When the world is told that the Philippines is among the top three most disaster-prone countries, it seems just like a curious factoid, unless you are a Filipino who happens to get more than your share of these hazards. This year is marked by a particularly abundant amount of hazards for the country. Over the past few months, we have experienced a succession of typhoons and floods. As if these were not enough, we have had some man-made disasters as well, most jarring of which was the Jan. 1 power outage that hit the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, spoiling the holiday travel of outbound and inbound visitors to the country.
