(Check the year of the publication) In 1973, President Ferdinand Marcos adopted Project Storm Fury where he attempted, using the United States model, to weaken tropical cyclones by flying aircraft into them and seeding with silver iodide.
Although Project Storm Fury failed, the point is President Marcos had a VISION and tried his damn best to save the Philippines from destructive storms. After all, science is trial-and-error thing.
Looking at the positive side, this experiment provided a greater understanding of storms and it allowed improved forecasting of monstrous storms which PAGASA is still using as of this time.
Five presidents after Marcos, and with another Aquino as the sitting President, no leader of the Philippines has come close to the same vision of President Marcos -- considering the 'low tech' era of the 1970s.

From anti-typhoon rockets during the Marcos administration, what do we have now? Only three C130s under Aquino.
you are an idiot.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are delusional.
Deletedumbass..
ReplyDeletewe have 3 C-130s, 3 C-295s, 2 C-130T refurbished from US
And it's GMA who neglected the AFP for 9 years
And Aquino is catching up because of GMA's neglect of the Armed Forces for 9 years
This article logic is idiocy
1970s?? Cloud seeding?
Marcos could have just used that millions of USD of loans he got from IMF and ADB to Industrialize the Philippines
WHICH HE NEVER DID.. BTW
all he did was build stuff.
Stuff that we cannot pay.
Moron.
DeleteDude, your fave prez's "Anti-Typhoon" rocket stories are all FAKE.
ReplyDeleteThere are no such thing.
Check your citations. Ask the Ph Navy themselves. Not a single one ever mentioned that was made for the purpose of weather manipulation. As in WALA.
Malamang fake news na naman yan ng mga loyalista ng pamilya nila.
