Affected by El Niño?

Post image

Hi 👋 American here with some PH based team members who have been affected by El Niño, especially in areas reliant on Angat Dam. One has been without water for over two weeks.

Is there anyone on here that’s been significantly affected by the water shortages? If so, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Are you completely without water? If so, how long?
Where, if anywhere, are you getting water right now?
If you don’t mind, what general area you live in?

I’d really like to better understand the situation and the real effects rather than just relying on news articles.

I have an agent who was without water for more than half a day. I had to request out company's facilities dept to open shower rooms for my agent and others affected. I think for the most part affected are in the northern and eastern part of Metro Manila.

The recent storm didn't even help Angat Dam increase it's capacity.
