It caused widespread destruction, leveling many homes and killing over 6,000 people across the Visayas region. The author was particularly struck by footage showing coconut trees stripped bare by the storm's powerful winds. While the typhoon had massive economic and agricultural impacts, it also showed how other countries support the Philippines in times of crisis through financial aid and relief efforts. As Filipinos, the people will never forget the devastation of Super Typhoon Haiyan but are known to come together and remain resilient through disasters.

    Haiyan: A Monstrous Disaster of the Century

    On the 8th day of November in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan made land fall in the
    Philippines. It laid waste to the Visayas group of islands especially in Leyte. Typhoon Haiyan
    was the most powerful storm in 2013 and one of the most powerful of all time.

    In the video entitled the "Typhoon Haiyan Eye of the Storm" it is shown in there that how
    this typhoon devastated the entire Philippines especially in the Visayas where the eye of the
    storm hit. The scene that caught me most was when I saw on the video that the coconut
    trees got "bald" due to the strong winds brought by Typhoon Haiyan. I cannot imagine when
    that kind of wind will hit me and I cannot definitely survived and I guess that I will die by that.
    The strong winds brought by Haiyan have effect also on the infrastructure were many
    houses were blown away into pieces and got junk. The typhoon also got a large devastating
    effect on the agriculture and the economy, other businessman proclaims inflation and others,
    prize freeze. Many were not able to secure their stores and causes looting.

    There are more than 14 million people affected by the Super Typhoon Haiyan. As
    we can see on the video that even the producer of it is a foreigner which means that even
    the other country is looking for us and their concerns are definitely in us. Other countries
    have also helped us by giving us financial supports, relief goods, and their concerns where
    there for us and know we are not left behind.

    But still, we are Filipinos and we are known for being happy in the different part of
    wheels. Like when a disaster hit us, still we are in the case of being positive but we cannot
    say that it is definitely happy but the grief and blue are also there due to the lives were taken
    away the typhoon. Many are drowned, bind by the fallen concrete walls, trees and wood,
    blood bath, hunger, and etc. have existed in the reign of the Super Typhoon Haiyan.

    As a Filipino, this event, the reign of the all time powerful storm “Super Typhoon
    Haiyan” or also known as “Super Typhoon Yolanda will mark in our minds and heart forever.
    Many died, many tears where shed of to the ground, many is devastated, But we will be still
    us, a Filipino who will know how to smile and be positive in times of a disaster. We are
    Filipino and we do “Bayanihan”.
