Portable Fans To Keep Kids Safe From Heat Stroke, As Low As P99

This article was published on April 28, 2023, and updated on March 4, 2025.

With the rising heat index reports by PAGASA, one way to keep our children safe from heat stroke is by making sure they are hydrated and cool in school. 

In the Facebook group, Smart Parenting Village, Mommy Rea Parilla Laude shared her dilemma. She said she enrolled her daughter in public school and has to commute for 5-7 minutes from their home. “I have a Kinder, though nahahanginan ‘daw’ siya sa school, pag uwi, grabe ang pawis niya.” 

She narrated that her primary concern over this season is her child’s sweating. “Actually, ang pinaka concern ko talaga lalo na pag summer season is yung pawis. Mahirap na po kasing matuyuan ng pawis as I have a Kinder student, ang alam lang nila maglaro, mag-likot at wala silang pakialam kung mapawisan o hindi. Hindi rin naman tayo buong class session nila nakabantay."
