A country that gets hit by 20 typhoons every year may not be the best place to live for most people. But for weather enthusiasts and storm chasers, the Philippines’ reputation as storm central has made it the best place to witness the power of nature.
Dr. Olavo Rasquinho, head of the Typhoon Committee office in Macau, said the Philippines, with its active weather and geological systems, has become a valuable source of knowledge for meteorologists and other scientists studying volcanoes, floods and people’s responses to them.
“The Philippines is a country prone to natural disasters. We have learned a lot from the Philippines and with Pagasa … The Philippines is the best laboratory for natural disasters,” Rasquinho said in a recent interview.
