Philippine Weather Bureau: Useless

Tags: | |

Not only does the Philippine weather bureau rely on recycled, free, public, compiled, visualized information available in any Web browser, information actually meant for Guam. They use the Yahoo toolbar, and don’t even bother to hide it for public photos.

If any Filipino can visually check the path of any storm in any Web browser, using information not obtained by their weather bureau, what are we paying these n00bs for? It certainly isn’t for smart presentation.

The irony here is that the Philippine weather bureau is called “Pagasa”, which is Filipino for “hope”. Looks pretty hopeless to me.

    You know what, you don’t even have the slightest idea of what you’re all talking about. Shame on you on how you talk about the people of PAGASA (it’s not
    spelled as Pagasa). My father’s a forecaster and he really works hard day and night and even on Saturdays just to give the public the most accurate and latest weather bulletin. He even stays in the office for a week if he has to especially if there’s a typhoon. So don’t you dare tell them that they’re useless. Tell me, have you done anything for the country that we can really be proud of? Well, I shouldn’t be surprised after all because we Filipinos are damn good in pointing fingers at someone’s fault. Right? Just think about it, and maybe you’ll be enlightened.
