Grammar Note

The Philippines primarily has two seasons: 'tag-init' (summer/dry season) and 'tag-ulan' (rainy season). Weather conditions often use the 'ma-' prefix (e.g., 'maaraw' - sunny, 'maulap' - cloudy). For ongoing weather conditions, verbs with the 'um-' infix are used (e.g., 'umuulan' - it's raining).
