On the average, eight or nine tropical storms make landfall in the Philippines each year, with another 10 entering Philippine waters. It had already experience the most strong and devastating typhoon ever recorded in the history of the world which is the “Typhoon Haiyan” (local name Bagyong Yolanda) with a total of 6,340 fatalities and hundreds of thousands residences lost their properties.
