Fifteen years ago, when we moved at a community called Caputatan, there was no basic facility installed. No power lines, no water pipes that brings you tap water right down to your house, no telephone lines or internet.
My mother Julinda decided to seek help from nearby laborers. "Please dig for us, build us a water well."
The laborers dug for about 10 feet and water like fountain spurted out from the ground.
Everyone was happy, I remember my younger sister Emma was jumping "we have now water yipee!"
Five years after, water system was installed but only limited number of households were able to manage connections. My mother is one of them. But the old sturdy water well regularly offers water to waterless residents.
Fifteen years after, my brother Joel got married and he occupied the left end of our compound.
He decided to have his own water well to conserve and save.
Unfortunately it took him about 50 feet down to locate a water source.
My mother said "the community is growing, people are becoming hostile to our nature, cutting trees will make our ground dry."
Yes 15 years ago, our small village has a handful of households. Our place was known as bird hunting site then.
Now residentials are sprawling everywhere and more houses are being build.
