A YEAR after typhoon Tino struck, Cebu Province is now facing over 11 billion pesos in rehabilitation costs. The disaster, which killed 143 people, caused widespread destruction across the region. Local authorities have estimated the total cost of rebuilding infrastructure and restoring communities to exceed 11.174 billion pesos.
The typhoon hit in November 2022, damaging homes, roads, and public facilities. Many areas remain without full access to electricity and clean water. Government officials have called for increased funding and support from national and international agencies.
This is not the first major disaster to affect Cebu. The province has experienced several typhoons in recent years, each requiring significant recovery efforts. The latest crisis highlights the ongoing challenges of climate-related disasters in the region. Officials are now working to secure additional resources to meet the urgent needs of affected communities.
