ABSTRACT: Earlier papers, presentations, research works, and reports related to wind loading and/or wind environmental issues in the Philippines are first summarized. Recent developments in 2006 related, first, to dynamic wind loading of lattice towers, and second, to damages due to the passage of Typhoon Milenyo (International Name: Xangsane) are next presented. Lastly, some wind environment issues in the Philippines are briefly discussed.
