The worst flood in decades has just hit Iloilo. More than 80% of the Iloilo City was affected and a large portion of Iloilo Province was devastated, damaging homes, agriculture, livestock and infrastructure. The widespread flash floods was caused by the large volume of rainfall from Typhoon Frank and to an extent environmental changes in the uplands and lowlands: global warming, deforestation, urban development.

The flooding in the city was strong enough to drift away vehicles ranging from motorcycles to 4×4s. The photo shows a tricycle perched atop a car in Jaro District. Photo by Ashley Dagdag
