To everyone in the #Philippines, especially foreigners and those planning to visit our beautiful country, make it a habit to:
___Bring a liter of water at all times.___
The heat index (or feels like) is now at 38°C (I don't know what it is in °F we don't use that). This is still, actually, cool for us locals.
In the coming weeks, and months, it might go up as high as 45°C, like it did in the last few years (even without #ElNiño). 42°C – 45°C is what we locals consider very hot, and there are locals who collapses, or die, because if heat exhaustion.
Now, if you're a foreigner who came from colder countries, you definitely are not accustomed to this weather. So, don't even dare assume "you can do it". Bring water with you at all times, especially if you have existing conditions.
Mineral water is highly recommended, preferably between pH8 and pH10 (alkaline levels). Distilled/purified water are below pH6 (acidic levels). Of course, if your doctor said you can not drink alkaline/mineral water, then don't. Especially people who can't process minerals.
