OneAboitiz Brings Hope to Liloan this Christmas

Liloan, Cebu — This Christmas season, the Aboitiz Foundation, through OneAboitiz, is bringing renewed hope to families in the Municipality of Liloan, Cebu, one of the communities affected by Typhoon Tino, by providing home recovery assistance to 285 families whose houses were totally damaged by the disaster.

Aboitiz Foundation provides home recovery assistance to 285 families in Liloan, Cebu, whose homes were totally damaged by Typhoon Tino, helping them begin rebuilding this Christmas season.

Each family received ₱30,000 in assistance to help them begin rebuilding their homes, bringing the total support for Liloan to ₱8.5 million.

Anton Perdices, Chief Operating Officer of AboitizPower Distribution Utilities, shared that the Christmas season is a time for unity and compassion, especially for communities recovering from hardship.

“The flash floods brought by Typhoon Tino caused fear, loss, and uncertainty for many families. Dili lalim ang inyong naagian. Through this support, we want every family to know that you are not alone,” Perdices said.

The Home Recovery Assistance Program provides practical support to help families rebuild safer homes. The assistance includes cement and construction materials vouchers, as well as cash support for labor.

This effort in Liloan follows the turnover of home recovery assistance last November to 225 families in San Remigio, Cebu, whose homes were damaged by the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that struck the province in September.

Perdices emphasized that the initiative goes beyond rebuilding houses.

Each of the 285 Typhoon Tino-affected families in Liloan received ₱30,000 in home recovery assistance, bringing the total support for the municipality to ₱8.5 million.

“Seeing families smile again—especially during the Christmas season—reminds us that this work is also about restoring hope, dignity, and confidence as communities move forward together,” he said.

The initiative was made possible through the collaboration of the Aboitiz Foundation, UnionBank, Republic Cement, Vic Enterprises, local government units, and volunteers, reflecting the spirit of bayanihan—where businesses, government, and communities come together in times of need.

The Liloan assistance forms part of the broader OneAboitiz disaster response, which has reached more than 63,000 families nationwide, with over ₱28.8 million in total relief and recovery support. Led by the Aboitiz Foundation, these efforts cover earthquake recovery in Cebu and Davao, typhoon response in the Visayas, and flood and storm relief in Northern Luzon—demonstrating OneAboitiz’s commitment to supporting communities from immediate relief to long-term recovery.

Continuing Aboitiz Foundation’s support for communities following recent earthquake response

Aboitiz Foundation, together with the Aboitiz business units under the OneAboitiz initiative, has mobilized relief and recovery operations for communities affected by Typhoon Tino across Cebu and other parts of Visayas and Mindanao. The coordinated effort builds on the Foundation’s continuing commitment to help families still recovering from the impact of the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that struck Cebu last September.

In partnership with local government units and the Aboitiz business units — including Aboitiz InfraCapital Water, Visayan Electric, AboitizPower Transition Business Group, Aboitiz Renewables Inc., Aboitiz Land, Aboitiz Economic Estates (Cebu), Aboitiz Foods and Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz— Aboitiz Foundation has distributed over 7,200 food packs and non-food items, and 158,000 liters of water. The total value of assistance has reached over P3 million, benefiting over 12,500 families across affected communities in Cebu, Bohol, Negros Occidental, Iloilo, and Dinagat Islands. “Our collective action shows what OneAboitiz is all about — standing together for our people and our communities,” said Sabin M. Aboitiz, Chairman of the Aboitiz Foundation. “These floods remind us that while we can’t control nature, we can control how we respond — with compassion, courage, and care. Let’s look out for one another, not just today but through the recovery that follows.”

Relief distributions began on November 5 and continue this week, with support extending to areas such as Cebu City, Mandaue, Liloan, Toledo, Talisay, and Balamban, among others. Aboitiz InfraCapital Water provided potable water to the affected communities while AboitizPower distribution utilities– including Visayan Electric, Davao Light and Cotabato Light teams– are actively restoring power lines.

Aboitiz Foundation continues to coordinate with local government units and other partners to ensure timely aid delivery and recovery support in the coming weeks.

Over 9000 families in Cebu have received vital assistance from the Aboitiz Group following the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that struck the province last week — a testament to Aboitiz’s strong culture of compassion and collaboration in action.

As of October 7, Aboitiz Group has distributed over P2.7 million worth of assistance, including 93,681 liters of water, 3,815 food packs and 2,115 non-food items to the affected communities.

Demonstrating the spirit of bayanihan, employees from various Aboitiz Group business units in Cebu volunteered to pack and distribute relief goods for earthquake victims

Over 300 employees from various business units of the Aboitiz Group volunteered to pack relief goods at ACO Banilad and other designated locations. Even if many of them were personally affected by the earthquake, the employees continued to serve with dedication, working in shifts to sort, pack and load supplies onto trucks, and coordinating with local communities to ensure the orderly distribution of aid.

Aboitiz Group President and CEO Sabin Aboitiz expressed deep appreciation to employees who exemplified service and solidarity during a time of crisis.

Your actions reflect the best of who we are as OneAboitiz—people who care, who act,

and who stand together when it matters most,= he said, thanking the volunteers for their

selflessness, resilience, and commitment to the communities.

The volunteers from Aboitiz Group represented various business units, including Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Aboitiz Foundation, AboitizPower, Visayan Electric, UnionBank, CitySavings, AboitizFoods, Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines (CCEAP), Aboitiz InfraCapital and its subsidiaries, Unity Digital Infrastructure, AboitizLand, Aboitiz Economic Estates, and Aboitiz Construction.

Aboitiz Group also worked in close collaboration with the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc., Philippine Red Cross Cebu Chapter, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce & Industry 3 Lapu-Lapu City to ensure that relief reached communities in need swiftly.

On the ground, AboitizLand volunteers distributed aid to over 1,200 families in Sitios Paradise and Tawagan, Purok Baybay, and Tondo, all in Barangay Poblacion, Medellin, while CitySavings provided family packs to support 100 teachers affected by the earthquake in Bogo City, Cebu.

Last week, AboitizPower announced the restoration of one Therma Visayas Inc. generating unit following safety inspections. Since then, both Units 1 and 2 are now online and supplying power to the Visayas grid after completing the required safety and structural inspections.

Clean drinking water, one of the most urgent needs after the Cebu earthquake, was among the essential supplies delivered by Aboitiz Group to the affected communities.

Unit 2 resumed operations on October 2 at 3:51 AM, while Unit 1 synchronized to the grid on October 4 at 11:00 PM4one day ahead of its projected return-to-service (RTS) schedule. With both units fully operational, the plant is helping stabilize the Visayas grid, ensuring a more reliable power supply for communities and businesses.

Beyond immediate relief, Aboitiz Foundation continues to work closely with government partners to support long-term recovery. The Foundation emphasized that the true strength of the organization lies in its people—those who choose to serve even when they themselves are in need. It reaffirmed its commitment to helping Cebu rebuild, with compassion that endures and partnerships that empower communities to recover stronger than before.

Through this shared effort, the Aboitiz Group reaffirms its commitment to advancing business and uplifting communities — guided by compassion, strengthened by unity, and inspired by the Filipino spirit of caring for one another.
