Greenpeace activists together with survivors of climate disasters carry banners during a protest beside the Marikina River flood level marker. The groups called on the government to stand for climate justice, ahead of the May 2022 national elections and after the #LetTheEarthBreathe movement made rounds online.

Marikina is one of the hardest hit cities in the metro during typhoon season in the Philippines, where calamities have worsened resulting in heavy rains and severe flooding in various parts of the country.
