Philippine Island Sinks as Sea Levels Rise, Residents Left in Limbo | Planet Pulse | N18G
Pugad Island in Bulacan faces daily flooding as rising seas and rapid land subsidence—nearly 11 cm a year—threaten its 2,500 residents. Once-thriving homes now sit on stilts, schools follow tide charts, and roads vanish under water. Overextraction of groundwater and global sea level rise, accelerating three times faster in the Philippines, have turned the community into a climate front line. Locals cling to livelihoods, but fear grows. With national action years away and global climate funds delayed, Pugad’s people are left to battle the tides—alone. Their future hinges on urgent, global climate action.
