Hot and Dry

We are in a drought here on Palawan. There has been very little rain in the last four months. December was the last time it properly rained. As you can see in the pic on the left, even the hardy bamboo is struggling and all the grass is brown.                                                                                                              

Most of Puerto only has water for a few hours a day as the water board timeshares the limited water around. Out in the sticks, many don't have water and have to collect it from wells or other water sources. 

Praise the Lord we have water. Our mountain spring-fed water pipe that provides water to the local area continues to provide water.

When water is short you relay understand how important it is and are great-full to have it.
