Tropical paradise also includes rainy season. No rain means no fruits, no rice, no harvest of any kind. In the Philippines part of the year is almost only sunny - the remaining part is sometimes mostly rain, storm and dark clouds, depending on where in the Philippine islands you are during rainy season.
A few photo impressions from Philippines. A season when nature grows faster and more beautiful to be ready for next coming sunny season. Clouds for weeks day and night may become depressing - unless you are in peace with yourself and know how to keep yourself happy and busy doing something loving and useful with the resources you got.
