Disasters have always been a big problem for the Philippines whether it would be natural or freak accidents. It has also been something a lot of people mourn about since it would either destroy their homes or kill their loved ones and sometimes even both. The most recent natural disaster that has happened in Parañaque would be the flood that happened due to the southwest monsoon which took place on Saturday August 4 up to August 11, 2012. The area in Parañaque greatly affected by the flood would be SM Sucat. It was reported to be waist deep as of 7:20 am by the MMDA's twitter account on AUgust 7, 2012. Another recent disaster would be the cargo plane crashing down into a "shantytown" sometime during December 2011. The cargo plane was supposedly headed to San Jose, Occidental Mindoro to pick up a cargo of seafood. But unfortunately when it crashed, it hit one house then it suddenly caught fire and ended up setting a row of small houses on fire killing 13 people.
