Palmones reiterates his call to the public to have an emergency “balde” or pail in case a disaster strikes. “Natural disasters can be predicted.

    The Philippines is battered by 20 or more typhoons each year causing flooding and destruction of crops, infrastructures and other properties not to mention the loss of lives. One could still remember the damage caused by typhoon Ondoy about two years ago. On September 26, 2011 typhoon Pedring made landfall in Casiguran, Aurora with 130 kph winds and gustiness of 160 kph. It brought with it rains estimated at 15-25 mm per hour. With a diameter of about 650 km it covered most of the island of Luzon.
