In response to the Cebu Provincial Government’s call for urgent relief, particularly for areas struggling with limited access to safe water, MDW deployed a water lorry, 220 carboys, and various relief goods for temporary shelters. The initiative was carried out in coordination with the Dumaguete City Water District and the Negros Oriental Water Districts Association.

“Metro Dumaguete Water is sending its support to our neighbors in Cebu through our water lorry and in-kind donations. Water is very important during this phase of immediate recovery. In these difficult times, the power of community is truly important,” Engr. Robert Cabiles, Chief Operating Officer, said.

The MDW water lorry has been deployed to far-flung barangays that have been without water since the disaster. It will continue its rounds in San Remigio and Bogo to help augment the local water supply.

Cabiles added that MDW remains ready to provide additional assistance depending on the immediate needs of affected communities. To date, the total value of MDW’s assistance has reached ₱100,000.
