Living on the Edge: Rebuilding Life Where the Sea Took Everything

Charmine Rudolfo and Jay Vallestin, both 25, live with their two children in San Antonio, Panganiban, Catanduanes. For six years, they have built a life near the sea. Jay fishes for shrimp and crabs, while Charmine takes care of their children and home.

Living close to the sea has its costs, especially when storms and typhoons strike. When Typhoon Pepito hit, strong winds and rising waves destroyed everything. Their home, made of plywood and thatched nipa leaves, was swept away. “We lost everything to the sea,” Charmine said.

For a month, the family stayed in an unused space in their village leader’s house. They relied on government food support for their daily survival. Jay would go out to sea for hours, hoping to catch enough to feed the family and earn a little income. Sometimes, he would return with nothing. The uncertainty of each day weighed heavily on them.

Their children still feel scared when it rains heavily. The sound of strong winds or pounding rain brings back memories of the typhoon. As parents, Charmine and Jay find this heartbreaking. They want their children to feel safe again.

Determined to rebuild, they borrowed money to buy lumber and hire a carpenter. Though the interest was high, they took the loan because they had no other option. However, the funds were still not enough. They used scrap GI sheets for walls and gathered sand and pebbles from the shore to create a temporary floor.

When CARE, through the UNCERF-funded emergency response, arrived in their community, they assessed the damages and the needs of the most affected people. Charmine and Jay’s family qualified for shelter repair kits and multi-purpose cash assistance. These resources gave them the support they needed to begin rebuilding their home with dignity and hope.

With the materials and cash assistance, they began rebuilding together. Jay helped the carpenter after fishing trips, and Charmine hauled sand and gravel.

“We worked together to save on labor costs,” Charmine said.

Today, their house is still a work in progress. The walls need to be completed with plywood and properly braced. The floor remains unfinished, but they plan to buy cement to make it sturdier and safer for their children. The kitchen also still needs to be built, so Charmine can once again cook meals in a space of her own. The roof also needs to be reinforced to withstand strong winds. With the rainy season usually beginning in June, they are doing their best to prepare and protect their family.

“It is small, but we have big dreams,” Jay said. “We are working hard so we can make it stronger and one day move to a safer place.”

Sharing strength after the storm

At 63 and 64 years old, Linda and Avelino delos Santos have spent their lives working hard in the village of San Rafael, Bagamanoc, Catanduanes. Linda ran a small store from their home. Avelino worked on nearby abaca and coconut farms, fished when he could, and took construction jobs when they were available.

Their income was never steady and depended on the seasons—a challenge that became harder with age. “Our daily life is hard,” Linda said. “We have to stretch every peso just to get by.”

When Typhoon Pepito hit, it destroyed what little security they had. The storm tore off the roof and walls of their home, forcing them to evacuate. They used a tarp as a temporary roof, but it leaked every time it rained. The typhoon also wiped out their sources of income. The farms were destroyed, leaving Avelino without work. The sea offered little fish, and Linda’s customers no longer had money to spend. Food prices in the market rose sharply.

“We couldn’t even afford vegetables—they cost as much as meat,” Linda said.

Relief came when CARE and its local partner, TABI, supported by the Gates Foundation, delivered essential food and household supplies. The impact was immediate.

“We had enough food to last more than two months, and we were glad to share some with my siblings,” Linda said.

With food no longer a daily concern, the couple could focus on their health and begin repairing their home.

A Favorite Meal After the Storm

For Liezel, 33, and her husband, Mark Anthony, 35, life in their village in Pandan, Catanduanes, was built on hard work. As a cook at a nearby resort and a construction worker, they earned a decent income together, enough to provide for their two children.

Their stable life was turned upside down when Typhoon Pepito struck. The storm’s powerful winds tore the roof and walls from their house. With their home destroyed, the family had to stay with Liezel’s sister for over a month.

The typhoon took more than just their home; it took their jobs. It damaged the resort where Liezel worked and halted all construction projects in the area. With no income, the family relied on government food aid to survive. After a month, the resort reopened, but with only Liezel working, the family struggled to afford enough food. Her husband was not able to get back to work until February.

“It was difficult because this was the first time we experienced a typhoon that destroyed our house and stripped our savings,” Liezel said.

The experience also left a lasting impact on her children. “Every time it rains hard, they get scared,” she shared.

In March, CARE and its partner TABI, with support from the Gates Foundation, came to their village with food, kitchen items, and sleeping materials. This support which included 75 kilos of rice and other food items, like chicken, was essential to keep going.

