Manila in June

Hi, i travel to manila each year to visit my sponsored children, this year I would like to visit in June, so I can be there for a birthday party, I am a bit concerned about the rainfall in June and the roads being cut off, I would be staying at the Linden Suites and need to get to Caloocan City, and Quezon City, am I taking too much of a risk with the weather? I normally visit in either March or October. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Manila in June

Rain is a natural occurrence in the Philippines. Unless the rain is brought about by a typhoon, rain is something many Filipinos have learned to live with.

The inconvenience of rain is that

-It get you wet,

-It affect the vehicular traffic

-It makes you lazy to move around

-It will strand you to a place if it causes flooding.

Quezon City is relatively high and floods are seldom.

You are overcautious and Yes! go for it and enjoy the rain!

thanks for your reply, I am cautious because I am only allowed 1 day with each child, so would hate to disappoint them by not being able to reach their homes due to flooding.
