July 19, 2025

Heavy rainfall and flooding in the past few days have prompted disaster officials in Cebu City to declare a state of calamity to effectively assist residents displaced by the bad weather.

- By IRIS HAZEL MASCARDO / THE FREEMAN

The decision was made during an emergency meeting yesterday of the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, which was presided over by CDRRMC chairman Dave Tumulak and attended by Mayor Nestor Archival Sr.

The meeting was called following Wednesday's heavy downpour that stranded commuters, snarled traffic and prompted officials to suspend classes.
