IN SEPTEMBER of 2009, sari-sari store owner Rowena Novelerio of Pasig City experienced what is now referred to as "one of the worst Philippine floods ever recorded in history."
The volume of rain brought about by Typhoon Ondoy made the water in their neighborhood rise almost as quickly as they can climb up to the second floor, or the roofs of their houses.
"Our store was submerged, with the water reaching the ceiling," Novelerio recalled. "We weren't able to save anything. We had to take shelter in the rented apartments above."
