The Philippines do not have it easy. They regularly get hit by massive typhoons, they have a host of dangerously explosive volcanoes, they have a large coastal population that is being affected by sea level rise, the whole place is overpopulated and is Third World poor (sorry, but true); they don't have a great deal of natural resources, and they have environmental and pollution problems.
I hadn't heard about this until recently, but Typhoon Megi (also called Odette) caused flooding and deadly landslides in April.
This was a major landslide caused by Megi.
