DESPITE losing homes and livelihoods to the magnitude 6.9 earthquake on September 30, 2025, residents in northern Cebu are showing that kindness endures even in the hardest times.
In the quake-hit towns from Sogod to Daanbantayan, some residents set up small tables and tarpaulins marked with words of gratitude and generosity.
There, they have been offering coconuts, banana cue, bibingka, boiled eggs, and ice candy to motorists, volunteers, and donors passing through their areas.
Some residents in Catmon also offered free champorado to motorists and volunteers who drove to the quake affected towns last weekend.
Others opened their homes and offered the use of their restrooms to those stuck for hours in traffic.
Placards expressing gratitude were also put up along the roadsides. (JJL)
