The Provincial Development Council (PDC) Executive Committee (Execom) has endorsed for Sangguniang Panlalawigan consideration the investment plan for the Cebu Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Trust Fund Account totaling P518.21 million in proposed expenditures.
In a meeting this afternoon, March 26, 2026, the body, led by Governor Pamela S. Baricuatro, approved the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council’s (PDRRMC) recommendation for the use of the unexpended Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund for 2021 to 2025.
The P518,209,481.14 proposed expenditures cover disaster prevention and mitigation, disaster preparedness, disaster response and early recovery, and recovery and rehabilitation.
In particular, the amount includes spending for rescue equipment and gears, trainings, sea ambulances, mobile kitchens, “emergency land transport assets”, agricultural recovery and rehabilitation, relief goods, supplies, and temporary shelters.
The amount also includes the repair of roads, bridges, buildings and facilities damaged by the September 30, 2025 earthquake and by the November 4, 2025 typhoon Tino, as well as “other recovery and rehabilitation projects and activities”.
Prior to giving its approval, the Execom also reminded PDRRMC, through PDDRM Office Head Dennis Pastor, who was present, that aid and equipment should be pre-positioned for swift response prior to the arrival of typhoons and other predictable disasters. /𝑪𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑻𝑶𝑳 𝑷𝑰𝑶, 𝑷𝑷𝑫𝑶
