Natural resources are naturally occurring in the world such as water or wood, but human-made resources are man made like electricity. Human resources refer to people.

The province of Palawan in the Philippines is less frequently affected by typhoons compared to other parts of the country. Its location in the western part of the Philippines shields it from the usual path of typhoons that come from the Pacific Ocean.

The Philippines does not currently have any operating tidal power plants. However, there are potential sites for tidal energy projects in areas like the San Bernardino Strait and Surigao Strait, which have strong tidal currents suitable for generating electricity.

Gregorio Zara, a Filipino physicist, is known for his discovery of the Law of Electrical Kinetic Resistance. In addition to being known as discovering the Zara effect, he also invented the videophone and an airplane engine that uses alcohol as fuel.

The National Museum of the Philippines is a government institution responsible for the preservation of the country's cultural and historical heritage. It houses a vast collection of artifacts, artworks, and other important cultural materials. The museum seeks to promote awareness and appreciation of the country's rich cultural heritage.

Diosdado "Dado" Banatao, a Filipino-American physicist and entrepreneur, is known for his pioneering contributions to the development of semiconductors and chips. He is considered a pioneer in the Silicon Valley, having founded several successful tech companies and helped advance the field of computer technology. Banatao has also been actively involved in promoting technology entrepreneurship in the Philippines through various initiatives and investments.

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.

January is typically the coldest month in the Philippines, as it falls in the middle of the dry season when temperatures are generally lower. However, the country doesn't experience extreme cold weather due to its location near the equator.

The Philippines islands are on a subduction zone so are earthquake prone

Situated on the western fringes of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity. The Benham Plateau to the east in the Philippine Sea is an undersea region active in tectonic subduction. Around 20 earthquakes are registered daily, though most are too weak to be felt. The last major earthquake was the 1990 Luzon earthquake.

There are many active volcanoes such as the Mayon Volcano, Mount Pinatubo, and Taal Volcano. The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in June 1991 produced the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century

The top ten most used metals in the world are iron, aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, nickel, tin, magnesium, titanium, and chromium. These metals are widely used in various industries for manufacturing and construction purposes.

Region 12 in the Philippines, also known as the Soccsksargen region, has a total land area of approximately 1.9 million hectares. The region is composed of four provinces: South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, and Sarangani, as well as the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Tacurong, and Kidapawan.

The Philippines is responding to climate change by implementing various policies and initiatives, such as the National Climate Change Action Plan, to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The country is also increasing efforts in disaster risk reduction and management, promoting renewable energy sources, and working towards meeting its commitments under the Paris Agreement. Additionally, there are campaigns to raise awareness and engage communities in climate change adaptation and resilience-building measures.

Some examples of Filipino beliefs include superstitions about ghosts and spirits, such as not sweeping at night to avoid sweeping away good luck, as well as beliefs in the power of amulets and talismans to ward off evil spirits.
