But we had to practice at length the various skills for assessing the direction of the wind and the movements of our bodies.I was there in March, which was still the windy season on the island. Because of the winds, the Philippines were important on the ancient maritime(海上的) trade route. They call the wind Amihan, or trade winds.From May to October, the Amihan wind is channeled through the hills on the northern andsouthern ends of the island from the east onshore, and onto the Bulabog Beach on the eastern coast of the island.25.
