Final answer:
Tectonic activity in the Philippines necessitates preparedness despite recent absence of deaths due to volcanic eruptions.

Even though there were no deaths in the Philippines due to volcanic eruptions between 2008 and 2018, the history of catastrophic events in the wider region highlights the importance of preparedness and mitigation strategies against such natural disasters.
