McDonald’s Philippines assured the public that all its crew, managers, and customers in Cebu are safe following the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that struck the province on September 30, 2025.
In an official statement released Wednesday, October 1, the company said all its Cebu stores have undergone safety inspections. McDonald’s Bogo sustained major damage and remains closed, while four other branches—JY Square, North Reclamation, Carcar, and Jones—were temporarily closed due to minor repairs and limited staff availability.
As of 1:00 p.m., McDonald’s confirmed that JY Square, North Reclamation, and Jones branches have reopened, while all other stores in Cebu continue to operate normally. The Il Corso store also resumed operations after checks, contrary to initial reports that it was damaged.
The company emphasized its commitment to employee welfare, noting that it is closely coordinating with its crew and their families to ensure their well-being.
In partnership with local government units, McDonald’s has also begun distributing hot meals to frontliners and affected communities. Those who wish to support the initiative may donate meals through the Ronald McDonald House Charities website at www.rmhc.org.ph/donate
