00:00Oh no!
00:04Oh no!
00:08We need a rescue!
00:11It's raining here, it's raining there.
00:13And the wind is strong everywhere.
00:15Maybe those are the typhoons that are trying to protect us.
00:23Bucket list number 2.
00:25Why do typhoons have names?
00:27Typhoons have a local name when it enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility or PAR.
00:33For example, the Typhoon Kitsana in 2009 was called Bagyong Ondoy.
00:39The Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 was Bagyong Yolanda.
00:43And this 2021, there was a Typhoon Rai or Bagyong Odit.
00:48Compared to the international name, there are richer local names that we give to the typhoons.
00:53Do you know that only the Philippines gives local names to the typhoons aside from its international codename?
01:01Bucket list number 1.
01:03Why do typhoons often hit the Philippines?
01:06The geographic location of our country is in the Pacific Typhoon Belt.
01:11It's like this.
01:12Most of the typhoons in the world are formed in the Pacific Ocean, where the Philippines is located.
01:17That's why we are one of the first to welcome the typhoons.
01:22On average, there are 20 typhoons that visit the Philippines every year.
01:26And 6 to 9 typhoons directly hit the land.
01:30The food at home should be complete.
01:33The meds should also be complete because we can't buy them at the pharmacy because there's a fee.
01:38And you should have a pocket wifi.
01:40You should have a cell phone that can load everything.
01:42The typhoon, especially for the kids, should not have an entrance or no entrance.
01:48We should wait for the effect of the typhoon.
01:50Especially for those who live on the seaside, we should wait for the so-called storm surge report.
01:56That's why it's usually raining now.
01:58We should always be alert for possible typhoons.
02:02Always check for updates and be ready for any possible typhoons.
02:08Aha!
02:12Typhoon
