A burnt withered tree stands near the rubble of damaged houses following a huge fire that engulfs at least 800 houses in Bacoor, Cavite, the Philippines, on September 12, 2024. The fire breaks out in the early hours of September 10 and displaces nearly 1,000 families, with many living in poverty being forced to take shelter in nearby evacuation centers where assistance and relief efforts are provided to the affected people. The accident occurs in a densely populated compound, where houses mainly made of iron sheets, wood, and combustible materials are built within narrow streets, which, according to local media reports, makes it difficult for rescuers to conduct emergency operations. This is one of the major fire disasters that make Filipinos homeless this year. Past research and reports by NGOs find that heightened electricity, straining power lines, as well as combustible materials such as dry leaves, grass, and garbage, which are susceptible to ignition from sun exposure or discarded cigarettes, are some of the reasons why the Southeast Asian country is prone to fire.

A withered tree is standing near the remnants of the old sunken town of Pantabangan, which have reemerged at a reservoir due to a severe drought caused by extreme heat, in Pantabangan, Philippines, on May 12, 2024. The 300-year-old settlement, including a church and several tombstones, is becoming a tourist attraction following a decline in water levels at the dam, which is attributed to rising temperatures and exacerbated by the El Nino climate patterns. Other countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia are also experiencing hotter weather.
