  1. I love the Philippines islands and I suffer by watching the same news every year. We need to invest in proper building that won't keep falling year by year and birth control, so the population can stop booming and duplicating year by year and we can take care of the one who are already here instead to keep producing more and more future typhoon victims. Philippines is a country full of lovely people but I think they keep forgetting what happening every year. Protecting and preparation. Hopefully this is the last year we will hear a similar news! :(
