Both the rich and the poor here in my town had been submerged in the flood this time around and to some, their first time experiencing it.

My father had removed most of the water inside the house to prevent it from getting smelly as the level goes down and I hope that it will continue to dry-up as soon as possible although in the back of my mind there is still uncertainty about this widespread freak flood.

There is still a level of uncertainty when the floods would go away completely and it all depends on the weather system where the Typhoon that comes quite more often during these times of the year are frequent. It is because even if the Typhoon is relatively mild, it will still pull the monsoon rains which is coming from the warm clouds from southwest and then precipitates as heavy rains when it cools down here in the general location of my country. Unfortunately we are located inside the typhoon path which is why this calamities will continue to go on and might probably get worse before a very lasting solution will take place and it requires big companies to cooperate and that is a big problem if their income is to be compromised because big businesses are making products that consumes fossil fuels.

The global use of fossil fuels is to blame for the extreme weather conditions that we are suffering today and it needs global will-power in order to solve this problem that had gotten out of hand already because it is kept on being ignored by the leaders because of their lack of love to their citizens and the world.

Right now we are experiencing just that and nothing that we can do about it but for nations to unite and come to make a positive action for long-term just like we did as humanity about the problem with the ozone layer which is now solved thanks for the cooperation of big manufacturers or businesses that makes CFC gasses to stop manufacturing it. Now we are not hearing about the ozone layer anymore because humanity had come together to solve it long-term and we are in that final term where the depletion of the ozone layer is a thing of the past now.

The destruction of earth's ozone layer had been halted due to the cooperation of big businesses in stopping the manufacturing CFC gasses which is the main culprit of depleting it and thus saving many people from getting skin cancer.

The same long-term solution should be done now for our general weather conditions to return to normal if not improve it partially. But the continuous use of fossil fuel will not go away anytime soon and that is a big problem because for me, to solve the problem was to cut the source of the problem which is not to use carbon dioxide-producing machines and alike and replace them with a greener energy. However, it has a price to pay and it is not that easy because for one thing we are talking about gas producers losing money as well as manufacturing industries, etc. that uses fossil fuels to make their businesses move will not be happy as their source of income will get affected and thus will influence the politicians to side with them for a threat of losing support when campaign period begins.

Politicians themselves are to blame for not having the will-power to make positive and long-lasting changes about our climate change because they have more interest for big business which conflicts what the general population and the environment than the people which they supposed to be serving along with people of the world.

It is too bad for the world now where big countries are involved in the "revolving door" phenomenon about politicians and big businesses where after a politicians term of office they are hired as one of the leaders into these big businesses. When these politicians are ready for campaigning again, they can easily get voted because of the support of big businesses. As we can see, they do not have a conflict of interest because they are essentially one and will only serve the interest of each other and not the interest of the people and their needs. We can see the result about the foods in the shelves, using chemicals that have a long-term effect about the health of the people. These said chemicals are allowed because the politicians allowed it.

A revolving door effect means that politicians can incorporate themselves in the private sector businesses after their term in which their conflict of interest shows their support for big businesses rather than the general need of the citizens. Because if this, the people will suffer and both politicians and the private sector wins.

In my village where I live, the flood would almost rapidly go down for as long as there will be no more rains to fall because otherwise it will come right back again if not to go up slowly until it reaches an inch up to the baseboard of the wall. At that point it is harder to move around because of an added drag to the legs when you try to walk using boots. The weight of the boots also is a factor too in making it difficult to walk around. I told my parents to use boots all the time to make them safe from slipping from now slippery floor due to the dirty water which breached the wood barrier of our main door. We are sill lucky that we are just experiencing a lower flood level compared to other affected areas of our baranggay /Barrio.

It gets so dangerous for my parents to walk to the slippery flooring which is my main concern during these times of widespread flooding.

The question is, do I still wanting to live here? but the answer is both yes and no because if I will say yes, then where I will go? But if I wanted to stay, all that I can do is to build and taller house with a high flooring and then own a car like what I said in my previous post, which have a high clearance from the ground. But both of these things are very difficult to do as they require so much money in order to make them come true. So my hope is to really, for cryptocurrency markets to boom again so that I can fill this need because using cryptocurrencies are the only thing that I am depending on for the reason of my disability which for now still remains a disability although I had much improvement already but not too much to make me feel normal and move around like normal people do.

Nowhere to go and no funds to do it nor stay and build a safer house, I am basically trapped in this situation but maybe some better difference will get to happen soon and I am already thanking God for that.

Sort:  

Que mal que estés pasando por esto de la inundación, es terrible cuando la naturaleza ataca no se detiene ver ni a ricos ni a pobres solo hace su naturaleza, pero los seres humanos tenemos parte de culpa por la contaminacion que hace que la naturaleza cada ves sea más terrible. Espero que pronto puedan solucionar lo de la inundación.

Es una situación desesperada si se restringen los desplazamientos a causa de la gran inundación, especialmente para mí, que sólo cuento con vehículos que me lleven y me traigan del hospital de diálisis.

La diálisis también se ha interrumpido porque el suelo también ha quedado sumergido, y aún no sé cuándo se reanudarán las operaciones.

Cuanto lo siento amigo que estés pasando por eso y si es desesperante para ti porque tienes que ir a diálisis y debido a la inundación las suspendieron, espero que todo esto pase pronto para que puedas ir al hospital.
