A TOTAL of 285 affected families from Barangay Cotcot in Liloan, Cebu who were affected during the onslaught of Typhoon “Tino” received home recovery assistance from the Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. on Thursday, Dec 18, 2025.
The P8.5 million assistance package includes construction materials, cement, and cash-for-labor support aimed at helping residents rebuild homes that were damaged in the typhoon’s aftermath.
Beneficiaries are set to receive P30,000 cash assistance in total, a breakdown of P12,000 for construction materials, P12,000 for cement, and P6,000 for labor.
Each beneficiary received envelopes containing order papers, and following consolidation, the construction materials and cement are scheduled for delivery after Christmas this year.
Rebuilding homes
Liloan City Mayor Aljew Frasco and Anton Perdices, Chief Operating Officer for Distribution Utilities at Aboitiz Power, expressed their commitment to supporting Liloan, assuring residents that they are not alone in their efforts.
