What’s In
100
Have you gone treasure hunting? Where you able to find treasures? In today’s
activity, help me make a treasure map based on my Lolo’s tale. According to him, his
father once showed him where they hid a pot of gold coins and various crystals. The
details are described below.
Draw the path to the treasure using the grid lines below. Each grid line
represents 100-meter distance. Include symbols to your drawing to indicate
landmarks. Draw a broken line from one point to another. Mark the spot where the
treasure is with a big red “x” mark (x). Remember, you can use the sun as reference
to determine which side is right (east), left (west), forward (north), and backward
(south). The first path has been done for you.

Excellent! You have created a path towards the treasure. Plotting points known
as coordinates help us locate places and trace paths. On a map, this is done using
latitudes and longitudes. Recall what you’ve learned in Grade 7 on special lines of
latitude and longitude. Latitudes are imaginary horizontal lines that indicates the
distance north (above) or south (below) of the Equator. While, longitudes are
imaginary vertical lines that measures the distance east (right) or west (left) of the
Prime Meridian. The next activity will help us practice the skill of plotting points and
reading maps.

The coordinates in the previous activity show the boundaries of the Philippine
Area of Responsibility. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical
Services Administration (PAGASA) monitors this area to analyze and forecast tropical
cyclones. Have you ever wondered where tropical cyclones originate? What makes
it stronger? What can weaken tropical cyclones? Does it follow a specific direction?
Let us look at the paths of Tropical Depression Chedeng (March 17-29, 2019), Tropical
Depression Amang (January 19-21, 2019), and Typhoon Ompong (September 12-16,
2018) to know more about tropical cyclones. After which, you will be asked to plot the
path of Tropical Storm Sendong (December 13-19, 2011) using the coordinates
provided. Take note of the behavior of tropical cyclones as it moves over the waters
and when it falls on land.

Chedeng developed from a
tropical disturbance in the
Pacific Ocean. It was first noted
as low-pressure area (LPA) in
the afternoon of March 14. On
the next day at 8:00 AM, it
developed
into
Tropical
Depression (TD) with an
estimated maximum sustained
wind of 45 km/h and central
pressure of 1006 hPa. It entered
the PAR at 11:00 AM of March 17
while
it
generally
moved
westward. It changed its course
to generally west-southwestward
(Figure 2) before it made landfall
over Malita, Davao Occidental at
around 5:00 AM of March 19.
Shortly after its landfall, the TD
weakened into an LPA due to
land interaction and lack of
moisture
(DOST-PAGASA
Tropical Cyclone Report).
Amang was initially analyzed
as a LPA in the Pacific Ocean on
January 4, 2019. It moved slowly

second landfall over Salcedo, Eastern Samar at 7:30 AM of January 21. Then, it
gradually changed its course from northwestward to generally northward (Figure 3).
On 5:00 PM of January 21, Amang weakened into LPA while it was located east of
Catarman, Northern Samar (DOST-PAGASA Tropical Cyclone Report).

AM on September
9, Ompong intensified into a severe tropical storm (STS) while traversing the
Pacific Ocean. The STS continued to move westward. Then, at 2:00 PM, Ompong
had reached typhoon (TY) intensity. The typhoon continued moving generally
westward while gradually increasing in intensity. At around 8:00 AM on September
11, the typhoon reached its peak intensity of 205 km/h and maintained its intensity as
it entered the PAR on September 12 at 3:00 PM. While inside the PAR, Figure 4 shows
Ompong gradually started its gradual transition from westward to a more westnorthwestward movement as it moves along the periphery of the weaker portion of the
high pressure area. The typhoon made landfall over Baggao, Cagayan at 1:40 AM
on September 15. Interaction with the rugged terrain of Northern Luzon caused
the typhoon to weaken significantly. Ompong left the landmass of Luzon at around
10:00 AM on September 15 and then left the PAR later that day at 9:00 PM with an
estimated maximum sustained wind of 145 km/h and gustiness of up to 165 km/h. The
typhoon continued northwestward towards Southern China where it made landfall
(DOST-PAGASA Tropical Cyclone Report).
Now it’s your turn to plot the path of Tropical Storm (TS) Sendong. Use the
data in Table 2 to track the location of TS Sendong. Refer to the Month/Day/Time

