The group has launched a petition calling for stronger floodwater management measures, citing the significant loss of lives and extensive property damage caused by the disaster.

"While the heavy rainfall brought about by Typhoon Tino was a natural trigger, we are convinced that the disaster's severity was exacerbated by the lack of political will, wrong engineering, and criminal neglect of established technical studies that have long identified the effects of uncontrolled urbanization and their solutions in Cebu," read part of the petition presented to Cebu Governor Pamela Baricuatro.
