Yes, the Philippines' location on the Pacific Ring of Fire and its tropical climate makes it prone to earthquakes and typhoons.
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 Philippines lie in the direct path of Pacific typhoons so the islands are flooded regularly. The nation also lies in the Ring of Fire making it prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The geography of the Philippines affects the weather and therefore affects its people. Its position gives it a wet and dry season and makes it prone to typhoons. It's also located in the Ring of Fire, an area known for volcanoes and earthquakes.
yes
About 50% of the rainfall in the Philippines is caused by tropical depressions, tropical storms and typhoons. If there were no phenomena of this type the Philippines would suffer great shortage of water.

The Philippines experience: typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and all the associated effects like flooding, crop damage etc.
During the 2006 season, eleven typhoons entered the Philippines. Of those, 8 were super typhoons. Six tropical storms or tropical depressions hit the Philippines in 2006, in addition to the typhoons.
Chile is highly prone to earthquakes

Consisting of over seven thousand islands, experiencing near daily earthquakes, and being located on the Ring of Fire, the Philippines are extremely vulnerable to the damage that can be inflicted by tsunamis.
