December 16, 2021 — the night we will never forget. The devastating wrath of Typhoon Odette cost a lot of damages in Metro Cebu that even until now, or 10 days after it hit the island, at least 50% of the households still do not have electricity and mobile signal, and many people are still struggling to get drinking water. (This link will show how badly Typhoon Odette damaged the island.)
For working individuals, it’s still a struggle to find a place with electricity, fast and stable internet, and water. That’s why we have come up with this list of co-working spaces where you can continue making a living and help rebuild our lives.
