Alibyo Cebu Ayuda Network, in partnership with the Cebu Archdiocesan Social Advocacies (CASA) of the Archdiocese of Cebu, successfully held a community event on December 16 at St. John Bosco Parish in Liloan, Cebu.
With the theme "PAG-AMUMA: An Encounter with Individuals Affected by the Massive Flooding Caused by Typhoon Tino," the event began with a psychosocial session led by Bro. Paul Bongcaras, SVD, providing emotional and mental support for those affected. This was followed by a Eucharistic Mass presided over by Rev. Fr. Dave Christopher Y. Cantillas, Chairman of the Commission on Youth of the Archdiocese of Cebu.
The activity concluded with a situationer of the communities assisted by Alibyo Cebu, offering an in-depth look at the current state of recovery in the aftermath of Typhoon Tino. Many of these communities are still grappling with the destruction caused by the typhoon, with families living in temporary shelters, basic services still disrupted, and infrastructure yet to be fully restored. Despite relief efforts, the road to recovery remains long and difficult, and the needs of the people continue to grow.
As part of the initiative, participants were provided with lunch and relief packs, offering some immediate relief to the families who are still struggling day-to-day.
Alibyo Cebu, together with its member organizations, remains committed to standing in solidarity with the survivors and affected communities as they continue their journey toward full recovery. We continue to call for justice and accountability from the government to ensure that no one is left behind in the recovery process.
