A photo made available on 14 March 2016 shows a Thai villager takes selfie photograph on drought parched land at the dried up Mae Chang reservoir in Lampang province, northern Thailand, 12 March 2016. The ruined village including ancient temple had been underwater for 34 years since the Mae Chang reservoir was built in 1982, the area has now re-emerged after water in the reservoir dried up caused by the severe drought. Thailand is facing the worst drought in decades hardest hit by El Nino phenomenon combined with seasonal hot weather. (Photo by Rungroj Yongrit/EPA)

A picture made available on 30 March 2016 shows Thai Buddhist monks view an almost dried up Mae Chang reservoir in Lampang province, northern Thailand, 12 March 2016. Thailand is facing water shortage caused by the worst drought in decades due to El Nino phenomenon combined with seasonal hot weather which have critically hit water storage as the water levels in the country's biggest dams are lower than 10 percent. Other major reservoirs are below 50 percent of their water capacity. The drought, which currently has affected agriculture across country, has taken Thailand's economy growth down by 0.6 to 0.85 percent. (Photo by Rungroj Yongrit/EPA)

A photo made available on 06 April 2016 shows a Myanmar migrant laborer carrying a basket of salt to load into a truck after the harvest at a salt farm in Samut Sakhon province, Thailand, 05 April 2016. Most salt used in Thailand comes from brine salt farms, and the country's biggest producers of brine salt are located in Samut Sakhon province. The salt fields are harvested in many coastal provinces by pumping sea water into the fields, then letting the water evaporate in the sunlight. Thailand produces more than 1 million tons of salt each year and it is expected that the current drought will bring a longer salt harvest season. (Photo by Rungroj Yongrit/EPA)

Based on reports, 85 percent of the whole Philippines will experience the effects of the drought and around 12 million Filipinos who rely on agriculture will directly be affected. In southern Philippines, where farmers lacked agricultural infrastructures and farming subsidies, the population faced impending hunger during the drought and two demonstrators were left dead and dozens of people injured after police dispersed thousands of drought-hit farmers in early April.
