Typhoon Ketsana Anniversary in the Philippines

Eleven years ago, Typhoon Ondoy’s (Ketsana) wrath took the lives of hundreds of Filipinos, forced thousands out of their homes, and stripped people of properties and livelihood sources. To date, as the country commemorates the devastation of Typhoon Ondoy, groups and communities are standing up to demand climate justice.

Greenpeace Philippines is also joining the commemoration activity to renew its call for urgent actions to protect Filipinos from worsening impacts of the climate crisis.
