     @luthien1126 Those in Cagayan region will survive it. Thanks to their ancestors who turned their mountains into plain lands, they're so used to extreme heat. :p

     Regions 1 to 3 are very prone to extreme heat. When I was living in Angeles City in 2021, it is hotter there by a few degrees than in NCR. Crazy. You would think it would be cooler up north, with all the open areas, farm lands, mountains, and less concrete and asphalt roads.

     But nope, it's the reverse.

     The wind blowing into Angeles coming from North-East, were so freaking hot. Locals I talked to, and even those from Tarlac and nearby provinces (workmates), explained that the wind actually came from Cagayan, and is blowing towards Angeles City and nearby regions of Pampanga.

     I've never experienced scorching wind in NCR, such as those I've felt in Angeles City.

     (Despite that, I still want to go back to Angeles, LOL. Still a better place to live than NCR.)
