When Mary Ann San Jose moved to Bulacan, northwest of the Philippine capital Manila, more than two decades ago, she could walk to the local chapel. Today, she would have to swim there.
Land in her town and neighbouring areas has sunk between four and six centimetres (1.5-2.4 inches) each year since 2003.
In recent decades, the rising waters have forced at least 5,000 people to abandon homes in the rural coastal areas north of the capital Manila.
The fate of these towns also foreshadows what Manila and its 13 million residents face as long as the sinking continues.

Oh my...
Ray mak where u from

Sad to be true capital city of indonesia on the same condition
Lioss Granda,
Well hopefully all of our lands don't sink. I guess we really need to slow down Global Warming faster, since there's no way to stop it permanently.
@@slamacatgt4296 nobody care about any other country.
@@slamacatgt4296 who cares why
@@slamacatgt4296 because your pinoy enforcement not strong to curb terorrism
@@slamacatgt4296 you're a shame
Welp... my homecountry will be sinking...
Pls dont sink ;-;
Move your capital.
We in your south is currently trying to do that.
It's not my home country but I've lived there and I don't want it to go
AR Irsali :p
Malapit ako sa dagat nakatira :(
@@karellen4913 we aren't moving our capital but we are making a second capital which will also be the administrative capital north of Manila with an elevation of around 100-200 meters above sea level. If all goes according to plan, our second capital will be done earlier than yours but chances are, our new capitals will finish at the same time.
Global Warming, "Let's save the World" said everyone Not Knowing how to do so!
@Backpacker One64 Yes yes, recycle 1 bottle and hope it makes a difference...
Backpacker One64 what about they plant more trees? The leaves convert carbon into oxygen.
Tommyash Ashleytom ok
@Tommyash Ashleytom ummmmm it's not too late 🙄 you can plant trees anywhere else.
It doesnt matter when everyobe dont cooperate and that's what i hate about it. Those who dont cooperate are the people who complained the most and honestly its really annoying and hyprocrite to themselves
How far is this from where China was collecting sand?
@आर्य रौद्र we all do but China is the worst
@@o-o4276 maybe u havent read river ganges yet
@आर्य रौद्र ENDIA IS DESTROYING THE ATMOSPHERE BY THEIR OPEN DEFECATION POLLUTING AIR SEAS AND RIVERS
+Richie of Tampa Where did you got that idea? when you dig and collect it means more water will be stored in that place that you dug... go back to school you did not learn anyways...
They are not just collecting sand. They have black sand mining too to some province in the Philippines.. SO SAD.
Yeah. Familiar with this place in Province of Bulacan. I hope the governor will order to have them relocated. Rainy season is coming soon.
I think it already started. Here in Iloilo, it is hot until 3 PM. After 3, the rain will just pour fast. Hahaha
I have seen the possibility of future Jakarta now.Couldn't imagine how many losses and damges would be if Jakarta like that.Only can hope that the government will move the capital quickly
@@k.a3629 No need to worry.Moving the capital in about 5 years is something's awesome for me remembering 5 years is being said by many as a very short period for a capital city replacement
That is gonna be hard for the coountry philipines is poor imagine how would that cost the philipine goverment and they need to transport 13 million civies well this is 2 days ago what if theres people from other places in the philipine penninsula lived there if the goverment is gonna transport people that much there will be chaos becuz we cant transport that much at the same time people will die of starvation there would be protest riot and may lead to economy breakdown becuz there are factories in the capital and peoplethere would fight for water and foods so there is a 50% of high casualties and the goverment will think of a place to transport all the people and some of them might walk people will flood the city where they should be transported and the army might sealed of the city becuz high population some of the cities only have limited foods and water supplies so its impossible
This town is far away from capital and it has nothing to worry about no big deal on this issue
@@chichay313 i know but its threathining the capital i just said the possibilieties
@@dennisplays5623 its just a threat to that town because its not a highland. Also how can it threatened the capital its not like Jakarta which is very close it needs more square kilometers to reach it.
People take natural habitats -> destroys it more by polluting it ->
Global warming happens ->
Their by homes gets destroyed by nature ->
People: *surprised pikachu face*
The government should improve other provinces and develop a new capital city.
piece of cake is it.
Stop playing city skylines
Indonesia is kinda managing.
Haha as if our corrupt country can even afford a new capital
Well there is this so called New Clark City being built and is landlocked area, resilient of earthquakes and floods.
