Ring of Fire”, between two Tectonic plates (Eurasian and Pacific), an area
encircling the Pacific Ocean where frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity
result from the movements of said tectonic plates. In fact, the country
experiences an average of 20 earthquakes per day (most are too weak to be
felt). There are also about 300 volcanoes, of which 22 are active and have been
recorded in history to have erupted; while 5 are considered to be the most
active namely: Taal, Mayon, Bulusan, Kanlaon and Hibok-Hibok. Also, being
located along the typhoon belt/superhighway in the Pacific makes it vulnerable
to extreme weather events. An average of 20-30 typhoons/tropical cyclones
visit the country every year, with 5-7 of them considered the most destructive.
Its 36,289 kms. of coastline is also vulnerable to tsunami, making the country
also highly-susceptible to sea level rise and storm surges. Accompanying or
resulting from these tropical cyclone events are secondary phenomena such as
landslides, floods/flashfloods/flooding, tornadoes, drought, and heavy/monsoon
rains.
Aside from the natural hazards, the Philippines also experiences human-
induced incidents such as urban/structural fires, air, land and sea mishaps,
drowning, collapsed structure, epidemic/disease outbreak, food poisoning,
vehicular accidents, gas explosion, chemical poisoning, oil spillage, grenade/
bomb explosion/bombings, civil disturbance, and complex emergencies,
particularly those internally displaced citizens as a result of armed conflicts
mostly in Southern Philippines.
B. Disaster Impact
From 1970 – 2010, the country was challenged with 292 destructive typhoons
out of the 793 tropical cyclones that entered the Philippine Area of
Responsibility (PA); nine (9) major earthquakes: 1968 (Casiguran, Aurora), 1973
(Regay Gulf); 1976 (Moro Gulf), 1990 (Luzon, Bohol and Panay), 1994 (Mindoro
Oriental), 1999 (Metro Manila and Region I) 2002 (South Cotabato) and 2003
(Masbate); 2 major volcano eruptions: 1991 (Mt. Pinatubo) and 1993 (Mt.

● Tips for subject-verb agreement
● Someone or something must be present in a sentence, and that someone
or something doing the action or being talked about is the subject. Verbs
are the words that express the action the subject is doing or the state of
being the subject is in. Subjects and verbs must agree if you're going to
get your point across as clearly as possible. Otherwise, you end up with
an incomplete sentence or a sentence that makes no
● sense.
● Match singular subjects with singular verbs, plural subjects with plural
verbs (i run, she runs, they run).
● Amounts of time and money are usually singular (ten dollars is).
● Either/or and neither/nor. Match the verb to the closest subject (neither
the boys nor the girl is).
● Either and neither, without their partners or and nor, always take a
singular verb (either of the apples is).
● All subjects preceded by each and every take a singular verb (each CD
is mine; every one of the cheeses is different).
● Both, few, several, and many are always plural (both/manv are aualified:
few want the iob: several were
● for, so, yet) and commas as connectors. Words like however,
● Verb tense tips
● Besides showing the action or state of being in the sentence, the verb
also indicates the time the action or "being" took place. By learning about

● Simple present tense: tells what is happening now
● Simple past tense: tells what happened before now
● Simple future: talks about what has not happened yet
● Present perfect tense: expresses an action or state of being in the
present that has some connection with the past
● Past perfect tense: places an event before another event in the past
● Future perfect tense: talks about something that has not happened yet
in relation to another event in the future

● Placing proper punctuation
● Can you imagine what a sentence without any punctuation would be like?
Without proper punctuation, it would be unreadable. Knowing when and
how to use the period, comma, colon, semicolon, and other punctuation
marks will make your writing smoother and more understandable.
● Endmarks: All sentences need an endmark: a period, question mark,

Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng in 2009.
From 1970 – 2009, the annual average disaster direct damage ranges from
PhP5 Billion to PhP15 billion (US$ 100 million – 300 million) and further
increased by indirect and secondary impact of disasters. The cost of direct
damages is equivalent to 5% of the national (GDP). An average of 1,002
casualties annually and flooding is the topmost disaster during the last 5 years.
The last Quarter storms and typhoons of 2009: Tropical Storm “Ondoy”
(Ketsana), Typhoons “Pepeng” (Pharma) and “Santi”, affected 12 regions in
Central, Northern Luzon and Southern Luzon; casualties: 956 dead, 84 missing
and 736 injured. The estimated severely affected population reached 9.3M out
of the 43.2M population in the affected regions. The total estimated damages
and losses incurred were: Php206 Billion or US$ 4.38 Billion which is 2.7% of
GDP. More than 90% of the damages and losses were suffered by private
sectors. Damages are as follows: Housing – Php 34.4 Billion; Business – Php
111.3 Billion; Transport – 6.5 Billion others around Php 6.3 Billion. A nationwide
state of calamity has been declared.
Effects of Typhoon “Ondoy”
PD 1566 series of 1978 disaster management centered only on the hazard and
the impacts of a disaster. It is assumed that disasters cannot be avoided. Most
of the plans were on the provision of relief goods and infrastructures like dikes
and flood control systems. The government’s response to disaster was focused
on disaster response. The national and local governments were reactive to
disasters.

risk reduction, mitigation and preparedness in the pre-event; and disaster
response, rehabilitation and recovery in the post-event. A framework that has
evolved and adapted to lessons of past disaster events as well as emerging
concerns, and anchored on the national authority’s program thrusts, aimed to,
among others, implement the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005 – 2015:
Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters with the five
(5) Thematic Areas/Priorities for Action, as follows:

Philippines constitutes an archipelago of 7,107 islands and has a total land area
of approximately 299,764 square kilometers.
The country’s capital is Manila. The population estimated is 94.01 million as of
July
th
2009 with a growth rate of 1.96% and rank as 12 most populous country in the
world.
Eighty-three percent (83%) of the Filipinos are predominantly Roman Catholics.
The country is divided into three major island groups. Luzon is the largest island
covering 102,000 square kilometers, and the Visayas with 57,000 square
kilometers. The rest are small islets
that emerge and disappear with ebbing and rising of tides.
The Philippines has a tropical maritime climate and is usually hot and humid.
There
are three seasons: tag-init or tag-araw, the hot dry season or summer from
March to May; tag-ulan, the rainy season from June to November; and tag-
lamig, the cool dry season from December to February. The southwest monsoon
(from May to October) is known as the Habagat, and the dry winds of the
northeast monsoon (from November to April), the Amihan. Temperatures usually
range from 21°C (70°F) to 32°C (90°F) although it can get cooler or hotter
