MANILA, Philippines \u2014 With the dry season officially here, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III gave a few tips on how to prevent dehydration and stay healthy.<\/p>\n

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Wednesday announced the official start of the dry season<\/a>. But while this has been associated with the sun, sea and the beach, precaution should still be observed.<\/p>\n

On Thursday’s Laging Handa briefing, Duque told the public to not forget to drink lots of water and to avoid extreme sun exposure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalaga po \u2018pag ang summer andito na, ang atin pong paalala sa mga mamamayan ay \u2018yung laging rehydration. Laging uminom ng tubig,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

(When summer is already here, our reminder to citizens is rehydration. Always drink water.)<\/p>\n

\u201cIwasan \u2018yung sobra\u2014labis na exposure sa init ng araw dahil magkakaroon po tayo ng heat stroke, or heat exhaustion, ng dehydration lalo na po sa mga matatanda,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

(Avoid overexposure under the sun because we may suffer from heat stroke, heat exhaustion, or dehydration, especially the elderly.)<\/p>\n

Duque advised the public to stay indoors during midday. However, if it cannot be prevented, sunblock should be applied liberally.<\/p>\n

According to the World Health Organization, the sun\u2019s ultraviolet rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Wag na \u2018yung from 10 [a.m.] to 3 o’clock ay lumalabas at lalo na kung hindi naman maiwasan, kailangan maglagay ng sunblock,\u201d Duque said.<\/p>\n

(Don\u2019t go out from 10 a.m. to 3 o\u2019clock but if you cannot prevent it, you need to put on a sunblock.)<\/p>\n\n\n
