Only in the Philippines!

After the onslaught of typhoon "Ondoy" that devastated many lives in the Metro Manila area, a new super typhoon is again coming this way in the Philippines. Most people who are affected by the last typhoon that submerged parts of Metro Manila has not yet recovered from their losses are now facing another super typhoon "Pepeng"(Parma)which is estimated to hit grounds tomorrow wich brings stron winds and hopefully not much rain as the previous typhoon.

Pepeng is the 16th weather disturbance that hit the Philippines this year. The country has not yet recovered from the devastation caused by tropical storm "Ondoy (Ketsana)," which claimed at least 277 lives and damaged close to P5 billion worth of infrastructure and agricultural crops.

A category 5, the highest tropical cyclone level, based on the Saffir-Simpson Scale that packs minimum sustained winds of 250 kph.

Meanwhile, Pagasa weather forecaster Mario Palafox said a tropical depression (international codename "Melor") which is following Pepeng is still outside Philippine territory and is unlikely to enhance the typhoon.

We just hope that this time it will not bring as much rain as the previous typhoon and people are more prepared for this one to arrive.
