Imho, a technical/scientific body like PAGASA should be objective about the terms they use. If they exaggerate or downplay it, sampal yan sa reputation nila.

And...sory na po sa pangungulit, this is a storm with 230, 250kph winds. That fact should have stood out above all. Things will get messed up bad.
Regular ang education campaign ng pag-asa sa mga LGU.

Education campaigns conducted

Monteverde clarified that information and education campaigns (IEC) were regularly conducted with local government units. Terms that PAGASA used in its weather forecasts were explained extensively in these IECs.

But, she said, local government units sometimes sent to their IECs officials or employees who are not directly involved in disaster risk management.

"We are conducting the IEC in the local government. But after the IEC, participants should transfer the information down to the barangay level because that's our agreement," she said.

Topics during the IECs include storm surge, flood, tropical cyclone, among others.
Ayaw lang talagang mag trabaho ng maayos ng mga LGU at saksakan pa ng bobo.

Palusot na lang yang "tsunami" na yan, para lang may maituro ang daliri ng LGU. Ok naman si Mayor Javier, may utak kaya kunti lang casualty nya.
