HOTTEST JULY
While the country suffered from the onslaught of Typhoon Egay, which claimed at least 39 lives, including three drowning victims in Negros Occidental, my friend in Arizona in the United States has been adjusting to the extreme heat that is searing across the northern hemisphere.
The Egay death toll in the country includes 29 who perished when the boat transporting them capsized off Binangonan town in Rizal province.
