so expensive entrance fee

Tweet

Since the start of summer vacation last week, my son swims almost everyday at the olympic sized pool of Philippine Sports Complex (formerly called ULTRA). He used to be a member of a swim club that trains at the said pool, Saturday and Sunday morning, when he was in 1st grade.

The pool has gone under major renovation for months. When it opened again I was shocked with the increase on entrance fee. They're now charging 60 pesos for kids and adults.

Pool fee was just, more or less, 40 pesos before the renovation. The only obvious difference with the before and after renovation are they added a more comfortable lifeguard station (no lifeguard all the time!) and fixed the diving pool (not open to the public anyway), so why the 50% increase on entrance fee??

the best time to go running

Early morning or when Mr. Sun has gone out for the night already. In my opinion, that's the best time to go running in an open field.

Some people though are very brave running under the heat of the sun. Don't they care about the damage it's causing their skin? Hopefully they're wise enough to put on sunblock to avoid any skin damage from the sun's harsh heat.

My son usually swims at 330 in the afternoon. Right across the pool is a track oval. I've seen local celebrities, like Edu Manzano and Will Devaugn, hit that oval under the heat of the scourging sun. I guess they're trying to avoid the thousands of runners frequenting the place after sundown.

They should check if getting very sick, due to dehydration, is covered by their health plan though.