Try to answer the following questions. If you find it too difficult, you can always
go back and look for the answers in the previous pages.
In what ocean did the tropical cyclones develop?
In what direction do the tropical cyclones generally move?
What causes the movement of cyclones in this direction?
6
How do tropical cyclones weaken?
What causes the increase in intensity of tropical cyclones?
What do you think would the people in Baggao, Cagayan experience when Ompong
made landfall?
Can tropical cyclones be beneficial? Why or why not?
What is It
The activities you have completed allowed you to trace the path of tropical
cyclones that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). In combination with
what you’ve learned in the previous module on how tropical cyclones develop, you
were able to understand the behavior of tropical cyclones.
There are at least 20 tropical cyclones that enter the country. As you have
observed, the location of the Philippines makes it prone to experience typhoons. The
country is located just above the equator, along the west Pacific Ocean, where it
receives enough heating from the sun, causing the surrounding bodies of water to
warm up. This leads to the development of low-pressure areas which eventually turns
into tropical cyclones.
Thus, it is important to stay informed about the weather. The government
agency responsible for monitoring and forecasting on the weather and other
climatological conditions of the country is the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical,
and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), which is under the
Department of Science and Technology (DOST). They conduct studies on the
formation, development, and movement of typhoons to help lessen the negative
effects (hazards) brought about by typhoons. They also issue weather bulletins and
advisories every 6 hours when tropical cyclones enter the PAR and is believed to hit
land. When the tropical cyclone is not expected to make landfall, they release weather
bulletins every 12 hours.
When tropical cyclones stay/cross warm waters, it intensifies as it is
continuously supplied by rising warm air and high humidity. Upon reaching
landfall, it weakens as it faces cool dry air and move over large land mass. The
mountain ranges and forest rich in trees increase the friction encountered by
tropical cyclones causing it to weaken and block the moisture in the wind making
the air masses dry. Additionally, its strength lessens as it travels over cooler sea
surface temperature and move to regions with high vertical wind shear. Generally,
tropical cyclones move in a westward direction along with the prevailing wind
systems. This often spares Central and Southern Mindanao from typhoons but is
still susceptible to weather disturbances which may bring more rain because of the
surrounding bodies of water.
7
PAGASA releases Public Storm Warning Signals (PSWS) based on the
intensity, size, circulation, the forecast direction, and wind speed of the tropical
cyclone. You will learn more about this in the next activity.

Prepare 2 sets of PSWS, Hazard, and Benefit Cards for one to three players
and 4 sets for four to six players. To start the game, each player picks a Player Info
card. This will serve as your identity throughout the game. You can use a maximum of
four (4) coins/pebbles to serve as investments in banana trees, coconut trees, and
crops. Assign one (1) coin as your house. Five (5) coins will serve as extras and will
be used when a Benefit Card is drawn.
Stack the PSWS Cards, Hazard Cards, and Benefits Cards separately. The
PSWS Cards indicate the effects of a tropical cyclone. This will affect your
investments. Remove as many investments as indicated in the damage (i.e., Damage:
3 = remove 3 coin/pebble investments). The Hazard Cards shows the negative effects
of tropical cyclones. This will affect your house based on its location (i.e., Storm Surge
= remove houses on the shore). The Benefit Cards show the positive effects of tropical
cyclones. When played, this will allow you to add one (1) investment coin or one (1)
house coin.
To start the game, flip the plastic cup. If it lands on its side
, draw one PSWS
card. If it lands on its mouth , draw one Hazard card. If it lands on its base , draw
one Benefit card. Take turns flipping the plastic cup and reading the effects of tropical
cyclones. The game ends when all players have used up their extra five (5) coins. The
player with the greatest number of investments and houses wins.
What strategies did you use to win the game?
How much did you initially spend on investments?
Do you think it’s wise to have plenty of investments initially or is it better to save for
rainy days? Why?
What made you lose?
Which type of card (PSWS, Hazard, Benefit) was played the most?
What does this tell you about the frequency of tropical cyclones?
Even though our region is not usually hit by tropical cyclones, we can still experience
the same hazards such as heavy rainfall, what can you do to lessen the impact on
your investments/home?
