That is impossible to know. Predictions are calling for a near-normal to slightly above average typhoon season in 2014 overall, but these predictions have a high degree of uncertainty. Even then it is impossible to predict home many of the storms that do occur will head for the Philippines.
The Philippines is prone to typhoons and other natural disasters because it lies astride the typhoon belt, in the active volcanic region known as the "Pacific Ring of Fire," and in the geologically unstable region between the Pacific and Eurasian tectonic plates. It is a country surrounded by moist air, so the typhoon is able to feed on that. The typhoon also needs cold air. Once these are together, the air spins in circles. The typhoon is then formed. All the things that a typhoon needs are provided in and around the Philippines, resulting in several typhoons a year.
The amount of damage done by a typhoon or cyclone depends on many factors, not the least of which is the storm's path. In populated areas, especially in underdeveloped regions, casualties from flooding can become very high. Out of the approximately 1800 deaths during the 2011 typhoon season in the Pacific, nearly 1300 resulted from a weaker but rainier storm, Severe Tropical Storm Washi, that never reached typhoon status. Its floods destroyed more than 9000 homes in the Philippines. By contrast, the 8 typhoons of the season combined for only about 211 total deaths.
The most deadliest typhoon to hit Hong Kong was Typhoon Wanda in 1962. Typhoon Wanda had killed millions of people and destroyed many houses. It was very difficult to recover the damage of Typhoon Wanda.
The typhoon, officially named Haiyan, but unofficially nicknamed Yolanda in the Philippines, was upgraded recently to a "super typhoon". Meaning it has the same power as a category 5 hurricane. It is the fourth category 5 storm on this planet in this year alone. The typhoon is heading directly for central Philippines. However it is very difficult to predict the exact path, because the wind direction can change at any time. Cebu has been placed on high alert. All schools and government buildings have been shut down. People are panic-buying, causing many stores to shut down too due to completely running out of stock. The typhoon is predicted to hit land around the Samar-Leyte area on the 8th November 2013, around 10am local time. The US and British navy which is tracking the typhoon have predicted that the eye of the storm will be over Visayas at 2pm, November 8th (local time). Daanbantayan is in the far north of Cebu, they should not be affected too badly by the typhoon, but some damage will still likely be caused by the high winds as it passes.

Typhoon belt - means the part of the earth where there is many typhoon. (including Philippines)
The typhoon that hit the Philippines destroyed many towns and buildings.
A total of 1146 lives were claimed in the 2012 typhoon season, primarily caused by Typhoon Bopha. This was a category 5 super typhoon one of the strongest ever to hit the Philippines.
The part of the earth where there is many typhoons. (Including the Philippines)
Typhoon Bopha : 1,146 dead and 834 missing .

2080 as of August 2007
The landslides and severe flooding left at least 246 people dead and 38 others missing.

according to my research more than 1200 people survived the typhoon.
