Pangan-an Island
The residents get their fresh water supply from the neighboring island of Bohol, and also from rainfall, which explains the abundance of huge concrete vases (for storing rainwater) there. Fresh water shortage is apparent in the island. But a deluge of a different kind of water happened in December 2007. It was midnight. Tatoy, a local resident was awakened by the splashing of the waves. The sea has reached his house, which was shin-deep in his backyard. Astonished cries reverberated in the starless night. The island community was in terror, as seawater kept rising!
