Using positive psychology as a framework for understanding community survival and resilience in disaster situations, we examined the positive characteristics among members of a community that was severely affected by the typhoon. Based on focus group discussions, ten positive characteristics were identified as both resources and outcomes in the disaster experience. These were: (1) pakikibagay sa kalikasan, (2) malasakit, (3) bayanihan, (4) tiwala, (5) pagtitiis, (6) pagkamasayahin at palabiro, (7) lakas ng loob at tapang sa gitna ng takot, (8) pagkamapamaraan, (9) pasasalamat, and (10) pananalig sa Diyos, Results were discussed in the light of positive action and future implications for capacity-building in disaster management and interventions.
