Informal settlers on the canals and waterways of Metro Manila have been given an ultimatum of four months to move out of their homes.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government has offered P18,000 to each family to evacuate the flood-prone and polluted estero areas, but leaving their homes will not be easy.
Coconuts Manila photographer Geloy Concepcion took a walk on the Canal de La Reina in Bonondo, Manila and the Tangos River, Malabon City to capture these neighborhoods that may soon cease to exist.
