Philippines is an archipelago comprises of 7,107 islands when low tide. It's a tropical country and has a conservative culture. Since, it is a tropical country it observes only two seasons - Wet and Dry.
Dry season is finally over (February - April/May). Here comes the Wet Season which lasts for a couple to several months. This is also the season wherein familys' are tied-up with each member since they are confined to their houses. A time to get bond and discuss family matters to almost nothing topics. A time to rejoice and cook favorite meals.
This is also a season wherein everybody must take good care of their health since there will be mosquitos scattered everywhere causing different diseases such as dengue, malaria and etc. So extra care must be in placed. Must-Haves for this season are:
1. Anti - mosquito lotions or repellants.
2. Rain gear e.g. umbrella or rain-coat.
3. Drier - to dry out wet clothes
4. Multi-Vitamins
And definitely not to forget the all time favorite filipino rainy dishes such as champorado, sopas, tuyo, noodle -soup and etc. yum! yum! Can wait no more to get home and experience these.
Just a piece of an advise, it's cool to get wet by the rain but make sure before you do you are healthy and protected from any diseases brought about by the rain!
Hail to the rain and celebrate the cool breeze it brings!
