Government records over the past 25-35 years on ten classes of environmental hazards – tropical cyclones, floods, landslides, volcanoes,
earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, pest infestations, health diseases, and “technological accidents” – were thus compiled and synthesized. Impact was measured in terms of fatalities, houses completely destroyed, and monetary costs of damages. Technological accidents, floods, tropical cyclones are the three most frequent disasters while
tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and droughts occur the least. In terms of Peso value, droughts, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are the most severe while pest outbreaks, landslides and health epidemics inflict the least monetary damages. Over the last 30 years or so, the costs of destructive floods, typhoons, and droughts appear to be generally
increasing over time, highlighting Filipinos’ increased vulnerability to these environmental threats.
Using the documented frequency and severity of environmental calamities in the country since 1970 and concepts suggested
by Wildavsky (1988), a new framework for national government response to hazard mitigation is proposed. Three generic strategies are identified: resiliency (droughts, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis), anticipation (typhoons, floods, pests) and prevention (landslides and health epidemics)

Three major factors contribute to this dichotomy. First, population dynamics combined with the lack of access to resources compels poor Filipinos to live and work in hazardous areas, discounting risk from extreme natural events to focus on daily needs. Second, the institutional setting of the country's disaster management within the military establishment makes it difficult, though not impossible, to focus and address the underlying causes of vulnerability. Third, existing modes of funding disaster expenditures are all biased towards immediate response rather than long-term risk-reduction. The implications of these findings to disaster management and research in the Philippines are identified.

Field, petrographic and geochemical data indicate that the more silicic syn-and post-caldera magmas have been influenced by intracrustal processes such as magma mixing and fractional crystallisation. However, the available data indicate that the Bicol rocks as a group exhibit relatively lower and less variable 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios (0.7036-0.7039) compared with many of the other subduction-related volcanics from the Philippine archipelago. The Pb isotope ratios of the Bicol volcanics appear to be unlike those of other Philippine arc segments. They typically plot within and below the data field for the Philippine
