My Utility Bills in the Philippines

[London_Manila]

Never use Aircon, it will kill you before the heat will. Always open front and rear doors or windows allow the breeze to pass through, it's very nice!

What about mosquitoes and moths not to mention any intruders.......

Totally unscientific and just my personal thoughts but i always think that pinoy males seem to die young of heart complaints or a stroke and i put that down to the heat and eating too much salt
Maybe too much alcohol can be added as welll

In the excessive heat your heart is working much harder to try and cool you
I took a heart rate monitor to the phills and my heart rate is much elevated over there (beats per minute)
blood pressure was raised also
On returning to an aircon cooled room my heart rate came down back to normal blood pressure dropped as well
Surely that constant sweating is good for no one

We had insect screens, no bars on the windows, never had hardly any insect problems at all. When I first moved to Philippines I soon learnt that ants ect disappeared if you wash and dry pots and put them away and all food in airtight containers unless its food that needs to be in the fridge, also Maritess used to mop and clean the whole apartment every morning after breakfast whilst I made myself busy cleaning bathroom or windows and the rear of the apartment where the washing machine and drying area was, we just got into a routine and everything was nice and shiny just like here at home in the UK!
