Despite all of these calamities happening, they’re still very fortunate to have a lot of people from all around the country giving help and donations to them. Although a lot of things are going through their minds, they still have to face the fact that life must go on. They felt so down seeing their properties and areas damaged by these typhoons and felt so hopeless knowing that everything seems to be devastated or gone and they could no longer live the life like before these incidents happened. Filipinos were emotional because of those calamities happened from the past. Due to these tragic events, our group has decided to conduct this study. Hurricane Sandy left New York with homeless families, destroyed places and flooded streets. Also, outside the Philippines, a hurricane named Sandy visited New York City this year. The place was full of broken tree parts, structure debris and bodies of dead people. The river transformed into a body of water full of mud. It made a very big effect in the Mindanao particularly on Compostella Valley, Cateel, and New Bataan. Pablo made a devastating impact on the Philippines. A typhoon is a hurricane that when occurs in a certain area, urban or rural, can make a disaster. Recently, a typhoon named Pablo visited the Philippines. These winds are sometimes merged by warm bodies of ocean water which makes them stronger and more indestructible. Trade winds gather near the equator and combines with several equatorial winds. Philippines is often visited by a lot of typhoons is because of the mere fact that it is the first massive land next to the Pacific Ocean. It could destroy lots of areas wherein many Filipinos suffer- people starve, becomes homeless, and lose their loved ones.
