    Filipinos are so resilient and they do not seem to let anything like bad weather or storms get them down. On the beaches here in the US once it starts raining on the beach everyone runs.

    I’m from Florida and we know how to prepare for storms and hurricanes. You should put everything above the bar to under the bar. Don’t throw away all the boxes the booze came in, use them to put the bottles in there. Put the boxes in the bar to hold it down. The chairs and bar stools can be stacked up double and tie them all together to form a big mass of weight to hold them down so they don’t fly around and destroy other things. Have the windows all boarded up. Buy a lot of long sturdy ropes. Good to have them around. When tying the chairs, make sure you make a loop into the chair before tying to another one . The tables, tie the legs together also for weight.

    • @thefilipinojoe
      @thefilipinojoe 7 місяців тому +8

      The typhoons aren’t so bad for those who have a quality built modern home, but unfortunately that isn’t the case with a lot of homes in the Philippines. Luckily, cheap construction usually means cheap repairs, even if you have to rebuild. Not at all like the expensive construction and repairs or rebuilding in the west. I didn’t realize this until going through Typhoon Odette in 2021. I was seriously traumatized by the destruction, including lots of trees blown over, because of my western thinking, but then I saw afterwards how easily people fixed or rebuilt their (inexpensive) homes, and I realized I had seriously overreacted (due to my western thinking). Poor people can experience a serious financial hardship due to the costs associated with repairing or rebuilding, but that has to do with not having any extra money, not the costs, which are relatively low.

His beach can possibly be a floodzone if they experience a very strong typhoon but that’s rare and seeing that the property is lifted, I think he should be fine but he needs to reinforce his structures in case there’s a strong typhoon.

    Unfortunately that is not a big storm. That's just a windy day here in Melbourne.
    Hoping you can finish your renovation soon and make it strong.
    Being on the coast like that puts you in the danger zone when a real storm rolls in.
    You are the first contact or the powerful winds when they barrel in from the open ocean.
    Crossing fingers that your business survives mother natures fury.
    A better option would have been a full concrete/hollow block construction.
    They tend to survive heavy winds better than bamboo structures.
    All the best mate.👍
