Over the last decade, the province of Cebu, Philippines has emerged as one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change impacts (“Cebu, Philippines” 2018; Matsumoto 2020; Dickella Gamaralalage, Maeda, and Gilby 2020). In 2013, Cebu was victim to super Typhoon Yolanda and the Bohol Earthquake, and more recently in 2021, Cebu was hit by super Typhoon Odette (“Cebu, Philippines” 2018; Mary Rose Sagarino 2022). Given the growing severity of climate-related risks and disasters, as well as the significant role of private sector actors in Cebu’s disaster risk management and reduction, this research seeks to characterize the contribution of private sector actors in the immediate relief operations following the 2021 super Typhoon Odette, specifically within the region’s capital of Cebu City. Over the course of five months, we conducted and analyzed 17 semi-structured interviews with private relief providers in order to identify the risks and benefits of private sector-led climate resiliency within the context of limited public resources. This analysis indicated the primary role that private sector business networks play in facilitating the short-term collection, delivery, and distribution of immediate relief goods to high-risk communities. We identified the necessity for future research regarding the long-term impacts of these immediate relief operations, as well as the integration of aid recipient perspectives to evaluate the effectiveness of these initiatives
