Purple Tactics

What would be the pros and cons of a sudden occurence of snow in the Philippines?

Inspired by a question by slickpunk13 earlier.

OK, the temperature drops to minus 4 degrees celsius, there's 10 cms of snow on the ground... and you're in Manila! What do you think will happen to society then?

Here's my take...
- People would rush to Malacanang and chop that place down for firewood.
- Starbucks would see a dramatic fall in the sales of their Frappucino drink line-up... and a sudden boost in their cappucino sales!
- People who repair refrigerators, electic fans and ariconditioning units for a living will be seen along the streets holding "Will work for food" signs.
- Young people who would otherwise wear thick jackets outside just to make a fashion statement, when everybody else is sweating, will be wishing the "good'ol days" back.
- You'll never have to see the hairy armpits of jeepney drivers as they reach out for your paymment as everybody will be covered in winter clothing.
- Balikbayans at the airport would not be viewed as "mayabang" anymore when they arrive in their thermo-plus bubble jackets.
- Whenever you ask someone if there is any hot water left, they wouldn't automatically assume that you're cooking cup-noodles anymore.
- Manila universities would still refuse to remove their "air-con fee" away from their payment breakdowns.
- Ice buko would be a thing of the past, as coconuts would be frozen already when you buy them.
- Rich snobs at Ayala Alabang and Forbes park will use their swimming pools at as ice rinks.
- The number of pregnancies would skyrocket as couples try "interesting" ways to keep themselves warm at night.

Great question! Realistically, it depends how long that temperature be lingering around. 0 degrees Celsius is freezing, water ice-up. If it last for more than 6 hours at -4 degrees Celsius, and people are not protected and prepared, "it will be a disaster" in the making.
Just to add to your list, here's a more scary scenario.
-Deaths due to hypothermia, icy driving and walking condition (black ice). We will run out of space in the funeral parlor.
-Plants, animals and food supply) dies. We start eating canned goods.
-Power plant not rated to operate at freezing temps. No heat, even electric stoves or microwaves.
-Water pipes and sewage breakage and spillage. Where are you going to take a sh*t?
-Fires and burn the city just to stay warm. That might erase Manila out of the map.
That's my 5$ worth. I got some more but it will cost you wooden floor of your house.
On a good tone:
We have shaved ice for days.
Don't need the fridge.
Candles for light.
We start eating raw again.

(lol) the dead Pinoys in the cemetery will rise up and cry out loud in unison.... what the hell!

.Huge pile ups on the roads as drivers come face to face with an unknown hazard,
.Beer houses selling coffee or soup instead of beer,
.SM has a huge cut in its electricity bill,
.Many mysterious fires in squatter areas as people find ways to keep warm,
.Food on the table will be served hot,
.Hospitals will be inundated with victims from slippery footpaths and numerous other accidents,

You are one strange person answering your own question about something that can not possibly happens unless the sun were to die....

You're not even asking a question, you're fantasizing about some comic book revelation.


Juan C
pros - skaters' paradise and free halo-halo for everyone...
cons - death of plants could result to starvation of animals, could result to death of the Filipino people...

oh in Manila, it would be a black snow then, result of too much pollution...

Hehe - your suggestion is too long to read. BUT - I was on a flight from Taiwan to NY. En route we stopped in Anchorage, Alaska and it was November with 4 inches of snow on the ground. While refueling, all the Taiwanese took off their shoes and ran out on the observation deck to see what snow felt like.


Melvin
PRO: Snow angels!!!!

CON: Winter jackets will be the fashion??


Toyz
you got a lot of good points here.the first thing that will happen if ever the temp will drop to freezing is that a lot of people would die.so hopefully that armageddon type of **** doesnt happen.


Ian B
People as well as animals without adequate shelter will freeze.
Most of your points are good - only if people haven't frozen yet.


Beetlle
that hairy armpit bit made me laugh out loud! :)
but really, if something like that would happen, i'd be worried for the homeless.

pros:
something new to delight our eyes and hands with

cons:
our indigent kababayans may not afford to buy thick clothes to cover themselves specially at christmas season. ='(

In reality it would be the same as snow in South Florida. People will be afraid to drive their vehicles. The children would all run out of the house and make snowballs and put them in a freezer. They try to make a snowman, before it all melts away in a couple of hours. Whenever the ground is warm, the snow cannot stay for long.


Lia
we can go ice skating for free at Pasig River =)
