IHHELPP Director of Philanthropy, Emmie Comer led the turn-over ceremony of the Cebu Restroom Project for Cebu Technological University (CTU), San Remigio Extension Campus in Tambongon, San Remigio, Cebu, May 18, 2019.

The restroom construction started on May 1, 2019 and was spearheaded by Emmie Comer.

​The ceremony was attended by San Remigio Mayor Mariano Martinez, Tambongon Barrio Captain, Roy Mantos, representative ofcer In Charge of CTU administrator, Camilo Argawanon, and guests from Saint George, Utah, Gary Nunley with his wife Digi Nunley, their daughter Demory                Nunley             and 

project coordinator, Liz Tumon. 

​The restroom project will benefit the upcoming students of Cebu Technical University and will give them comfortable facilities and a better school experience.

Each restroom cubicle has its own faucet, bucket, disinfectant spray, a large container of concentrated disinfectant liquid, as well as a toilet brush, toilet plunger, and liquid hand soap are provided for each sink.

Director of Philanthrophy, Emmie Comer also teaches students proper hand hygiene and infection control as well as how to maintain sanitary conditions of restrooms, giving students    the      responsibility       and

 accountability in the cleanliness and maintenance of the restroom.

The bishop from Cebu City was the building contractor who worked as well as overseeing the project with his work team hired from the local village.

Six Latter-day Saint Missionaries assigned in the district volunteered to help.  

“Knowing that one of our organization’s mission is to improve health and the overall lives of Filipinos, I recognized the need for access to a clean and sanitary restroom at CTU, especifically for women,” said Emmie Comer. 

“It is not uncommon to see a line in women’s restroom and it is unheard of to see men lining up to use the restroom.” 

“Something I learned is to never question or doubt an inspiration when you know it is

the right thing,” Emmie Comer added. “I knew from the very 

beginning that our project would make a diference in the lives of the students.”
