What is high will come down, and what is low will be submerged - the late Punongbayan of Philvolcs

It is more fun criticizing

Former Philvolcs chief Punong bayan figured prominently in the Mt. Pinatubo situation.

Once in an interview, his view on landslide at mountains and the submerging of coastal areas in the future was asked. 

He said that what is high will come down and what is low will be submerged.   

That means that if you will have projects, or human settlement, you will avoid steep mountains and hills.  And also lowlands.

Sen Imee Marcos criticizes Pag asa for lack of warning on onset of typhoon

It is more fun criticizing

Senator Imee Marcos has called out Pag Asa (our weather forecaster) for lack of early or total information on typhoon onset.   Pag asa officials have accepted the call out as constructive criticism and promised improvements.

However as an observer, Pag asa has been consistent and meticulous in informing the public at large fromm the development of the LPA its distance, and expected  arrival into Philippines PAR.  Lately their briefing incluses:    

    1.  Wind strength and direction
    2.  Gale 
    3.  Rainfall
    4.  Storm surges 

They are comprehensive warnings.

The fault may be in citizen and LGU lacks of response and obedience, or paying heed to the danger being faced by a locality.    What else can be improved at PAG ASA?
