Councilor’s Sentiments on ‘Aircon Now, Pulubi Later’ Elicits Reactions: “Buksan na ang aircon kung naiinitan ka”
The statement of a councilor on ‘Aircon Now, Pulubi Later’ issue elicits reactions online, reiterating “buksan na ang aircon kung naiinitan ka.”
The scorching heat nowadays has many people reaching for their electric fans, air coolers, or even air conditioners to alleviate the oppressive temperatures, especially at home.
However, the concern for many arises when they switch on the air conditioner, as it inevitably leads to a high electric bill. Hence, people employ various strategies to save on electricity costs, while some opt not to use the aircon altogether.
Recently, Barangay 152 Councilor Teng Gresola of Bagong Barrio, Caloocan City stated that depriving oneself, especially when health and comfort are at stake, isn’t advisable. He believes it’s better to pay for electricity than to face hospital bills later on.
His statement immediately circulated on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.
Some netizens say “Aircon Now, Pulubi Later” but Gresola shared that he can’t buy rest even if electricity is expensive. He emphasized the importance of getting a proper rest since most of us are exhausted from work.

For him, being able to sleep well is a luxury, so he’d rather deal with electricity bills than hospital bills. He encouraged his fellow citizens to turn on the aircon if you’re feeling hot.
Meanwhile, excessive heat or prolonged exposure to intense heat can lead to various illnesses and conditions, such as heatstroke, dehydration, sunburn, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and millaria.
To prevent these conditions, it’s important to drink enough water, use proper sun protection such as umbrellas, hats, and sunscreen, and rest in a cool place during excessive heat.

“Sabi nila “Aircon Now, Pulubi Later”
Eto stand ko about that..
Hindi mo mabibili ang pahinga kahit mahal ang kuryente mahalaga ay maayos ang pamamahinga mo at ng pamilya mo, pagod ka na nga sa trabaho at sa barangay di kapa makakapagpahinga ng maayos.
At yung makatulog lang ako ng maayos ay isang luxury na saken yun so I’d rather go with electricity bills rather than hospital bills
Kaya buksan na ang aircon kung naiinitan ka”
