2013年10月,菲律宾保和省发生了7.2级地震,其一些小岛社区陷落了约100万土地。现在,图比贡市的Batasan,Pangapasan,Ubay和Bilangbilangan群岛即使在春季大潮时也遭受了部分或全部洪水。与一百年来海平面上升面对面时,这些岛屿社区显示出它们比我们想象的要坚强得多。

In October 2013, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck the province of Bohol, Philippines, inducing about 1m land subsidence to some of its small island communities. Now, the islands of Batasan, Pangapasan, Ubay and Bilangbilangan of the Municipality of Tubigon experience partial or complete flooding even during normal spring tides. Coming face-to-face with a hundred years’ worth of sea level rise, the island communities show that they are far more resilient than we think.

艾格尼丝老师担心Bilangbilangan小学的学生的学习环境和安全性,她也是该校的校长。潮水淹没了学生,使他们无法上课,将人为的浪费和高潮带入教室。艾格尼丝老师梦elevated以求地上教室,以减少潮水对儿童教育的影响。

白天的洪水发生在西南季风期间,从四月到九月,与大多数学年相吻合。因此,每次潮水泛滥时,都不能简单地取消课程,因为学生随后将难以完成所需的学习日数。取而代之的是,仅在台风或强季风和高潮同时发生时才取消课程。作为交换,学校有时在周末举行化妆课。

Teacher Agnes worries about the learning environment and safety of the students of Bilangbilangan Elementary School, where she is also serving as school head. Tidal floods distract students from their lessons, bringing human waste and high waves into the classroom. Teacher Agnes dreams for classrooms to be elevated to reduce the impact of tidal floods on the children’s education.
Daytime flooding occurs during the southwest monsoon, which runs from April to September, and coincides with most of the school year. Thus, classes cannot simply be cancelled every time there is tidal flooding, as the students would then have a difficult time completing the required number of school days. Instead, classes are only cancelled whenever typhoons or strong monsoon winds occur together with high tides. In exchange, the school sometimes holds make-up classes in the weekends.
