Transcribed Image Text:Anna is an American traveller. She cannot tolerate the winter in her country so se
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
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.
