(Eagle News)–The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration has suspended its activities lined up for today, March 23.
In a statement, PAGASA said the suspension of the activities to commemorate the 70th World Meteorological Day with the theme: “Climate and Water,” and to celebrate its 155 years of providing Meteorological Services in the Philippines with the theme: “A Legacy in Retrospect to the Pillars of Meteorological Service” was in compliance with Proclamation no. 929 of 2020.
Some of these activities include a historical walkthrough exhibition of the 155 years of PAGASA, a science symposium, the PAGASA Loyalty Awards and the conferment of the Wind Vane Awards, the highest award given by the agency to its partners on disaster risk reduction.
PAGASA said the activities will push through “once the health crisis is over.”
“The agency will still join the World Meteorological Organization in recognizing the passion of weather forecasters and observers, as well as highlight how Science and Technology (S&T) can aid the Filipinos,” PAGASA said.
