Filipina

My Town

Obando, Bulacan, viewed from 4.21 km and barely 5 m above sea level. Our famous town, that played a pivotal role in Dr Jose Rizal’s first novel that propelled Philippine revolution to freedom is sinking. My town, once so beautiful, now vanishing.

And with every piece of land lost to sea, is memory, lives, love, and, history. My town, my memory, my life.

Below are some pictures featuring landmarks and might of the sea:

Water, water everywhere. Our own waterworld.
