Metrilita Dela Cruz, 80 | San Miguel village, Hagonoy municipality
It’s so hard. I hope our world changes, we’re really struggling. For the past six months, we have been unable to use the bottom floor of our house because the floodwater has not disappeared. When the water comes, sometimes at midnight it’s really strong and we try lifting things up. We didn’t expect it because it wasn’t like that before.
