57 man died due to a landslide caused by the storm. Meanwhile, older persons who are able to relocate often contract illnesses in evacuation centers.270 The livelihoods of older adults are likewise affected by climate change. Older persons are forced to rely on a government pension or financial support from family.271 However, in some southern Philippines provinces, older persons are excluded from cash-for-work schemes despite having had gainful employment prior to typhoons.272 Loss of documentation also poses a challenge to accessing state-subsidized healthcare benefits, with some older persons being overlooked for support to meet aging and pre-existing conditions.273 Social and cultural activities of older persons are also limited by climate change. In the province of Romblon for instance, the local government has limited the participation of older persons in outdoor activities due to the warning of local government social workers on the health effects of extreme heat on them. 274 e. People Living in Poverty The former Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights reports that: people in poverty tend to live in areas more susceptible to climate change and in housing that is less resistant; lose relatively more when affected; have fewer resources to mitigate the effects; and get less support from social safety nets or the financial system to prevent or recover from the impact. Their livelihoods and assets are more exposed and they are more vulnerable to natural disasters that bring disease, crop failure, spikes in food prices, and death or disability.275 270 Constancia Lopez, Community Dialogue in Alabat, Quezon, April 2018. 271 Fact-finding mission in Verde Island Passage. 272 ACAPS Data Review, supra note 268. 273 Id. 274 Fe D.
