SO, we all know that the Philippines is the preferred target of Pacific Ocean-born typhoons. On top of that, I am sure you have noticed or are noticing the increase in the number and ferocity of normal weather occurrences, said to be the result of climate change. Just the other day, there were video clips trending on social media of trees blowing away, vehicles pushed off course and wind-driven rain moving in all directions. On top of that, it showed the bottom tip of a tornado right smack in the middle of the San Lazaro district of Manila! This was not a named typhoon, this was merely your usual monsoon season, afternoon thunderstorm only this time on steroids. Scientists have been raising the alarm bells around the globe against our worsening weather, and I hope governments and the populace are listening.
