The path of the moon’s umbral shadow will begin in India and is expected to cross Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Central China, the Pacific Ocean, Ryukyu Island, Marshal Island and Kiribati. A partial eclipse will be witnessed in several parts of the Philippines including Metro Manila, Calayan Island, Laoag City, Tuguegarao City, Baguio City, Angeles City in Pampanga, Puerto Princesa in Palawan, Lucena City, Naga City, Iloilo, Cebu, Zamboanga, Sulu, Davao and General Santos City.
PAGASA said the eclipse will start in Metro Manila at exactly 8:33:01 a.m. The eclipse’s full visibility will be seen at 9:43 a.m. and will end at 11:01:51 a.m. Other areas in the globe that will witness partial solar eclipse are those in eastern Asia and the Pacific Ocean.
We advised the spectators to avoid directly looking at the eclipse without safety eye devices. People can cover their eyes with X-ray films, sun glasses, smoked glass and photographic films and negatives for a better viewing and to avoid any injury to the eyes from the damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun. And the safest method to view the eclipse is by indirect viewing “like projecting the image with a pinhole camera.”

“People can cover their eyes with X-ray films, sun glasses, smoked glass and photographic films and negatives for a better viewing and to avoid any injury to the eyes”
Please be advised that none of these materials are considered by astronomers to be safe enough for solar observation. See:
