Karen Tidalgo, 23, dresses her one-month-old daughter at an evacuation center in Matina, Davao City. Her family evacuated from their home in Matina Gravahan on the night of December 22, 2017 when a nearby river bursted its banks, affecting thousands of households.
“Unsaon namo pag-uli nga naa pa may gyera didto sa amoa?(How are we going home when there’s still a war going on there?)” said Jocely Andaliki “At least diri, safety among paminaw, di pareha didto sa amoa nga giabog mi mismo sa among gobernor, (Here, we feel safe, not like there where our governor drove us out).”
