We all know that Filipinos are resilient when it comes to these situations. But after the disaster, is it easy for the people to recover from the damages caused by disaster?
In the year 2003, the Philippines experienced Typhoon Yolanda that caused more than 6000 deaths and left 35.5 Billion Pesos of damage. It isn't easy to recover from calamities like what happened on the victims of Yolanda because right after the calamity, financial support is needed to bring back the damaged goods.