“I saw how my children were smiling from ear to ear, especially when I fried the chicken. It was their favorite meal, even before the typhoon,” she said.

With enough food to last their small family for the next three months, Liezel felt a sense of relief she hadn’t felt in months.

“As a cook, I always worry about my children’s food,” she said. “And I was so happy that they got to eat well again.”

This support provided the stability her family needed to get back on their feet.

Rising from the Storm: Corazon’s Journey of Resilience and Hope

  • CARE Philippines
  • Featured Stories, Latest News & Stories, Stories of Change

Corazon Malano, 72, lives in Baang, Catigbian, Bohol, where farming is a way of life. At an early age, she learned the value of hard work on her family’s coconut farm. When she started her own family, coconut farming became her main source of income. Since 1975, she has relied on coconut farming to support her family, send her children to school, provide food, and invest in small ventures, such as raising livestock and growing rice.

For nearly 50 years, her life was shaped by the rhythm of the land and the coconut harvests that her family depended on. “Coconut farming is dependable and brings a reliable income,” she says.

Life as a coconut farmer has always had its challenges. Because the price of copra changes, some seasons were good, while others barely provided enough to get by. In good times, she could earn up to 10,000 pesos from her 200 coconut trees, but during bad times, she had to find other ways to make ends meet. Corazon never considered giving up, despite these struggles.

Then came December 16, 2021. Typhoon Odette, one of the strongest typhoons to hit the Philippines, swept through her community. Its strong winds uprooted coconut trees, destroyed homes, and left entire communities uncertain about the future.

For Corazon, the loss was personal. “It’s like saying goodbye to a family member who has helped us come this far,” she says. The loss was immense, not just financially, but emotionally. Coconut farming had built her life, and now she wondered how to start over.

With most of her coconut trees gone, the future seemed bleak. She worried that recovery would take years and feared that she and other coconut farmers might never get back what they lost.

A Renewed Sense of Hope

Then came the RISE Coco (Recovery Intervention for Severely Affected Coconut Farming Communities of Bohol by Super Typhoon Odette) Project, which brought immediate support and a clear plan for long-term recovery. Through the project, she was able to replant coconut trees and rebuild her farm.

The project’s training was especially helpful. She attended sessions on Good Agricultural Practices and learned new techniques to help her farm succeed. The lessons introduced lasting methods to make her farm resilient in the future. She learned about standard planting practices, like the proper spacing between trees to ensure healthy growth. She also learned how to properly use organic fertilizers to give her trees the right nutrients at the right time.

“I was happy because this project didn’t just help us recover our farms, it also gave us knowledge on how to improve our practices,” she says. “Now, we know how to plant better, how to take care of the trees, and how to ensure that they grow stronger against strong winds and heavy rains.”

Community and Lasting Change

The RISE Coco Project’s Livelihood Support Program also brought much-needed changes. The Baang Organic Small Coconut Farmers Association (BOSCOFA), which Corazon leads, focused on producing organic fertilizer and trading copra. This program gave them another way to earn money while waiting for the new trees to grow. This allowed farmers in the organization to improve their financial situation.

The livelihood support program also provided training to help her and her fellow farmers develop the skills needed to keep their collective business going. She learned how to produce and market organic fertilizers and ensure their group’s financial stability.

“This was a huge help for us,” Corazon shares. “Before, our organization was barely active. But with this program, our members became more engaged. We saw hope, and we worked together to make things better.”

The project’s effects were felt throughout the community. Farmers who had been unsure about the future now had something to work toward. The organization became more active and united. Corazon saw a new sense of purpose among her fellow farmers. Where there was once uncertainty, there was now determination.

For Corazon, the project was not just about recovering lost trees; it was about rebuilding confidence in the future of coconut farming. It gave them the tools to recover and reminded them of their strength as a community.

“The RISE Coco Project has significantly impacted our lives,” she says. “It did not only encourage us to rehabilitate our farms. It also gave hope to the farming families in our community.”

Now, when Corazon looks at the young coconut trees on her farm, she sees more than a source of income. She sees a future where farmers like her are better prepared, more knowledgeable, and more resilient. The road to recovery is still long, but with the right support and a willingness to keep going, she knows they are on the right path.

The RISE Coco project is a partnership anchored on a global agreement between Cargill and CARE International to work together to implement programs that would rehabilitate livelihoods impacted by disasters, support recovery and promote food security of affected farming communities. It is being implemented by CARE Philippines and its partner, the Cebubohol Relief and Rehabilitation Center.

