On Top of the World
This is Artex Compound in Malabon--a community submerged in water. It's our very own Venice, but without the history, the gondolas, or the architecture.
They've grown tired of pumping out the water since it always finds its way back. So they've learned to adapt and make a living out of their situation. They rent their boats and provide tours for a fee.
The place has been busy with visits from TV programs (Wish Ko Lang donated a floating sari-sari store), schools, and photographers.
