Thanks for your concern on our country! But I would like to clarify that Philippines is an Asian country but we are kind of different from China or Indonesia. The typhoon that devastated in our country last year known for its International name typhoon Haiyan but that is too Asian, the Philippines is a Latin country too due to Spanish influence so we don't call this typhoon as Haiyan but storm Glenda..okay then the typhoon hagupit already left our country this year and the new typhoon is not hagupit but typhoon Ruby!!...Please stop treating our country as too Asian we are also a Latin nation too. Okay!!!
