The rain has been pouring endlessly here in Tawi-Tawi. Since yesterday, it has shown no sign of stopping. Because of it, the morning session and opening program of our civic education forum had to be postponed. The organizers explained that many students and teachers might have difficulty traveling to Mindanao State University, our venue. The roads are slippery, and most participants are not used to this kind of heavy rain that has been drenching the island since the previous day. At first, it felt like an inconvenience. Yet as I sat by the window of our accommodation facing the sea, watching the gray sky melt into the horizon, I began to see something beautiful. The rhythmic sound of the waves blended with the steady drizzle, creating an atmosphere both melancholic and serene. Sitting there with my co-teachers from UP Visayas, I realized that the rain, though disruptive, carried its own quiet blessing.

There was a time almost three years ago when I didn’t think I’d ever feel like myself again. Sometimes, I remember the abyss I fell into and wonder what brought me back. I always have the same answer: hope.

It’s hard to hold onto hope when you’re barely gasping for air. Just after my fifteenth birthday, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. For many of those around me, this came as a total surprise; I had always been so high-functioning. Mental illnesses can be overt, but they often present themselves in very subtle ways. Looking back, I realize how easy it is for pain to go unnoticed– not because people don’t care, but because we don’t always know how to look for it.

He was the first to arrive at the rally. Chest puffed out. Placard in hand. Slogans ready to be unleashed like bullets. He was the star of that show. Online, he was a crusader. Offline, he was the loudest voice at the megaphone. Veins bulging. Spit flying. Fists raised as he shouted his disgust against corruption. Even before the crowd filled the plaza, he had already posted twice on social media.

“Corruption is the cancer of this nation!”

“Stand up and speak out against the thieves of the people’s money!”

A new report from the World Health Organization and UNICEF lands with the force of a global indictment: one in four people on Earth, 2.1 billion souls, still lack safely managed drinking water. The world, it declares, is catastrophically failing to meet its promise of universal access by 2030, a goal the report calls not just a technical challenge, but a “moral imperative.”

For most, this is a distant headline. For Metro Iloilo, it is the story of our lives.

Our water crisis is a perfect, painful microcosm of this global dilemma. For generations, we have lived with the consequences of a public system that was left to decay. The story of our nearly century-old network of aging pipes and intermittent supply is a textbook case of the chronic underinvestment that forces communities to a breaking point.