Sometimes you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em. Been happening since dawn of time.

Just to let everyone know. This is not Manila, but an area in Malabon. Malabon is one of the cities within the northern Metro Manila (NCR). Some parts of Malabon city and even Valenzuela City is known for frequent and permanent flooding due to the rising sea level and depleted deep water reservoir. These sinking concern has been there for long time ago. These people choose to stay in these sinking town.
It seems all coastal city are going to lose part of the city singking into the ocean
Thank lordy my cousin there live around a mountain// high ground (somewhere in Bataan idk where Lol)
I thought Jakarta is the only city that will sink
Well I think new york is in danger of that too
I Think some area around the globe will sink.
Definitely, you will sink under a barrage of SK & Yankee missiles...
There are entire small island nations that would sink in 2050. Like the one in indian ocean. Forgot the name though.
@@Astania08 already forgotten before it sink lol
Okay province of Bulacan is New Metro Manila? Lol😂 HAHAHHAHA
There are two types of maps.
The economical map and geographical administrative map.
South bulacan is part of the metropolitan mega manila in the economic map. The same here in dasma, cavite, we are part of it, but in administrative geographical terms, we are not part of NCR
I never heard that before but thank you for showing this. I hope those residents move away from the sea level.
There's no money for them
@@juliemonte3245 If theres no money. The Government need to send money for them. If not, they will risk their lives
The government actually built houses for them in a cheap price. They don't want to move away. Poverty isn't the problem, it's the people who are in poverty.
The sinking in Sitio Pariahan was cause of flooding underwater is located at Barangay Taliptip, Bulakan, Bulacan was cause of rising sea levels due to climate change and since them the bad weather in 1999 until not safe before the nature was restored. Buhayin natin ang Pilipinas. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Is the ground sinking or is the water rising?
The ground is sinking because of excessive pumping out of the ground water. I think they said 3in or 3cm per year since 2003. We need to curb population growth big time.
Both.
Seriously??? Is that your question?
Nani?
@@spiderliliez No, that's a legitimate question. There is a lot of confusion in the comments with several people mentioning global warming while the video very clearly stated that the cause is excessive ground water being pumped.
This is completely deceiving, these people lives above water so there was no land or there was land under water.
I live here in the Philippines and I think this is because of the government's lack of concern which I hate, no proper waste disposal, sewerage system, and in some places they only use well which is the reason why they're sinking because of the excessive use of water underground.
I live in Bulacan but didnt know this place
They should put more soil and plant more so they'll absorb the water and now we see what happen when we cut down trees and cement the whole place.
I don't wanna lose my childhood home please don't sink even more
They're gonna be living on boats by the end of this
Saaduddin Ansari they don't deserve yachts. Just relocate them somewhere else.
This place is definitely not in Manila ,trust me Im a Filipino.
Thats way far Manila & that city was sinking since way2 back 90's lol facts please
Stop using this water deep well
My city is sinking. The canals are overfilled in my city.
yeah, I dont think threat is the right word
Mangroves planting isa a must. Now Na bulacan
Akala ko Jakarta lang ang lumulubog, meron din pala dito.
HAHAHA DI NAMAN MANIKA ANG LUMULUBOG JAN. BULACAN LANG YON. SAKA MATAGAL NA YAN LUMUBOG NOH. DAMING NAKATIRA DITO SA ILALIM NG ILOG PERO DI NAMAN TUMATAAS YUNG TUBIG. UNLIKE SA JAKARTA NA NAG LAGAY NA SILA NG MATAAS NA WALL PERO YUNG TUBIG NASA WALL NA TALAGA NILA
@@malibongramuel-12-quisumbi4 yes sir
Pero in the year 2060 -2100, some parts of Metro Manila would be below sea level due to climate change that melts the polar ice caps and raising the sea level.
A lot of Venice is coming.
And yet some of these people voted for leaders who aren't even planning to do something about this situation
Wow, it's like your Libtards yellowtards gods would do something about it. Lol. They'd probably push for a war with china than to do something about the sinking of Metropolitan Manila. Lol.
@@Astania08 and i oop-
@@Astania08 that escalated quickly
@@Astania08 butthurt
I went here and totally the flood was up to my hips it was scary as a tsunami
By moving Capital city will not help instead need to research Why the water level is increasing because of our fault & fail in taking care of Nature ...so please take precautions & help nature to rebuilt !!
