Cebu City estimates Odette damage at P1.7B

Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama estimates Typhoon Odette caused P1.7 billion in damage to the city.

Rama says Cebu City has P1 billion available for recovery efforts but needs additional aid from the national government.

The mayor assured residents that funds are available and emphasized the need for more assistance due to ongoing challenges such as lack of electricity, water shortages, and long queues at gas stations.
