Binuangan, located on Manila Bay, is one of the most vulnerable places to the impacts of rising sea levels and intensifying storm surges. Manila risks submersion due to ground subsidence caused by excessive groundwater pumping, rising sea levels caused by global warming, and intensifying storm surges. Therefore, flooding into houses happens every day at high tide time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e4a4fadc8844198b6edb0e/3ab90d6f-c083-4913-994e-f137246c0222/ShuntaKimura_Living+in+the+transition01-388.jpg Works - The Chronicle of Us~Chapter 1 : South-southeast Asia and the Pacific regions~ (ongoing) A girl looks outside the house in the rain in Binuangan Island, Manila, Philippines.
