MANILA, Philippines – Residents in the town of San Miguel, Bulacan are no stranger to floods, but some of them said they may have just experienced the worst of its kind after Super Typhoon Karding hit Central Luzon on Sunday, September 25.
On Monday, September 26, floodwaters had yet to subside, so residents who were worried about the homes they left behind kept going back-and-forth the inundated streets to salvage personal belongings while they still can.
