The Philippines is no stranger to typhoons. In fact, as many as 20 typhoons hit our little island nation each year, simply because of geographic location. This week, Central Luzon was lambasted by Typhoon Ulysses with its strong winds leaving trees uprooted, house and areas flooded, and thousands homeless.
Here are some ways to #staysafe when storm sets in your area.
