BATASAN ISLAND, BOHOL: An island community living with a rising sea
When the 2013 earthquake hit Bohol, BATASAN ISLAND in Tubigon has been slowly sinking. Learning from the residents and boatmen I met, the high tide here isn’t an emergency, it’s already part of their daily routine.
These photos captured the reality of Batasan, how homes and everyday routines adjust whenever the tide comes in.
