(engaging clips of disasters like typhoons, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions in the Philippines)
“The Philippines is ranked as the most disaster-prone country in the world. Every year, it faces typhoons, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions. But why is this country so vulnerable? And what can Filipinos do to build resilience?”
⸻
0:11 – 1:30 | Why is the Philippines Disaster-Prone?
(clips of typhoons, floods, and earthquakes with animated maps of the Pacific Ring of Fire and typhoon paths)
“The Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, where 75% of the world’s volcanoes and 90% of its earthquakes occur. It also lies in the typhoon belt, experiencing around 20 typhoons yearly. The combination of geological hazards, tropical storms, and rising sea levels makes it extremely vulnerable to disasters.”

1:31 – 2:30 | The Philippines’ Global Disaster Ranking
(statistics from the World Risk Index, news reports, and hazard rankings)
“According to the World Risk Index, the Philippines ranked #1 in disaster risk in 2022 due to high exposure and vulnerability. Cities like Manila, Cebu, and Davao are among the most at-risk globally. The country also faces landslides, droughts, and tsunamis, making disaster preparedness crucial.”

About The Author
Unfortunately, the Philippines lies within the Pacific Ring-of-Fire where active volcanoes abound. Then, there's climate change. More often are the development of typhoons occurring from the Pacific entering the country at least 15 times a year. Then, the Philippines consists of tectonic plates moving underneath its geography. Hence, the earthquakes. This is why Filipinos are probably the most RESILIENT people on Earth.
