REBUILDING in San Remigio moves forward through strong collaboration as the Aboitiz Foundation, the local government unit, Republic Cement and Vic Enterprises work together to deliver home recovery assistance to earthquake-affected families.
SMILES and relief fill recipients of a home recovery support from the Aboitiz Foundation and OneAboitiz. The aid consisting of cement, materials and labor assistance — made possible through more than P3.6 million in donations — will help them rebuild their homes damaged by the 6.9-magnitude earthquake.
The Aboitiz Group, through Aboitiz Foundation, has turned over home recovery assistance packages to 225 families in San Remigio, Cebu, to help them in restoring their homes damaged by the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that struck the province last 30 September.
With the packages of cement vouchers, construction materials and cash support, the families can begin repairing or rebuilding their houses based on their needs while ensuring quality through partner-supplier standards.
The Aboitiz Family, whose long-standing commitment to community rebuilding guides the Aboitiz Foundation’s work, was instrumental in making this initiative meaningful and responsive to the needs of affected families. Of the beneficiaries, 168 households with partially damaged homes received P10,000 each, while 57 families whose houses were totally damaged received P30,000 each. This latest assistance forms part of the broader OneAboitiz disaster response following the consecutive crises that hit the country — the earthquake, the succeeding typhoon, and community flooding.
To date, OneAboitiz’s combined support for affected areas has reached over P17 million, benefiting more than 37,000 families across North Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. These efforts include relief and recovery programs for Typhoon “Uwan” in North Luzon, Typhoon “Tino” in the Visayas, and the earthquake impacts in both Cebu and Davao.
During the turnover ceremony in San Remigio on 27 November, Anton Perdices, chief operating officer of AboitizPower Distribution Utilities, emphasized the strength and resilience of the local families. “When the earthquake happened, it wasn’t only your houses that were shaken — it was your sense of safety and peace of mind. Pero karon, as I stand here, I see something far stronger than destruction. I see families who continue to rise. I see San Remigio — buhi, barog, ug nagpadayon. These vouchers are not just materials; they are tools to rebuild hope, dignity and the place you call home,” he said.
Perdices also expressed gratitude to the local government unit led by Mayor Mariano Martinez, along with partners Republic Cement, Vic Enterprises and OneAboitiz volunteers, who have helped amplify stories of courage, unity and community recovery. He further noted that the spirit of bayanihan extended by OneAboitiz — across leadership, employees, and partners — reflects a shared belief that communities rise stronger when support is given with compassion and purpose.
The Aboitiz Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to support not just immediate relief but long-term rehabilitation, stressing that true recovery happens when families begin restoring their homes, livelihoods, and sense of normalcy.
