GEN. Santos City — The horizon here turned unusually gloomy while the typically warm morning winds eased for over an hour yesterday morning as the city saw the partial solar eclipse like no other place in the country. People here had the best view of the celestial show.
Renato de Leon, a specialist of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration’s astronomy division, said the partial solar eclipse started at around 7:51 am and was mainly seen in this city.
