PAG-ASA brain drain

(excerpt)
Weather forecaster Nonoy About was the last to leave for Dubai. He left last year. Another experienced forecaster, Robert Rivera, left in 2008.




In 2007, Ayla Bayaca, former officer in charge of PAGASA’s Legazpi City station, and Leonilo Millanes also accepted positions in Dubai.


Also last year, Cora Samar of the forecasting section left for a position in Australia.


Just recently, deputy administrator for operations Nathaniel “Ka Tani” Cruz left to work in Australia’s state weather bureau, making him the highest ranking PAGASA officer to leave for better climes.


Some employees told the Inquirer that Cruz was given three months to reconsider his decision to leave for abroad. Other employees said Cruz would not be returning.