Mindanao in Focus: Resilience in the Margins, Hope at the Center

In Mindanao, the Philippines’ southernmost island, communities grapple with the compounding effects of conflict, displacement, natural hazards, and climate-induced disasters.

This collection of photos, most recently exhibited at the 2025 European Humanitarian Forum in Brussels, brings into focus stories from across the region: children returning to school after floods, indigenous groups navigating displacement due to conflict, individuals obtaining birth certificates for the first time, and humanitarian aid reaching the most remote communities.

It primarily features moments from the EU-funded ACCESS Project but also showcases other EU-supported initiatives of ACCESS consortium partners, offering a glimpse into the collective, complementary efforts of humanitarians working on the ground, united in their goal of building resilience in the most at-risk, least-served communities.

At its heart, these images celebrate human resilience. Amidst overwhelming challenges, the strength, dignity, and hope of Mindanao’s communities shine through.

As viewers, we are called not only to bear witness to their struggles but also to recognize the necessity of continued support and solidarity with those enduring these crises.

Surviving Storms: An Abaca Farmer’s Story

  • Mary Therese Norbe
  • Blog, Featured Stories, Latest News & Stories, Women and Girls

Ledesma Tañon, 59, was born into a family of abaca (Manila hemp) farmers and has been deeply involved in farming for as long as she can remember. Alongside her husband, Noe, a dedicated blacksmith, she raised ten children in their home in Brgy. Buyo, Virac, Catanduanes.

She cultivates abaca, root crops, and vegetables on a four-hectare land, ensuring a steady food supply for her family. The income from abaca farming is a crucial source of support, enabling her to cover the family’s daily needs and finance her children’s education.

On December 16, Typhoon Pepito (Man-yi) made landfall in Catanduanes, devastating her farm by toppling nearly all 250 hills of abaca. She was left with only the suckers, which will require two years to mature before any fiber can be harvested. The typhoon also tore off the roof of their home and brought floodwaters that rose to at least 2 meters high. Most of their belongings were damaged, leaving them with little to salvage.

Despite everything, Ledesma remained steadfast. “Starting over is difficult, but I have to be strong for my children”, she said. She shared that this wasn’t the first time they had faced such devastation. “Our house was flooded to the rooftop when Typhoon Rolly happened in 2020. All our crops were destroyed, too”, she added.

Catanduanes is highly prone to typhoons. As the easternmost province of the Philippines, it directly faces the Pacific Ocean and is often the first to be hit by storms entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). Its location makes it a frequent target for powerful typhoons, which bring heavy rain, strong winds, and storm surges, often causing flooding and landslides.

The people of Catanduanes, like Ledesma, depend largely on abaca, a crop resilient to drought but highly vulnerable to typhoon damage. In fact, Typhoon Pepito devastated around 23,000 hectares of abaca plantations on the island, which produces 27% of the Philippines’ total abaca fiber supply.

In October 2021, CARE Philippines introduced the Women Economic Empowerment (WE Empower) Project in Catanduanes to address the impact of Typhoon Rolly on the abaca-based livelihoods of affected communities. The project focused on empowering women and young abaca farmers by providing capacity-building programs, enhancing access to essential services, and fostering an environment conducive to sustainable economic activities.

Ledesma is one of more than a thousand farmers who participated in the WEE project. She and her fellow farmers organized the Buyo-Dugi-Hicming Farmers Association. They were trained on abaca and root crop by-products, financial management, other relevant business and financial skills, climate-resilient farming techniques, and good agricultural practices. Part of their learning was also on disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation.

When the news forecasted the typhoon’s landfall in Catanduanes, she immediately harvested root crops such as cassava, taro, and sweet potatoes to ensure that they could have something to eat after the deluge.

She also evacuated three sows to a safe location and ensured the processed abaca fibers were stored in a high place to protect them from flooding before leaving for safety. She also brought their meager savings which she used to buy roofing materials and had her sons repair the damage to their home. She also managed to buy some rice though this only lasted a few days.

Through the WEE Project, CARE introduced the aGAP Bangon assistance program, an innovative, market-based emergency relief initiative. The program provides immediate relief packages, including food items and seedlings, to the most vulnerable community members and farmers impacted by natural disasters like Typhoon Pepito.

Ledesma received a 25-kilo sack of rice and vegetable seedlings to supplement the supplies she saved before the typhoon. She plans to use the remaining abaca fiber she saved to weave mats and baskets for sale. Additionally, one of her sows is pregnant, and she intends to sell the piglets to raise funds for restarting her farming activities.

“It’s difficult to start but it gets easier when you have something to start on”, she shared.
