In Dingle, Iloilo, a broken bridge has made everyday life grueling for the residents.
No less than 11 barangays have been affected after the bridge was broken by Typhoon Odette in December 2021. In April 2022, tropical storm Agaton ensured it remained damaged.
Nicole lives in Barangay Tula-tulaan, which is located at the very edge of Dingle. Before, she would wake up at 5 a.m. to get ready for school, but ever since the bridge broke, she's been getting up at 4 a.m. Nicole remains patient throughout the hours-long journey. She says she's still determined to finish her education. In fact, she's been consistently in the honor roll.Still, she adds that fixing the bridge would be a great help.
"'Yung mga tao po kasi sa 'min dito sa Riverside, hindi po sila madali nakakapunta sa bayan kaya po naisipan po namin gumawa ng balsa," he said. "Napakahirap po samin, nakakapagod pong magpabalik-balik na mabilis kasi marami pang estudyante na kailangan makatawid at makapasok."Karlene says, "Ang hirap pumunta ng bayan. Ang hirap pumunta ng school kasi wala kaming choice."On top of that, they don't have electricity.
Meanwhile, another resident named Jeremy suffers for another reason—he's a survivor of polio. The disease caused him difficulty in walking, adding to the risk of riding the rafts. They say that they're targeting April 15 for the completion of the bridge. They added that they started the process as early as September 28, 2022.
