HOME 911:  By Tanya T. Lara

Dear home 911,

My family bought a modest house two years ago in Marikina on a 10-year bank loan. During typhoon Ondoy, floodwaters reached up to the second floor of the house, damaging everything inside. The wooden floors and walls have warped and all appliances and furniture have been destroyed. Luckily, we all survived without physical harm. The problem is that with the extent of repairs to be done to make the house livable again, we just can’t afford to pay the mortgage. And nobody wants to buy a house that was damaged by Ondoy, even if you sell it way below the market value — and what value is the house and lot now anyway? It is more practical for us to rent an apartment. While we can still meet the basic necessities, we feel desperate about the mounting bills. It’s easier for us to just let the bank repossess the property. Can we just stop paying and abandon the house? What are the consequences?
