Which way do typhoons or Pacific storms travel is it always East to West or can they wrap around and enter the Gulf of Mexico?

In my experience, anything is possible in nature. The typical path is as you suggest, east to west off the west coast. That said, in 2004 it was either Hurricane Jeanne or Frances in the Atlantic Ocean that was heading due in a northerly direction and then turned about 300 degrees (doing an almost complete loop) and struct Florida.

Explain why Philippines is prone to tyhpoon?
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.
Where in the world does hurricane happens?

Where are typhoons found?
Cyclones form and occur in a variety of areas around the world. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the southern hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes. Cyclones are prevalent in humid, tropical, warm to hot regions. They require a minimum sea temperature of 26.5 degrees Celsius in order to form. They do not usually occur north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn as the sea temperature is not generally high enough to support the development of a cyclone. There are always exceptions, however, and in Australia they have been known to move south of the Tropic of Capricorn after forming further north. This is because they follow the warm water currents.
