William Gregorio and his son Yamry pose for a portrait where their ancestral home used to stand, now submerged in seawater amid rising tides on August 12, 2025 in Pugad Island, Hagonoy, Philippines. In the Philippines’ coastal communities, the water has been rising for years—a slow, relentless encroachment fueled by melting ice sheets in Antarctica, the sinking of land from decades of unchecked groundwater extraction, and the swelling seas of a warming planet. But residents say the sharpest surge came with large-scale reclamation and other man-made coastal developments, which have altered currents and forced the tide farther inland. Now, even the gentlest tide can unleash deep floods, drowning streets and homes in minutes, a daily reminder of how human activity can accelerate a disaster already set in motion by climate change.
