There were some days in your life when you wished you could predict how the weather turns out at the end of the day. Days that were far too important and special to be simply ruined by an uninviting heavy rain. Wouldn’t it be amazingly perfect to have a romantic dinner under the canopy of the stars?

For a person who lived all his life in the Philippines, or in any tropical place, an automatic yes to all these questions provides a colorful discussion of the country’s unpredictable but wonderful weather and temperature.

This in turn has affected the common laid-back lifestyle found in almost every household. The unhurried and relaxed way of life always raises the issue, here and abroad, about the country's productivity and efficiency.
