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.

"Now, it’s just like that, the water is always strong. I hope the leaders, like those corruption cases that were reported, don’t ignore the needs of the people."
