Oops, PAGASA Did it Again!

This alarms not only the storm-weary RP but, also the international community who are mostly touched on how Filipinos suffered the aftermaths of the devastations.

Thousands of lives, billion pesos worth of properties and infrastructures, not to mention its damages on our "should be" picking up economy.

Why is Philippines prone to typhoons?

The Philippines has a tropical marine climate, and is dominated by rainy and dry season.

On summer, monsoon brings heavy rains to most of the archipelagos beginning May to October. While on winter, monsoon brings cooler and drier air from month of December to February of the following year.

The National Capital Region (NCR), also known as Metro Manila and most of the lowland areas are really hot and dusty from March to May, or sometimes early June.

Its annual rainfall measures reaches as high as 5,000 millimeters in the mountainous east coast side of RP, but less than 1,000 millimeters in some covered valleys.

Normally the monsoon rains are not associated with strong winds and waves, despite being hard and drenching.

But, beginning July, deadly storms start to challenge the country and it ends normally on October but, at the most, 3rd week of November.

The real bad ones often go to North and the eastern part of Luzon, also Bicol, which is already a part of the South Luzon, as well as to the Eastern Visayas region.

Metro Manila gets devastated and flooded periodically, mostly because, it's too over populated. Rivers and canals are stuck with so much rubbish that it had always been an "extra challenge" for the past administrations to unclogged the Pasig River and have Filipinos' way of life corrected.

What's making it worst?

What's making it worst is that PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Service Administration) keeps missing to deliver efficiency from forecasting to advisory.

With this new typhoon coming, Mirinae, PAGASA did it again! And NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), who did saw it of course would be disappointed, because, when they went their way to confirm if PAGASA saw the image, it just wasn't that they didn't get it, they even advised "no tropical cyclone existing" and blah, blah, blah...

OMG! Forgive me but, inefficiency should have no room in the corporate world! More so, in Public Service! And as to how many times they did it already, my gosh! So disgusting!

It's no longer petty to consider because, there are lives at stake here. People are dying; many lose their houses, their properties, their farms, their cars, too much already!

And no matter how we strive, it will just keep on pulling down our economy, back to the bottom rack of poverty.

Sometimes, I've been thinking probably, PAGASA isn't geared enough to perform its job, which could be true.

But then, it only takes an internet browser that even a 1^st grader in this modern day world knows how to do.
Internet is so amazing that it collects everything, almost everything you might want to know. Just go to NASA's website: www.nasa.gov and click on hurricane. They have all their high-powered satellites and with that, you can't go wrong.

The international community is reacting to PAGASA inefficiency all because, they knew how much we, Filipinos have already suffered. And for another typhoon, and another blunder for us to succumb, we might not be able to recover anymore.

Plus the fact, our allies, who had been constantly helping us, like U.S. are also struggling with the recession, and it's not just fair for them to babysit us forever! We should be sufficient to ourselves!

Bottom line, if PAGASA needs new equipments, trainings, or more education, just to be able to deliver work; quality work for the Filipino people, you have to let the government know!

For we rather invest now on those things than lose monies and lives, in just a day or two of constant raining, strong winds and high floods.

Wake up and deliver!
