1. In the Philippines, tropical cyclone or typhoon is commonly known as bagyo.
2. The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is responsible in raising public storm warning signals to typhoons. It also gives local names to typhoons that enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

Answer:
1In the Philippine languages, tropical cyclones are generally called bagyo. Typhoons usually move east to west across the country, heading north or west as they go.
2Oceans and seas have great influence on the weather of continental masses. A large portion of the solar energy reaching the sea-surface is expended in the process of evaporation. These water evaporated from the sea/ocean is carried up into the atmosphere and condenses, forming clouds from which all forms of precipitation result. Sometimes, intense cyclonic circulations occur which is what we call the tropical cyclones.

Sometimes, intense cyclonic circulations occur which is what we call the tropical cyclones.Tropical cyclones are warm-core low pressure systems associated with a spiral inflow of mass at the bottom level and spiral outflow at the top level. They always form over oceans where sea surface temperature, also air temperatures are greater than 26°C. The air accumulates large amounts of sensible and latent heat as it spirals towards the center. It receives this heat from the sea and the exchange can occur rapidly, because of the large amount of spray thrown into the air by the wind. The energy of the tropical cyclone is thus derived from the massive liberation of the latent heat of condensation.
