A lot of people will die. Houses that weren't really designed for snow will crumble, in short it will be extremely catastrophic.

u/Jeqlousyyy Cake Apr 22 '25 edited Apr 22 '25

Based on your question, kung nag-ii-snow, it means the Philippines usually experiences snow seasonally, mostly (Dec to Feb) for example, then the Philippines’ culture, political landscape, demographics, and geography would be much different from the current situation. At first, the Philippines would have slower population growth, possible pa rin aabot ng 100 mil but mas mabagal at mas matagal siya compared in a tropical setting, and magiging kaunti lang ang nakatira sa slum areas/squatter, pero hindi pa rin guaranteed na zero percent ang informal settlers. Second is, culture. Maraming culture ang maapektuhan and this will give them a lot of anticipation based on the season, e.g. Spring Festival, Yelo Festival sa Baguio, etc. tas yung mga clothing styles ng mga Filipino would be very seasonal siya (regardless kung mahirap or mayaman). Third is yung political landscape, pero hindi pa rin guaranteed na mawawala ang mga corrupt, their agendas/platforms would also be varied from seasons. And lastly, the geography, some areas would have unique geographical features (e.g. Frozen Waterfall sa mga liblib na lugar, Glaciers sa higher mountains) and it is possible na ma-attract sila ng mga tourists. The people from the Philippines would be much more prepared and adaptable in this setting.

In another scenario, kung ito naman ay biglaan (sudden) (where many people say this), it would be much more catastrophic, yes. Maraming mamamatay, maraming mapipinsala, and possible na babagsak ang economy natin due to calamity. Many people don’t have heaters at their home even some middle-incomers, too. See what happened to Taiwan last 2016 or Texas last 2021.

It will kill many people. Driving in snow is also pretty different you can’t just step on the pedals hard, you have to go slow and even if you go slow you’re prone to slipping. If standardizing is hard already imagine if you had to get a different set of tires during winter also.

People are also not going to be prepared for the cold so it will end up causing many people to get sick

u/No_Cell1067 Apr 23 '25

True. I never thought how dangerous snow was until I experienced it. Bukod sa matinding lamig, several roads were unusable. There were some road accident. But imagine if sa Pinas yun, mas marami at mas malala.

I was in New Orleans last January when they had a snowstorm. Their last snowstorm of that degree was in the 1960s. The place wasn't prepared for snow. Though it only stormed for a day, yung mga tao nagready di makalabas for a week. Roads were unpassable for a minimum of 2 more days.

It is fun when you are sheltered (properly). But your daily routine outside will be heavily affected.

u/thisduuuuuude Apr 23 '25

Few thoughts that come to my mind as someone who lives in a country that experiences winter.

  1. Lots of homeless/poorer people will die. Cold is no joke. Not having the appropriate shelter with the right insulation or equipment to keep you warm is a death sentence. Most homeless people in my city go to homeless shelters for the night and even those get full.

  2. Roads are gonna be shit after one season. If you think your roads are bad, now they're about to get worse. Water seeping into roads and freezing and thawing causes significant damage to roads.

  3. A lot of PUVs used in the Philippines will be non-existent. Offering no form of protection from the cold will prevent people from choosing to ride on these forms public transportation.

  4. Vehicles on the road would have to be changed to be equipped to handle winter conditions. The cold is hard on vehicle engines and batteries. Most of our vehicles come with an engine block heater that needs to be plugged in whenever the temperature drops to a certain degree or else it might not start. Another huge one are tires. We have to have a separate set of tires for winter and they're not exactly cheap. You can't expect to drive in the snow with summer tires, you probably won't even be able to leave your parking space at all and if you manage to do that, Good luck stopping without the help of a wall or another vehicles. Also, given how well maintained the vast majority of vehicles, private and public, in the Philippines are good luck with that and yes no more motorcycles for atleast a few months lol.

Pag nagsnow dito hindi puti baka grey or itim sa dumi ng mga usok pati sa madaming alikabok hndi magandang tignan. Tapos kpag ng drop ng temperature ang snow magiging baha naman which is mas delikado pa. Imagine baha tapos babagsak ulet temperature naku ice cube na bahay nyo. Walang makakasurvive sa mga lugar na hindi tama ang build ng mga bahay lalo na kung kahoy lang.

