Typhoon Rai “Odette” has ravaged the entire Central & Southern Cebu destroying houses and business establishments, leaving the area WITHOUT ELECTRICITY, weak to NO CONNECTIVITY and SHORT ON WATER SUPPLY. Cebu BADLY NEEDS all the help that we can to provide immediate relief to the millions of people who are currently suffering and to eventually rebuild and recover from the devastating impact of the strongest typhoon it has ever encountered!
CEBU NEEDS HELP!
