 WET AND DRY SEASONS
• The Philippines has two pronounced seasons, the wet
and dry seasons.
Harvesting is mostly done
during dry season. In some
places, farmers cannot plant
crops during dry season
because they do not
have modern irrigation and
the lack of water.
Farmers usually plant
their crops during wet
season to ensure that it will
grow because water
is plenty. Sometimes too
much rain may cause
landslides, mudflows
and erosion that may
damage crops, lives and
properties
