Welcome to the Justice for Cebu Movement Resource Page

Mga Sugbuanon,

In light of Typhoon Tino and the worsening floods affecting our communities, we are opening a public resource page dedicated to informing, empowering, and mobilizing every Cebuano who wants to be part of the solution.

This page is created so that every citizen—whether you live in the uplands, lowlands, coastal barangays, or the city center—can access clear, credible, and powerful information about why Cebu floods, and what we can do together to fix it.

This is your space.
This is your movement.
This is your future.

We invite you to visit the page, learn from the materials, and take your place in the growing Justice for Cebu Movement.
