Building construction in the Philippines (Geological Location)

`The geological location of a progect contributes to the aspects you must consider on building construction, it dictates on what kind of environment the building would stand, the type of soil and its compatibility on the project, and what possible catastrophes may occur. The Philippines is a tropical region, is in front of the pacific ocean, and is in the pacific rim of fire. The Philippines is a tropicl region, therefore its climate has only two seasons (rainy and sunny), meaning that the project must be ready on the posible extremities of this kind of climate (el-nino and la-nina). The Phillippines is in fron of the pacific ocean, therefore it is prone to tropical typhoons(19 typhoons per year), extreme weathers and tsunamis. The building must be strong enough for these circumstances. The Philippines is a part of the pacific rim of fire, it has 18 active volcanoes. Therefore it is prone to earthquakes and possible volcano eruptions. The building must be strong enough to stand in this circumstances. The Philippines has a very harsh environment due to its geological location,
