The Philippines’ Disasters

From the tables shown above, I can conclude that Philippines is prone to
disasters as it is located in the Ring of Fire. What I observed is, if the
intensity of an earthquake is higher and if the Typhoon is more stronger
then it is expected that there would be more casualties. But for some
instances, if a disaster is expected to come and people have enough
knowledge of what could happen then the damage of that disaster is
lesser. The strongest typhoon that Philippines ever experienced was the
infamous Typhoon Yolanda and the strongest earthquake was the Moro
Gulf Earthquake. But these disasters doesn’t destroyed the faith of the
Filipino people. I can say that Filipinos are very resilient and strong. Even
though a lot of things are happening,we believe that God is always on
our side,no matter what.
