Ooh, disasters.

Ayala Alabang is built on solid and high ground, and as such, floods are not common in the village. However, high ground does not stop trees from falling on houses, and houses have no escape against strong winds.
  • ·         Typhoon Milenyo (September 2006)
This typhoon’s effects were seen all through-out the village. Trees along the main road (Madrigal) were destroyed, bent and broke because of the intensity of the wind and rains.
  • ·         Typhoon Ondoy (September 2009)
Typhoon Ondoy, which caused destruction late 2009, brought hardships even to the village. Houses were destroyed, and visiting families stranded. A blackout was experienced during the strongest day of Ondoy.
  • ·         Hanging Habagat (August 2012)
The village was mostly safe during this monsoon, but there was a mixture of short blackouts and strong winds that sent cable wires and trees toppling to the ground.
