75-YR-OLD WOMAN CLIMBS UP MOUNTAIN TO COLLECT 3 GALLONS OF WATER LOOK: A 75-year-old woman in Cebu has been climbing up a mountain to collect three gallons of water for her daily needs. According to “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho” on Sunday, Matilde risks her life taking several trips to the well to draw gallons of water in Sitio Calibasan, Brgy. Captain Claudio, Toledo City. Matilde, who treks with her dogs Kabang and Diana, would go barefoot so she would not slip. Aside from having a hard time trekking with gallons of water, she said she would also get dizzy from the heat and dehydration. According to the senior citizen, she gets water for washing dishes and laundry from what the locals call Tabayng Dako, while her drinking water comes from Tabayng Gamay. It takes five minutes to fill up one plastic container. Sometimes, Matilde would have to hike to a higher part of the mountain. The downhill journey is also a struggle because she had to carry over 12 liters. As far as they could remember, Matilde and all the other Sitio Calibasan residents have not had decent water supply, which make them rely heavily on the rain. Matilde shared that they could hire someone to get water. But that would cost P35 per gallon. #MyLife
