“Savings that took years to build disappear in days and retirement nest eggs are used prematurely because no one planned for catastrophic property loss. Loans and credit card bills still have to be paid on time. With emergency purchases post-typhoon, credit card usage is expected to rise.

These are the real economic consequences of disaster in Cebu and it is the private individual who pays the price of systemic failure caused by neglect, incompetence and greed.”

It will be a month this Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025, since typhoon Tino’s floods swept through parts of Cebu. Wounds may have turned to scars and mud cleared from ho

Last Sunday, I lost a loyal follower of this column and a subscriber of The FREEMAN.
