nature takes back

Nature has a way of claiming back what it owns. And when it does, it lashes with such ferocity that even the dead are stunned!
For over four months now, Tago is experiencing inclement weather. Okay, there's nothing shocking about this, ours being a province with two seasons---the wet and the very wet! But even that has already changed; Surigao del Sur has gone from wet and very wet to "weather-you-like-it-or-not".
And so in Tago, everybody is saying hello to climate change!
River swells at the slightest drop of rain, and the wave grows to frightening proportion at the mere whistle of winds. And when this happens, Tagon-ons troop to Baybay.
And this is how we learned that the waves have eroded a great portion of the shore, crashing dikes and dragging along with them houses of the living and the dead!
