Part 2/11:
In the densely populated slums of Manila, where access to electricity and cooling systems is limited, residents are improvising to find relief from the relentless heat. Many are resorting to basic methods such as cold water showers and makeshift shelters to stay cool. For example, local residents have shared stories of how they utilize makeshift water sources to beat the heat, often at dawn when resources are more available. These efforts underscore the resilience and ingenuity of the urban poor who face the dual challenge of extreme weather and limited infrastructure.
