CALUMPIT, Bulacan, Philippines — Residents of two villages in this town have been dealing with floodwater inundating their homes all year round that showed no sign of receding even during the summer months. The three days of intermittent strong rains last week only deepened the almost 2-meter deep floodwaters that have been inconveniencing about 1,000 residents in four sitios (subvillages) in Barangays (villages) Meysulao and San Miguel for years now. Alberto Oraa, 68, from Sitio Nabong in Barangay Meysulao, had to buy a boat to bring to school his 18-year-old senior high school daughter Althea and ferry her home every day, as their house is submerged in an almost 2-m deep flood for about six years now.
