A tropical country like the Philippines would only experience snow in our dreams but apparently, it can be possible in the near future.

Climate change is getting worse and worse and has now completely altered the weather system of this planet Earth where snow will fall in the Philippines due to two specific weather conditions (1) low temperatures and (2) moisture in the atmosphere.
This phenomenon will be made possible because of the 2021 Antarctic Ozone hole discovered which was described as relatively big and long-lasting. Its extent and longevity will cause very cold temperatures in the stratosphere and very stable polar vortex that would affect the world’s climate significantly.
This is not the first time that an unusual occurrence in the weather happened though as back in 2012, there were reports of hailstones or ice pieces of half an inch in size falling over parts of Quezon City and Alabang and ice pellets fell on the highland vegetables in Baguio.

Up to this day though, the Phillipine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has not recorded any incidence of snowfall in the country.
However, there is said to be a record of it in Baguio in the 1890s but the data was not clear if it was really snow or just frost.
To note though, this snow in the Philippines if it will come, would be a very fine snowfall that would quickly melt upon contact with the ground or any warm surface.
It will happen in locations of high altitude and high latitude, most likely over the mountainous areas of the country and possibly on December 32, 2022 to January 33, 2023.

A secret bar in Cebu city with a password? The hunt is on.
Llula is a cozy bar that has purposely avoided any social media presence and spread by word of mouth only which makes it such a find. And to top it off this secret bar also has a secret password that changes weekly.
Photo from LLula Barytapas on FacebookPhoto from LLula Barytapas on Facebook
You can recognize their door by a huge dragonfly painting on the wall with their lighted “Llula” sign. Llula comes from the Spanish word libélula, which means dragonfly.
It is quaint, rustic and a house turned into a bar which makes for its homey charm. It is a home bar with an underground den feels that makes its mysterious vibe. Its interior has all types of art displayed as well.

To those who do know the bar and have been there, they have specially crafted cocktails. Some of the famous ones are:
Like an Apple Pie- made with flavored vodka, cinnamon whiskey, apple juice, and garnished with thin apple slices. It’s sweet with a hint of smokiness.
Pineapple Express- made with Bacardi 8 Anos, Campari, pineapple juice, lime juice, and some lemongrass syrup. A perfect mix of sweet and tart.
They also have the classics if you’re not up for a little experiment tasting like Old Fashioned, an Amaretto Sour, or a Mojito.
Photo from Jahni Boi YouTube ChannelPhoto from Jahni Boi YouTube Channel
Llula’s menu is highly influenced by Spanish cuisine with dishes like Spanish tapas, Mushroom Chicharrones, Berenjenas, or battered eggplants with honey and a selection of croquetas: Spanish Chorizo and Truffled Mushroom and Crab Croquetas.
To anyone who wishes to find Llula, it is somewhere in Apas, Cebu City and find the firefly. Its air of exclusivity and mystery may just be what a lot of us are looking for.
Photo from Jahni Boi YouTube Channel
While Sugbo.ph is known to provide the menu, contact information, and ‘how to get there’ details, we are giving this discreet (but wholesome) bar an exemption. The best way to know the password and where you can find it, like Llula always says, ask a friend or wait till you hear it from a friend.