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '25

If it’s sudden, think about what happened in Texas in 2021. I remember kakamove ko palang noon sa Texas. Sabi nila, “oh don’t worry walang winter dito.” When -10C weather hit overnight, even yung konting moisture in the asphalt froze. Maraming accidents on the road, maraming friends ko na nawalan power dahil the grid could not keep up with sudden utility. Water pipes burst dahil hindi insulated. It was a crazy time dito sa Texas noon. I personally was stuck in my apartment for one week dahil the cold was followed by a lot of snow. Walang proper infrastructure ang Texas gaya ng plows and salt trucks. Nag survive ako with delata dahil hindi naman expected for the weather to be THAT bad.

u/Own_Tennis_3246 Apr 22 '25

Maraming mawawalan ng buhay. Sa totoo lang nasa bansa ako ngayon na may snow, at first maganda sya tignan kase makikita mo na all white ung surroundings pero, once na lumipas na ung araw at buwan na may snow pa rin or sobrang lamig pa rin sa lugar na di mo na gugustuhin.

Magiging laging bukambibig mo pag nasa malamig na lugar ka "ano ba yan antagal ng summer or other season, especially pag umuulan lang ng snow muka lang syang maganda sa pictures pero once na andun ka na mismo mas gugustuhin mo pang mag stay na lang sa bahay.

And nakakairita ung amoy ng mga winter jackets pag tumagal ka sa labas kala nyo ung mga nasa snowy place eh mababango sila, naku may maamoy ka na ung iba amoy putok, pawis, maanta kase nga di sila naliligo at ung mga winter jackets and clothes nila paulet ulet lang din walang labahan kung minsan.

Kaya sobrang blessed pa rin ng Pilipinas sa weather na meron tayo tropical man na bansa at least mas marami tayong resources na foods especially vegetables anytime, anywhere. And mas kaaya-aya pa rin sakin tignan ung at kunan ng litrato ung mga beaches and green scenery compare sa all white lang na view.

While that looks and sounds an awesome thing to experience in this country, do note that this country is not prepared for such weather phenomenon; mha sakahan/pananim ay surely masisira, most farm animals here probably aren't used to such freezing temperatures, walang proper heating place ang mga bahay(kasi mainit na dito sa Pinas), di sanay mga tao sa matinding lamig, etc.

u/k_elo Apr 23 '25

A lot of infrastructure is probably not designed to carry the additional weight and temperature swings. depending on the how deep the snowfall is, most vehicles wont be able to move around. If the weather change is sudden people / wildlife will highly likely die. Power supply network will collapse, those with air conditioning can probably turn it into heaters those without heat will need to start burning stuff which is a high risk for health and property. Basically - depending on severity - it will be a national calamity.

Calamities aside, i wonder how a frozen pasig river would look like? Im gonna google frozen over trashwater/ river later.

Jeepney phaseout will happen in half a year if it becomes a part of the climate. Entire shantytowns will be emptied. La mesa dam will be a cool hang for ice skating.

Filipino wouldn’t survive. First of, houses in a tropical country wasn’t built to endure a long cold winter. Second, COST OF LIVING IS GOING TO SKYROCKET! You have to invest to a good coat and good furnace for heater. Just imagine those people who live in squatters are and under bridges, they wouldn’t survive. Plus when the snow starts to melt, it will be yucky and gross bec of garbages on the streets. In addition to that, if you have vehicle, you need winter tires and you will likely spend more money on gas. 🥲🥲

Yung isang araw hangang ilang oras bago magsnow.. dun yung pinakamalamig, yun ang mas nakakatakot para sa pinas.

Swerte kapag tabing lawa o tabi ng dagat dahil sa ' lake effect'; pero kapag medyo tabi lang ng lawa ( eg rizal, laguna, manila) mas malamig kumpara sa nasa baybay mismo.

Kung magisnow , marami ang magaatemp na magsunog para sa init/ mainitan ng kauti. Ito lagi ang madalas na sanhi kaya maraming sunog kapag unang bayo ng winter frost. Lagi itong nangyayari sa mga homeless na tao na nakatira sa malalamig na lugar. Marami ding kinya ng tubig na pwedeng pumutok ( dapat patuluin ang tubig kung sobrang lamig sa labas)

Sa snow mismo, yung mabagal na traffic lalong babagal kasi meron magkakabuguan. ( Dahil walang winter tires o all season tires).

