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.__________________ Guide Questions: 1. When Anna went to the Philippines, she experienced a sudden temperature change. What factor affects its climate change?
