Cebu earthquake damage to national infrastructure nears P1.9 billion

The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) estimates that damage to national infrastructure in Cebu due to the recent earthquake has reached nearly P1.9 billion.

This figure, however, does not encompass the losses incurred by private properties, as assessments for those are still ongoing.

A total of 773 infrastructure units were reported damaged by the NDRRMC, although the specific breakdown between government and private properties is not yet available.

The earthquake also affected nearly 80,000 homes, with over 5,000 completely destroyed and the majority partially damaged.

Infrastructure damage includes eight roads and 20 bridges, with several still impassable, hindering relief efforts.

The confirmed death toll has risen to 75, with over 500 individuals injured.
