Anna is an American traveller. She cannot tolerate the winter in her country so
she decided to visit the Philippines. When she arrived, she stayed first in Metro Manila
where she suddenly felt temperature changes. So, she decided to move to Baguio to feel
the cold weather. While traversing the winding roads up to the mountain top, she felt the
cold winds. She was amazed because it is much cooler there than in Metro Manila. After
staying there for a few hours, she opted to travel farther north and went to Cagayan.
Unfortunately, there was a typhoon during her stay. She observed that the people were
not badly affected due to Sierra Madre’s mountain ranges. After the typhoon, she headed
to Boracay to experience its majestic white beach. As soon as she arrived, she noticed
that it was warmer on land farther from the sea than when she stayed in the resort along
the coastal areas.
