Baseco Compound is the most vulnerable of the vulnerable. Located in the low-lying reclaimed coastal area along Manila Bay, the community is described as an agglomeration of makeshift structures and informally laid- out residences without the benefit of the most basic public amenities. The residents are composed of mostly migrants from the countryside who have hoped for better opportunities in the megacity, but have ended up as marginalized workers feeding the market for manual and service worker demands of the different industries along the Manila's port area and other adjacent communities. Aside from being continuously threatened by displacement from their residences, they are similarly perpetually confronted by the challenges of environmental risks, such as flooding and storm surge. Recent experiences have exposed them to such vulnerabilities, raising the question on how the community of Baseco Compound is managing the reality of risk and how they can be part of the solution. The community is surveyed, using purposive sampling to determine their strategy in coping with disasters, in which statistical method was used to establish association relations between different demographic and community factors that strengthened the resilience of the community. Results of the paper indicate that despite the flimsy structure, community bond plays a stronger role in keeping the community resilient.
