A significant dam in the Philippines partially dried up due to the extreme heat, revealing the ruins of a village that dates back approximately 300 years. Pantabangan town was buried in the 1970s during the construction of a reservoir; yet, on very rare occasions during dry and hot weather, it resurfaced from the water.
The majority of the nation is in a drought, and in some places, the temperature has risen.
This is the longest the town has ever remained above water since the dam was built, according to Marlon Paladin, an engineer with the state organization in charge of running the nation’s dams, who spoke with the news agency.
Millions of people’s regular routines have been interrupted by the intense heat, with office workers being advised to work from home and schools closing for several days.
