The document discusses three natural disasters that occurred in the Philippines: the 2017 Marawi Siege which displaced thousands and destroyed homes and infrastructure; the 2020 Taal Volcano eruption which caused ashfall, evacuations, and disruptions in Batangas and surrounding areas; and Typhoon Ompong in 2018 which brought extensive damage through flooding, landslides, and destroyed homes and crops across Luzon.

It's a disaster for me because the conflict in Marawi displaced thousands of residents and led to the destruction of homes and public infrastructure. Many people faced physical and emotional trauma due to the conflict, and the rehabilitation of the city has been a prolonged and challenging process.
Taal Volcano Eruption (2020)
We can say that the eruption of Taal Volcano is a disaster as it led to ashfall, evacuations, and disruptions in nearby provinces, particularly Batangas. Communities surrounding the volcano experienced the immediate impact of the eruption, including health issues, damage to agriculture, and economic setbacks.
Typhoon Ompong (2018)
Typhoon Ompong, one of the strongest typhoons in 2018, brought extensive damage to the northern Philippines. The typhoon caused widespread flooding, landslides, and destruction of homes and crops, affecting the lives and livelihoods of many in Luzon.
