A fire in the afternoon of March 14 in Barangay Sapangdaku in Cebu City, which burned 60 homes, forced 150 people to flee their homes. “Mr. Abegael Ladrazo, the eldest son of the present Brgy. Captain, shared— “On March 18, 2023, Rise Above Foundation Cebu personally visited the area to help the fire victims. They held a feeding program on-site, feeding hundreds of kids, the elderly, and other residents. To my surprise, 5 kilograms of rice was also distributed.”
