This is the 7th volume of Ambeth Ocampo's "Looking Back" series of essays on Philippine history.
"History shows that in the end, Filipinos do survive and overcome, but despite the twenty typhoons that ravage parts of the country every year, why are we not better prepared for the next one? Our long history of, and experience with, typhoons should make coping with disaster second-nature to us, but as Yolanda has shown, it is not history that repeats itself, rather it is we who repeat it." (from the Preface by Ambeth R. Ocampo)
