DISASTER PREPAREDNESS. Pagasa informed people about the coming of “Pablo”, a weather disturbance that was said to be very strong. Information were shared in the social, as well as conventional media. “Nakahibalo gyud ang mga tao kay grabe ang sharing of information,” said an Ear informer.
“PANAWAY.” But despite the efforts of the weather bureau, there were still people who criticized the government agency. “Nagsige og ingon nga ‘Maayo unta og sakto ang forecast sa Pagasa.’ Masakto or masayop, pasalamat ta nga naandam ta. Mao ganing forecast ang tawag ana. Pwede madayon, pwede dili. Makahibalo ba gyud diay ta kung asa padulong ang bagyo!” the informer added.
