Ang init… so kami na nag-adjust!! 🌞😤 We're turning air-conditioned party rooms into cool study hubs for students on school days (and nights!), McDonald’s said in its post.

Since early this year, Filipinos have been suffering from the El Niño phenomenon, even forcing the Department of Education to cancel in-person classes due to the high heat index.
Government agencies said some areas had also experienced a dangerous heat index.
State Weather Bureau PAGASA earlier reminded the public to do the following:
Reduce outdoor activities
Stay hydrated
Avoid specific beverages to prevent heat-related illnesses
When outdoors, use umbrellas, hats, or wear long sleeves
Schedule intense activities for cooler parts of the day