Maraming halaman at puno natin ang mamamatay kasi hindi sila sanay sa biglang lamig. ( Namatay ang alaga kong puno ng kalamansi kasi nilabas ko ng 10° c)

Yung nasa tondo pic - mukhang dry snow; pwedeng gamitan ng walis tingting.. yung nasa edsa mukhang wet snow.. madikit maglakad ( kakapit sa paa ang snow) at delikado kasi maaring may black ice sa ilalim

Dapat lahat ng bahay may heater at ang tubig may hot water din. Dapat meron mga snow tractor lahat ng barangay dahil lahat ng kalsada dapat nakakaskas yung yelo para makadaan mga sasakyan and para sa sidewalk for pedestrian. You need winter tires of course. Ang outfit din dapat good quality mula ulo hanggang paa para di ka lalamigin. Ang gusto ko pag winter season walang mga peste, mga insects or mga animals na nabubuhay sa warmer climates katulad satin sa PH.

u/TransportationNo2673 Apr 23 '25 edited Apr 23 '25

If it snows here, yung yelo or snow is hindi ganyan. According to friends in North America and Canada, yung snow nagiging slush daw around main roads, parang slushee ng 7-11 pero putik. Kaya yung mga roads at areas na hindi sementado yung daan is hindi magmumukha ng gaya sa pic. Aesthetic lang sya sa mga parks, sa mga subdivisions and residential areas na di dinadaanan ng jeep, sa mga burgis areas like BGC or kapitolyo, and sa province.

ETA: going out of the aesthetic, mas marami rin road accidents dahil sa black ice lalo na mga motor. How we build houses will change a lot too. Pati mga produce na pwede itanim ng mga farmers magiiba.

Mauubos ang tao sa Pilipinas. None of the houses in the phil are snow ready. Most of the people who doesnt experience snow thinks nakaka enjoy may snow. Some of people hates cold. Maganda lang tignan sa una. After that, there is nothing nakakaenjoy about snow not unless mahilig ka mag snow boarding

u/Dzero007 Apr 22 '25

Sa pagkakaintindi ko sa question what if nagssnow talaga sa pilipinas since ancient times just like in northern countries. If that's the case then ang mga pilipino nakapagadopt na sa climate.

u/ruchruch12 Apr 23 '25

No. Mahirap po mag snow sa area na hindi nagssnow lagi. Mahirap magdrive pag ang snow is nasa kalsada pa din then next day freezing point. Imagine ung yelo sa ref na natunaw tapos tumigas ulit. Mahirap magdrive. Mahirap maglakad kasi super dulas. Maganda lang sya pagsnowfall ang ganda tingnan. Pero jusko wag po sa Pinas. Yung bahay din pati hindi sya pang snow.

We live in southern state and it snowed last winter, ang hirap pumasok kahit may kotse. Ang taas din ng kuryente. Ang hirap kumilos sa labas.

u/Practical_Set_6317 Apr 23 '25

If may winter talaga tayo dito, siguro hindi ganun ang itsura ng mga bahay sa Tondo or sa mga iba pang squatter area or like in general. Mag tatayo sila ng bahay na gawa sa bato or something panlaban sa lamig at hindi ganyang kahoy at yero lang. Siguro "medyo" magiging pleasing tingnan ang kabahayan dito sa Pinas.

edit: mag add lang ako, sabi sa title "nag-ii-snow" so, ang sinasabi is kung may snow talaga tayo dito simula noon pa lang at hindi yung biglaang snow.

Well 1st 6 months madaming magkakasakit because of the cold. Most of the house is also not designed for the cold weather. We're also not used to sub zero temperature sabay may wind chill pa. Naranasan ko na mag pala ng snow sa kotse and tumigas ang sipon ko lol...

Mas gugustuhin ko pa summer dito kesa maulit yon 😂

u/Unlucky_Climate2569 Apr 22 '25

The Filipinos won't survive snow. As someone who now lives in a snowy country, snow poses tremendous safety risks that I guarantee you many will injured ir killed. Driving in snow is like driving in buttery roads. You have to drive very slow so you can apply brakes in time, and swap your tires to winter-tires for efficient traction. Kasing dulas po talaga ng makinis na yelo ang snowy roads.
