July is already a part of the country’s wet season, so we could experience rainfall during the conference period. Depending on weather conditions, these rains could range from brief drizzles to lengthy torrential thunderstorms. In addition, when we experience strong torrential rains, nearby areas around the University could be flooded.
For your safety, we suggest bringing an umbrella and/or a raincoat when traveling to and from the conference venue.
It is also a good idea to check the weather forecasts close to the conference dates to get a sense of the city’s weather conditions. You can find these updates from PAG-ASA (i.e., the national weather agency) or from news outlets such as the ABS-CBN Weather Center and GMA News Online’s IMReady. These updates can help you prepare for any changes in the weather and adjust your plans accordingly.
Yes. Within Manila, you can visit the National Museum and its component museums.
