The monsoon was predicted to start in the Philippines between mid-May and the beginning of June. As of today, May 21, I think it has officially started. Heavy rains have occurred at least three times today.

I like the rainy season for one reason: It's cooler weather. Sure it's wet and miserable if you have to be out in it all the time. I don't have to be out in it at all. Anyway, that's what umbrellas are for!

My son hates the rainy season because he has to go to school (college) on SBMA during the rainy season and gets wet all the time. Boo-hoo, I say. I like it!
