Happy Independence Day! Let’s celebrate our freedom with a smile and a good laugh. After all, what's a celebration without a bit of humor?

Over 300 years under Spanish rule? That’s like being stuck in a long, boring telenovela! But on June 12, 1898, the Philippines finally got its plot twist – freedom!

Independence Day reminds us that freedom is no joke, even if we are. It’s about honoring those who fought bravely – imagine if they had smartphones and could just tweet their way to independence!

Activities on this day include:
Flag-raising ceremonies (don't drop it, it's not a relay baton!)
Parades (perfect for practicing your royal wave)
Cultural performances (time to show off those TikTok dance moves)
Fireworks (the only acceptable time to scare the neighbors' dogs)

Today, we celebrate our freedom by appreciating how far we've come – from fighting colonizers to fighting over WiFi passwords!

Philippine Independence Day is a celebration of our freedom and our ability to laugh at ourselves. Let’s honor our heroes by living joyfully and united. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas – and don’t forget to smile while you’re at it!

Working in hot weather can present several challenges for construction workers, but there are strategies to help mitigate the risks and discomfort. Here are some tips for construction work during hot weather:

1. Hydration: Encourage workers to drink plenty of water throughout the day, even before they feel thirsty. Provide easy access to cool water on-site and remind workers to take regular breaks to hydrate.

2. Shade and Rest Areas: Set up shaded rest areas where workers can take breaks away from direct sunlight. Consider using tents, umbrellas, or temporary shelters to provide relief from the heat.

3. Adjust Work Schedule: Plan work tasks to minimize exposure to the hottest part of the day. Schedule more strenuous work for cooler times, such as early morning or late afternoon.

4. Lightweight Clothing: Encourage workers to wear lightweight, breathable clothing that covers as much skin as possible to protect against the sun. Light-colored clothing can also help reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption.

5. Sun Protection: Provide sunscreen with a high SPF rating and encourage workers to apply it regularly, especially to exposed areas like the face, neck, and arms. Hats with wide brims can also offer additional protection for the face and neck.

6. Ventilation: Where feasible, ensure adequate ventilation in indoor work areas to help regulate temperature and improve airflow. Portable fans or ventilation systems can help circulate air and reduce heat buildup.

7. Training and Awareness: Educate workers about the signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Encourage them to recognize these signs in themselves and their coworkers, and emphasize the importance of seeking medical attention if needed.

8. Electrolyte Replacement: In addition to drinking water, provide electrolyte-rich beverages or snacks to help replenish the minerals lost through sweating. Sports drinks or electrolyte tablets can be useful for maintaining electrolyte balance.

9. Monitor Weather Conditions: Stay informed about weather forecasts and be prepared to adjust work plans accordingly, especially during heatwaves or extreme heat events. Consider implementing additional safety measures or temporary work stoppages if conditions become particularly hazardous.

10. Supervision and Support: Assign supervisors or safety officers to monitor workers for signs of heat-related stress and ensure that appropriate measures are being taken to prevent heat illness. Encourage open communication so that workers feel comfortable reporting any concerns about heat-related issues.

By implementing these tips and prioritizing worker safety, construction teams can help minimize the risks associated with working in hot weather conditions.

While price is a significant factor, it shouldn't be the sole determinant. Unlicense/Foreman/Pakyaw might offer a lower price but compromise on quality or use subpar materials, leading to additional costs in the long run.

🎯 TIP:
Investing in a reputable and experienced contractor often pays off in terms of reliability, workmanship, and overall satisfaction with your home construction.

Architect's 24-advice to 2024 house dreamers.

Before you manifest your House in 2024! You need to know these.

1.If you want convenience, buy a house and lot. You can move-in right after the turnover.Less hassle than building from ground zero.

2.If you have a parcel of land/lot, initially you would want to get an Architect to design your home. The technical plans (Architectural to engineering design) will be handed over to you. (Blueprints, specifications and bill of materials etc.)

3.The probable cost of the house construction will be given to you by your Architect. (30k to 45k per sqm is the most realistic cost)

4.The house can be built by reputable contractors through bidding (3 contractors are recommended then select 1)

5.After choosing the builder, you need to comply with the PERMITS such as building permit, barangay permits, fire safety evaluation certificate etc. (Refer to your local government for requirements)

6.Compliance with these, we can now start your house construction. Bring your deep pockets na.

7.Always keep in mind to hire a third party project manager if you're not a technical person in relation to construction. Your architect and engineer can always help you.

8.Remind yourself,structural work is expensive, architectural finishing is luxury. 😄

9.Keep your budget in check, progress billing of your contractor must be aligned to the actual accomplishment.

10.As the owner,you also have the responsibility to pay what's completed progress.

11.If you have changes to the actual work that's not specified on the plans, the contractor has the liberty to ask for additional cost. This is called "change order/variance".

12.Along the way you will be having delays, it may be the cause of your decision making or the contractor's delay due to various instances. Just in case this happens, add a clause to your contract for "liquidated damages". This corresponds to the cost of delay each day.

13.When choosing materials, seek for the quality made. It's your lifetime investment,not just a mere cheap one. If money is not a problem, "top of the line specs", i suggest 😄 Don't take your chances to substandard-china made faux.

14.Aesthetic is ok, function is better.

15.When dealing with contractors and engineers you need to acquire the harmony of collaboration. Para walang sa sakit sa ulo, build trust and rapport.

16.Peace of mind is the product of hiring professionals.

17.Professional's duties of building your house.
Architect - Predesign, design and construction
Project manager - Design to construction
Contractor - Construction to post construction
Property manager - Post construction

18.Your house must have a warranty,it must be agreed upon if how long, 3 months,6 months or 1 year.

19.Workmaship and material defects are okay for warranty. But if you caused the damage to the components, it may fall under additional charges.

20.Your house is done and you want to design/decorate your interiors,ask for the help of an Interior Designer, they are the expert on this field!

21.Make your house smart, purchase energy efficient appliances and control everything through wireless fidelity. Don't forget sustainable energy from solar panels.

22.Maintain your house brand new, schedule yearly house maintenance cleaning,monthly utility check and upscaling to quality material finishes.

23.Always remember this, a house is a liability if it doesnt give you revenue.

24.Last but not the least,small or huge, make your house a HOME of memories.
