Why Bayanihan
BayanihanThe Filipino tradition of neighbors coming together to help one another, pictured as a whole village carrying a family's house on their shoulders to its new home. is the spirit of a community carrying each other through hard times. When the Waters Rise is about why the Philippines keeps flooding and what people here in the Bay Area can do. Helping the families still recovering from these typhoons is one thing we can do right now.
- Typhoon Tino swept across the Visayas and central Philippines. NAFCON reports 224 lives lost and 109 people missing.
- Super Typhoon Uwan forced the evacuation of over a million people, and its floods damaged homes, livelihoods and farmland.
