REP. Marlyn Alonte (Biñan), chairman of the House Committee on Ecology, suggested on Saturday that climate adaptation was the only way to reduce, if not eliminate, the excessive heat in classrooms, explaining that a temporary solution of air-conditioning products would be an expensive and impractical option.

'The better way is to install heat insulation into the ceilings of all classrooms in public schools, old and new. In other words, climate adaptation is the way,' Alonte said.
