MANILA, Philippines — The northeast monsoon or “amihan” is expected to bring cooler weather conditions to most parts of Luzon until next week, the state weather bureau said on Friday.
“Sa mga nagtatanong kung magsisimula na ba ang tag init, kung magtatapos na ba ang amihan, hindi po,” weather specialist Benison Estareja said.
