NDRRMC releases P100 million for Cebu Province road repairs
What happened
Cebu Province received P100 million from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council on October 15 to repair local roads damaged by disasters between 2024 and 2026. The funds were released through the Office of the President. The Province is still seeking national assistance, noting that current funding covers only 10 percent of the P5 billion needed for infrastructure recovery following the September 30, 2025 earthquake.
