Post-Flood Supply Chain Shifts in Rizal and Metro Manila
What happened
Following September 2026 floods, farmer Felicitas Tamayo in San Mateo lost her crops. She now sources vegetables from Marikina to supply the stall she runs in San Mateo. Tamayo rents nearly a hectare of land in San Mateo for P12,000 a year. Ricardo Del Rosario was observed clearing debris in San Mateo.
