    This document provides instructions for an activity where students plot the coordinates of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on a map and identify which typhoons have entered the PAR. The PAR is a zone surrounding the Philippines, Palau, Taiwan, and northern Borneo that the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration monitors for weather disturbances. Students are given the coordinates to plot the PAR boundary and locations of four nearby typhoons. They then analyze which typhoons have entered the PAR and why the agency monitors all typhoons near the Philippines.

    ACTIVITY 1

    H I T T H E M A R K :

    Plotting the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)

    The Philippine Area of responsibility (PAR) is a zone of the Earth’s surface surrounding the Philippines,
    Palau, Taiwan, and northern slope of Borneo. When a weather disturbance enters the PAR, the Philippine
    Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, PAGASA, monitors its activities. PAGASA
    will issue warnings and important information necessary for the protection of life and property. Do you know
    where the PAR is? To find this out, let’s do the following activity.

    I. OBJECTIVE/S:

    After carrying out this activity, you should be able to:


    1. tell if a typhoon has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, and
    2. explain what is meant when a typhoon has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

    II. MATERIALS:
     map of the Philippines and vicinity
     pencil
     Colorful Markers

    III. PROCEDURES:

    1. Plot the coordinates found in Table 1.1 on the map (see Figure 1).

    Table 1.1: Coordinates of the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

    Points Latitude Longitude


    a 5°N 115°E
    b 15°N 115°E
    c 21°N 120°E
    d 25°N 120°E
    e 25°N 135°E
    f 5°N 135°E

    2. Connect the plotted points (Use Red Marker). The region within is the Philippine Area of
    Responsibility or PAR.
    3. Plot the coordinates found in Table 1.2. Use the assigned colors and label the points accordingly.

    Table 1.2: Coordinates of the typhoon spotted near the Philippines.

    Typhoon Latitude Longitude

    Typhoon A (Blue) 23°N 135°E


    Typhoon B (Green) 6°N 132°E

    Typhoon C (Orange) 26°N 138°E

    Typhoon D (Violet) 11°N 138°E


    IV. ANALYSIS:

    1.Should the PAGASA monitor all spotted typhoon near the Philippines? Why yes? Why not?

    _________________________________________________________________________________

    2.How many of the spotted typhoon entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility? (Name all)
