What’s In
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.
• Lolo recalls they started walking at sunrise . I know the sun rises in the east (right).
• From Mang Caloy’s house , they walked 2000 m towards the right.
• When they reached the forest , they walked forward about 500 m towards
the tallest mango tree .
• They then walked another 400 m to the left, until they reached a stream .
• From here, they walked 1000 m towards a coconut tree .
• When you climb the coconut tree, you will see a cave 500 m forward.
• When you enter the cave, walk 300 m to the right then walk 700 m backwards. Mark this spot with an x.

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 westward and entered the PAS as an LPA at 10:00 AM of January 19. It was estimated that the LPA developed into a TD at 8:00 PM of January 19 with estimated maximum winds of 45 km/h. On January 20 at around 8:00 PM Amang made its first landfall over Siargao Island, Surigao del Norte. After its landfall, it continued to move northwestward and made its

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).
Ompong
developed from
an area of low
pressure situated
over the Pacific
Ocean in the
evening of
September 7,
2018. Twelve
hours later, it
reached tropical
storm (TS)
intensity. Ompong
maintained a
steady westward
pace due to the
influence of high
pressure situated
to the north of the
system. At 2:00
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 west-
northwestward 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
column and follow the sequence of locations. Plot the coordinates on the map provided
(Figure 5). You may use Figure 2 to Figure 4 as reference.

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.

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.
What’s More
As you relax with your family, invite them to perform the next activity with you.
You may also perform the activity alone. Make copies of the game cards below based
on the number of players. Prepare ten (10) one-peso coins or pebbles per player and
one plastic cup.
For one to three players you only need 1 set of player info cards. For four to six players you need 2 sets of player info cards.
PSWS 1 Wind Speed: 30-60 kph Expected Occurrence Time: ≥ 36 hr Damage: 1 Trees: twigs and branches (small trees) Banana Tree: tilt or uprooted Coconut Tree: no effect House: few nipa partially unroofed Crops: flowering rice may suffer significant damage
PSWS 2 Wind Speed: 60-100 kph Expected Occurrence Time: ≥ 24 hr Damage: 3 Trees: few big trees uprooted Banana Tree: fall Coconut Tree: tilt or break House: most nipa maybe unroofed; some old galvanized iron roofs peeled off Crops: corn and rice badly affected Community: Light to Moderate Damage
PSWS 3 Wind Speed: 100-185 kph Expected Occurrence Time: ≥ 18 hr Damage: 5 Trees: large number of big trees uprooted Banana Tree: almost all are destroyed Coconut Tree: a number destroyed House: majority nipa unroofed or destroyed; light to medium construction damaged Crops: corn and rice heavy damage Other: electrical power, communication and internet disruption Community: Moderate to Heavy Damage
PSWS 4 Wind Speed: >185 kph Expected Occurrence Time: ≥ 12 hr Damage: 7 Trees: almost all big trees uprooted Banana Tree: all are uprooted Coconut Tree: widespread damage House: severe damage to majority of structures (residential and buildings) Crops: corn and rice severe losses Other: electrical power, communication and internet severely disrupted Community: Heavy Damage

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?
Benefit Contribute 40 to 50% rains in the annual rainfall
distribution of the country
Benefit Normally
triggers the onset of the rainy season
Benefit Stirs stagnant lakes, rivers,
and bays
Benefit Helps
replenish empty dams and water reservoirs
Benefit Ceases warm
conditions especially in
dry areas

OUR EDEN LAND
Here the trees and flowers bloom, Here the breezes gently blow, Here the birds sing merrily, And liberty forever stays, Here the Badjaos swam the seas, Here the Samals live in peace, Here the Tausogs thrive so free, With the Yakans in unity. Gallant men And Ladies fair, Linger with love and care,
Golden beams of sunrise and sunset, Are visions you’ll never forget. Oh! That’s Region IX... Hardworking people abound, Every valley and dale Zamboangenos, Tagalogs, Bicolanos, Cebuanos, Ilocanos, Subanens, Boholanos, Illongos, All of them are proud and true Region IX our Eden Land.
Region IX, our Eden
Land.
