<P> The Philippines' evident risk to natural disasters is due to its location . Being a country that lies in the Pacific Ring of Fire, it is prone to earthquake and volcanic eruptions . In addition, the country is surrounded by large bodies of water and faces the Pacific Ocean where 60% of the world's typhoons are made . One of the most devastating typhoons that hit the Philippines in 2013 was Typhoon Haiyan, or "Yolanda", that killed over 10,000 people and destroyed over a trillion pesos worth of properties and damage to various sectors . Other environmental problems that the country is facing include pollution, illegal mining and logging, deforestation, dynamite fishing, landslides, coastal erosion, wildlife extinction, global warming and climate change . </P> <P> Although water resources have become scarce in some regions and seasons, the Philippines as a whole has more than enough surface and groundwater . However, neglecting to have a coherent environmental policy has led to the contamination of 58% of the groundwater in the Philippines . The main source of pollution is untreated domestic and industrial wastewater . Only one third of Philippine river systems are considered suitable for public water supply . </P>
