes, so I can remount the hinge in the same location or do I just relocate the hinge away from that spot and drill new pilot holes for the mounting screws?

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Dale