We should live in mountains more.
dami kasi poso sa bulacan stop getting water underground magpalinya na kayu ng tubig
Edgar cayce said Philippines will sink into sea because of pole shift
The Water is rising because the melting of glaciers.
Singapore hv marina bay
Philippines hv Manila bay
True
not true
Semi true
What’s with the complaining? Make it look nicer than wooden shack and wham you have a Venice in the Philippines.
Start saving earth once mother nature gets mad idk what will happen next
Don't worry the capital is really sinking every year too especially those reclaimed area in Metro Manila.
@@halamadrid19791 I didn't know that you were into these stuffs
...
Lol. Is this comment a joke? Did you watch the video Karen Villarosa? or your comment is just a baseless assumptions? Reclaimed areas are more resilient in floods because it's typical higher than sea water levels and non reclaimed lands. Reclamation can project coastal areas from flooding cause by encroachment of sea waters from land and rising sea level.
River gange is still much then this
Hey guys this town is so far away from capital irresponsible headlines..
I’m half Filipino..... my mom was born in the Philippines....... will the Philippines sink?
Of the not gonna happen.
It is... Sadly
Bangkok, Jakarta and now Manila go to sink
Wut? What you saying?
MR AD i think he meant went sinking
@@Mr-Ad-196 the sinking cities. Do u know Jakarta is the fastest sinking city? Like.. every year, Jakarta soil sunk several centimeters. Especially in the northern part of Jakarta.
It's all because the overpump, raising sea level, abrasion, and few more
@@reemcont ohh ok.
@@DBT1007 then what about Malaysia?
Manila will surely sink...
Why wouldn't it? Everyday new buildings are being constructed and many thousands of people move there and not to mention the number of vehicles in the city it gets heavier and heavier by the day comes by
Uumm...I don't think that's how science work...?
Kim Mik lol
Yeah..Its been all over the news lately..
Aw i dont want my country to sink :(
Venice
continential drift
Manila??? This bulacan province amall town haha
Technically their right, but in terms on economical map. We have the term called Mega Metropolitan Manila where neighboring provinces was included because they are benefitted from the economic activities of NCR. Neighboring provinces include Laguna, Cavite, Rizal and Bulacan
Well......... I'm Filipino..
BLAME THE HUMANS!
This is Bulacan Sorounded with fresh and salt water Bulacan is very far to manila 😌🤦
Oh please dont sink
Modern talking is the modern solution.
Atlantis is calling
*sos Philippines*
😂
That town is already sinking since 1950's 😂😂
Why why the us pilipinos
I wonder whose fault is it hmmmm 🧐🧐.
Global warming
USA and those machines
this not manila fake news this is bulacan
North Jakarta will face the same problem in 2050 tho
Jakarta is worst tho.
Hahaha manila is Not sinking that video showed in province of bulacan. not in manila,
that is lately 50's ago when sinking
Please save the chicken
lol! in that situation, i doubt they're raising chickens.
10 comment ;o luv you tho
trump:don't worry everything is ok
What a fakenews😂😂 This is Bulacan this is not Manila😂😂😂😂
When all ice on earth melt, it's expected for some countries to sink in water so this is expected
Reclamation sites xD
Should as china for help. They can built them a new island
Considering Phillipines still occupies Chinese islands, nah. Xi Jinping's going to build an island for Peng Liyuan instead.
@@user-wu6xl4wq5q you're misinformed. it's the other way around, it's china that occupies philippine islands. they're claiming islands that are not theirs in the first place.
everyday life the Netherlands are a better option. Their whole country is below sea level and is a reclamation site. Not only would they stab us behind our backs, but they are much better in handling stuff like sinking lands lol.
Manila wont sink. Jakarta and Bankok will. Maybe its your karma cause you always understimate Philippines and the Filipinos. Just fix the problems in your country and stop practicing crab mentality
Waterworld
Hahah welp if that's going to happen let it be, that's nature.
Nagsimula na!
Chinese fault
🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Behold.. I am from Philippines coments..
Expected
Oh hey I think I’m first
Oh shoot I am first
Don't worry. I'm second in line right behind you.
When you're watching a video about sinking towns and you are first, always mention that you are first cause everyone will think you are so cool!
zknthos
When you are first you don't even have time to watch the video to comment.
Nicole lin... Please get a life. 😬
