The document discusses the geography and climate of the Philippines. It describes the different seasons - wet and dry - and how the climate varies between different islands due to geography. Popular outdoor activities are mentioned, such as surfing in Siargao during the wet season from October to January, visiting hot springs in Sorsogon for their soothing temperatures, and going spelunking or cave exploring in Sagada during the wet season when the cave systems fill with flowing water.

9. The entire archipelago is still
subdivided into four climatic types due
to differences in geography and and
distances between the islands. So it is
possible that while it is raining hard in
boracay you can still get a tan in
Caramoan or Siargao.

12. Choco River, Kalinga.
Tibiao River, Antique
Most white river rafting organizers prefer rainy season since the water in the river
is high and the rapids are wilder. You will appreciate the rapids more during this
time because on summer and dry season, most rivers become unraftable thus
making it impossible for this type of sport . The popular white water rafting sites in
the Philippines are in Kalinga, Cagayan de Oro, and Davao.

13. Siargao
Ride the waves. Heavy wind and rains mean one thing for these
board-toting dudes and dudettes: Surf’s up! From Aurora to
Siargao, the swells are highest from October to January.

14. Irosin, Sorsogon
Take a hot dip. For a hint of nostalgia, visit the classic hot springs of
Calamba, Sorsogon, and even North Cotabato. Since the rains bring with it a
nice chill, the soothing temperature is the perfect counter to the weather.

15. Spelunking
This is the time of the year when the dry caves come to life with the flowing water inside
making it a really great time to go spelunking. Whether you are a newbie or an experienced
one, head on the caves of sagada in Mt. Province, Peñablanca in Cagayan, Calbiga in Samar,
Kasibu in Nueva Vizcaya, Sagada and explore their wondrous caves systems.

17. Quick Facts
• Over 1,270 similarly cone-shaped hills creating a sea of hills over 20 square miles (50 sq km)
• Located in Bohol, Philippines
• Heights typically range from 98 to 160 feet (30 to 50 m) with the highest reaching 390 feet (120 m)
A visit to the Chocolate Hills Natural Monument in Bohol, Philippines is like a visit to a land where
Hershey Chocolate Kisses are created for giants, except for the fact that at this natural mossy wonder
of the world you will need to bring your own chocolate if you are looking for a tangible treat. However,
for those looking for an experience of a lifetime the natural beauty of Chocolate Hills will not
disappoint with its approximate 1500 mounds that are covered in grassy limestone. During the dry
season the grass on the cone mounds browns and resembles rows of chocolate ripe for the picking.
This coincidentally is also one of the best times of the year to visit the Chocolate Hills if you want to
stay dry during your visit since there is a constant influx of precipitation during the rainy season.

19. Fast Facts
A trip to a paradise island with the finest coral white sand, crystal-clear water and
romantic sunsets...
Boracay Island lies at the most western point of the region of Western Visayas; located
at the north-western tip of Panay Island. At 30 degrees latitude and 121 degrees
longitude and 350 kilometres south of Manila, the island has an area of 1,083 hectares
and is seven kilometres long. The narrowest spot in the middle part of the island is only
one kilometre wide and flat. The Northern and Southern part of Boracay are hilly with
the highest elevation at 100 meters above sea level. Today the island has
approximately 16,000 inhabitants (1999). Boracay belongs to the municipality of Malay
in Aklan province and consists of three villages or barangays; Yapak in the North,
Balabag in the centre and Manoc-Manoc in the South.

21. Together with the rest of the Philippines, Manila lies entirely within the tropics.
Its proximity to the equator means that the temperature range is very small,
rarely going below 20 °C (68 °F) or above 38 °C (100 °F) . However, humidity
levels are usually very high all year round. It has a distinct dry season from
late December through May, and a relatively lengthy and cooler wet season
that covers the remaining period with mild to warm temperatures. In the rainy
season it rarely rains all day but the rainfall is very heavy during short periods.
Typhoons can occur from June to September and can cause flooding in parts
of the city.

23. One activity that is highly recommended is strawberry picking at the Strawberry Farm in
the nearby La Trinidad, Benguet. A unique experience for the whole family, you get to pick
fresh strawberries -- right alongside the Ibaloi farmers -- to bring home or consume while on
vacation in the Summer Capital of the Philippines.
Located just 30 minutes from Baguio City, Strawberry Farm "opens it doors" for the activity from
November to May every year. The rates for strawberry picking vary. In general, it costs twice
the market price to pick your own strawberries, which folks find strange, especially those who
have tried apple or orange picking in orchards in other countries thinking they provide "free
labor.“
All in all, strawberry picking "Baguio style" is an experience well worth it as it is the stuff that
warm childhood memories are made of -- priceless even!
