iit depends on the ytype of skin...
phils. is a tropical country, thoughits hot ther..still filipinos are using umbrellas, not only being afraid of having darker complexion..

why africans are used to high temp? coz their skin is designed for that weather..

if u dont know..there are lots of cases of filipinos falling on their work just because of the heat of the sun. or having nose bleed or high fever at night after a long day exposure to the sun!!!
