The Philippines was recently been hit by a triple whammy – terrorism, earthquake and tropical storm, in that order. All with dire consequences for businesses and lives. All occurring just weeks ahead of each other.

These events may have occurred in different places, but the intensity of each is almost the same in magnitude – whole cities or provinces were desolated; The effects and consequences for businesses: prolonged work stoppages.

Except for the terrorism, these natural phenomenon are a regular occurrence.  The Philippines is situated in the so-called Pacific Rim of Fire, together with Japan, Vietnam and China in the Western Pacific. It extends up to the Eastern Pacific where the US West Coast is located running down the whole length of the Pacific rim of Central and South America. Within this region tropical storms and earthquakes are to be expected at any time (another is volcanic eruption), sometimes with the kind of magnitude that is immensely devastating.
