One thing PNoy did well during his term is drastically improve PAGASA's capability and he remove people that were incompetent.

Amen to that but not after Abnoy blame & fired Dir Nilo.

In July 2010, the Philippines were hit by Typhoon Basyang, the second tropical cyclone during the 2010 Pacific typhoon season to impact the nation.

Conson was poorly forecast by PAGASA. From July 12 to 13, Conson was forecast to hit Aurora and Isabela provinces. But, at 11 pm PST (1500 UTC) on July 13 PAGASA changed its forecast from hitting Aurora and Isabela provinces, to Quezon province, Metro Manila and southern Luzon provinces. However, residents living in those areas were not advised that the typhoon would hit their area and they also were not informed that public storm signal number 2 was raised. With this, severe damage ensued in the said areas. Later that same day, President Benigno Aquino III reprimanded PAGASA for failing to predict that Conson would pass over Manila.[6]

As a result, Aquino criticized PAGASA for not warning the residents of Metro Manila about the strong tropical storm that struck the nation's capital.[7] However, according to Dr. Nilo and PAGASA, the agency didn't have adequate equipment to "accurately" predict a movement of a storm and the weather forecasting instruments were too old and needed to be upgraded.

That is command responsibility. Alam mo na na outdated at hindi accurate ang mga gamit, bakit hindi niya agad sinabi na palitan. Nung nag-request naman pinalitan diba?

So imho tama lang na palitan siya. Hindi na siya dapat naghintay, nagsabi sana agad siya. Alangan naman na alam din agad ni PNoy yun, sa dami nanag iintindihin niya, dapat talaga subordinates report critical status to their leaders.

If i were Abnoy, i would not do that. He was just a few days into his leadership, so if i was him, i will try to understand where & what went wrong. As a new leader, one has to motivate the subordinate first and provide the right tools. When all this is done, they still screw up, then he has all the right to fire.

The way i see it, ginamait ni Abnoy yung event para magpakilala cya meaning, you better stand up or you'll be fired irregardless and he see Pagasa being a tech & support agency, walang politics walang military easy fray. But in the end, when he saw Pagasa people demoralized leaving the agency one by one for greener pasture only he move his ass.

And kung tama cya, Nilo would not be overseas by now being benefited by other country and earning much much more than when he was with Pagasa.

Pero in the end, PAGASA got better because of PNoy. It does not matter if you like it. Mas mahalaga marami mas makikinabang.

Normal lang to find greener pasture. That is their prerogative.

Hater gonna hate nga naman. Wala na tamang nagawa. tsk tsk
