By daomisyel -

The summer season in the Philippines typically begins in March and lasts until May or June. It is a time when the weather is hot and humid, with occasional thunderstorms and rain showers. Despite the heat, Filipinos look forward to summer as it is a time for vacations, fiestas, and outdoor activities.



One of the most popular destinations during the summer season in the Philippines is the beach. The country is known for its beautiful white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. Some of the most famous beach destinations in the Philippines include Boracay, Palawan, and Siargao. These places offer a wide range of activities such as swimming, snorkeling, diving, and island hopping.


Aside from the beach, many Filipinos also flock to the mountains during the summer season. Hiking and camping are popular activities in the Philippines, and there are many trails and mountains to explore. Some of the most popular mountain destinations include Mt. Pulag, Mt. Pinatubo, and Mt. Batulao. These mountains offer breathtaking views, challenging hikes, and a chance to reconnect with nature.


Summer in the Philippines is also a time for fiestas and festivals. Many cities and towns celebrate their patron saint during the summer months, with parades, street dances, and cultural shows. Some of the most famous festivals in the Philippines include the Ati-Atihan Festival in Aklan, the Sinulog Festival in Cebu, and the Pahiyas Festival in Quezon.


Food is also an important part of summer in the Philippines. Many Filipinos enjoy refreshing treats such as halo-halo, a dessert made with shaved ice, sweet beans, fruits, and milk. Grilled food such as barbeque and seafood are also popular during the summer months. Mangoes, one of the most famous fruits in the Philippines, are in season during the summer months, and many Filipinos enjoy them fresh or in various dishes.


Despite the fun and excitement that comes with summer in the Philippines, it is important to stay hydrated and protect oneself from the sun's harmful rays. Sunscreen, hats, and lightweight clothing are recommended for those spending time outdoors. It is also important to stay informed about the weather and to take precautions during thunderstorms and typhoons.


Summer in the Philippines is a time for fun, relaxation, and celebration. 


From the beach to the mountains, there are many destinations and activities to enjoy. Filipinos look forward to this season every year, and it is a time to create memories with family and friends.
