PAGASA is the Philippine national institution dedicated to

provide flood and typhoon warnings, public weather forecasts
and advisories, meteorological, astronomical, climatological,
and other specialized information and services primarily for the
protection of life and property and in support of economic,
productivity and sustainable development. The government
agency was created on December 8, 1972 by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 78
reorganizing the Philippine Weather Bureau into PAGASA.
Visiting PAG ASA right after visiting PHILVOCS, made me realized how awesome
things can happen one at a time. Introducing the systems that they are working makes me
think that in just simple ways, can help us determine our weather or maybe even an
upcoming forecast. I think it will be great if the system could be more accurate like they’ve
said, to be working on one kind of satellite that can be truly legit with our kind of seasons
and weather.
I can say that it is great to work on some cases like astronomical because that is
where people have their curiosity pin-pointed on. With all this, my favorite part is looking
at the big screen knowing when the sea level can arise like this, or that. Or maybe even
predict the upcoming weather that could enter our area. And I hope that maybe next time,
there could be a lot of things that we could try here in PAG-ASA.
