The Philippines is in the golden of infrastructure, where roads and bridges are being constructed to connect cities and provinces across the country. Unfortunately, natural disasters significantly affect the susceptibility of road infrastructures. In 2021, natural disaster damage cost 60 billion pesos. However, natural disasters that harm transportation infrastructure should be assessed financially. This study examined the Philippines' 1-year disaster data to determine which natural disasters caused the most financial damage to road infrastructure to help authorities develop a mitigation plan.
