The Cebu People's Action Center (CPAC), a flagship frontline service initiative of the provincial government under Governor Pamela Baricuatro, reported delivering extensive on-the-ground assistance across Cebu in 2025.
According to CPAC's year-end report, the center recorded a total of 1,310 assistance cases delivered throughout the year, covering medical, social, burial, and emergency needs in various parts of the province.
The report showed that CPAC served as a critical response hub during times of crisis, providing 223 medical assistance cases and 289 burial assistance cases to indigent families seeking immediate help from the provincial government.
One of the largest components of CPAC's operations involved food and relief distribution. The center reported that 300,874 hot meals were served across the province, particularly after the earthquake and Typhoon Tino.
