Another place in the Philippines is visayas, because...It is a small group of islands near the Pacific Ocean where typhoons naturally occur..due to its islands, it is also near the ring of fire which can trigger earthquakes and tsunamis that can swallow up the island due to its size.

Performance Task Level 3
Performance Task (Project) Level 3: Due to limited resources, a government agency asked for a report that identifies the natural disasters hot spots in the country (places where natural disasters frequently happen). The report must explain why a particular place is prone to a certain natural disaster. It will be evaluated based on the veracity (truthfulness) of its content. P.S. PLEASE CITE ALL OF YOUR SOURCES
Our group's report talks about frequent places in the Philippines wherein most disasters occur. one place is in northern Luzon...It experiences different occurrences of typhoons. it can destroy crops and harvests in the mountainous areas, that may take several months to do. It can also cause harmful landslides since northern Luzon is mostly composed of mountains. It is prone to disasters due to its location and mountains.

Group Essay
The geography of a country affects people's life thought their personal beliefs and the way they name certain places. It affects the agriculture of a certain place since their location could be somewhere cold, or warm, it depends on the things they grow.
The Philippines experience many kinds of natural phenomena. This includes landslides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Written below are some article concerning the causes of the natural phenomenas. 1. Philippine Exposure to Natural Disasters The Pacific Rim is not only a community of the fastest growing and most dynamic nations in the world. It is also the area exposed to a wide range of natural disaster. The Philippines archipelago, located near the western edge of the Pacific Ocean, is in the direct path of seasonal typhoons and monsoon rains which bring floods, storms, storm surges, and their attendant landslides and other forms of devastation. The Philippines also sits on the "ring of fire" where the continental plates collide and thus experience periodic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The Philippine exposure to natural disasters may be characterized as frequent, varied, and severe; a combination which has made the country particularly attentive to disaster reduction. 2. The Philippine Response towards Disasters Reduction The Philippine response towards disaster reduction has been progressively developed and grown more extensive with every disaster the country has encountered.
This report presents the many dimensions of this purpose in terms of four key aspects, namely: the institutional infrastructure for disaster management; the legal framework for disaster prevention and response; the national disaster management program; and the response of disasters by the civil society.
Geography of the Philippines Population: 99,900,177 (July 2010 estimate) Capital: Manila Area: 115,830 square miles (300,000 sq km) Coastline: 22,549 miles (36,289 km) Highest Point: Mount Apo at 9,691 feet (2,954 m) The Philippines is an archipelago comprised of 7,107 islands in the South China, Philippine, Sulu, and Celebes Seas and the Luzon Strait. The topography of the islands is mostly mountainous with narrow to large coastal lowlands depending on the island. The Philippines is divided into three main geographic areas: these are Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The climate of the Philippines is tropical marine with a northeast monsoon from November to April and a southwest monsoon from May to October. In addition, the Philippines, like many other tropical island nations has problems of deforestation, and soil and water pollution. The Philippines also has problems of air pollution because of large populations in its urban centers.

Disaster Plan
Since this barangay has a unique location, we planned our own barangay disaster plan:
In case of earthquakes:
In case of earthquakes:
- Stay in your homes during the earthquake, when the shaking stops, proceed to the gymnasium.
- Remain calm at all times
- Bring only the things you need that are important.
In case of a large wildfire:
- Proceed to the gymnasium in case
- Make sure that electricity is out so that it wouldn't cause a burden
In case of flooding
- Proceed to the balcony of the 2nd floor of the church, surely, almost everyone can fit.
- Stay calm and try to look for any personnel as quick as possible.
Why must we implement these disaster plans?
- So that everyone can be safe and that we would at least have an order when it comes to times of panic
