Flooding in Metro Manila
After two weeks of heavy rain, Metro Manila wakes to find the city virtually submerged in water. Though no storm warnings were issued, unusual rainfall reminiscent of Typhoon Ketsana in 2009, leaves more than 800,000 people stranded, homeless, and without power. Developing countries like the Philippines are considered the most vulnerable and least prepared to face the effects of climate change. Climate experts say that unless decisive solutions are immediately put on the table, the worst is yet to come.
