Feli Albania | Bulusan village, Calumpit municipality

I am a widow and a grandmother. I take care of my grandchildren. That is my only job. This frequent flooding is hard. It’s been like this for a few days now. It’s hard when all the stuff is floating. I really had a hard time. Sometimes it goes up and down, then rises again. It looks like it’s growing again. It’s getting harder.

A woman with a pink shawl stands outside her house in raised waters, with pot plants on the porch.

"The water is rising. Because of the frequent rain and storms, right? We’re behind that river, so all the water from the country passes here on the way to the sea. We’re really used to that water every year."
