“It is very important to listen to Pagasa. And if they tell you to a storm is coming, listen and prepare. De-clog your canals, clean your roof and cut off the branches of trees that might ruin the electric lines. There are a lot of things you can do to help lessen the impact of harsh weather.”

“We still have a lot of storms on the way. We had eight so far, but normally we have at least 20 storms per year. Last May and June, we didn’t experience any storms, which is abnormal. May and June are supposed to have one or two typhoons. Come July, we had four, which is higher than what Pagasa is expected. So this August until December, we will still have more than 10 typhoons probably coming. And these kinds of time, the storms are stronger.”
