  • Ty-Funs in the Philippines

    August 3, 2012 Didn't even heard that Typhoon Gener made a land fall but still, it left us terribly damaged. "Gener" with an International name of "Saolo" left the Philippines with 37 people dead and 33 were injured according to GMA News as of today. As I open social media sites, there were lot of posts there which hopes for the suspension of classes. There were no announced Typhoon Signal for Manila (the Capital of the Philippines) as far as I know but still, even college students were protesting for the suspension of classes through social networks due to strong winds and flooded roads.

    Another event for helping the environment! A Run for Pasig River is annually held in different locations in the Philippines since 2008 (As far as I can recall).

Besides those funds doesn’t just go to someone else’s pockets but to the needy. In this case, our beloved Pasig River. So who is "Pasig River...

Light to Dark: New Color Coded Signals

Posted by Admin On 2:30 PM Comments



Announced last August 9,  2012

At approximately 8:30 in the morning, PAGASA announced the newly color coded warning signals.

As you can recall from my post "From Yellow to Green..." Green was the previous position holder of the color code Orange. Still, their description was the same... It was only the colors that was changed.

From what I've read... (comments)
It seems that the color code: Orange has higher acceptance rating to the people rather than its previous color.
According to someone,
"If you look at the stoplight, the color code: Green means "go" or "don't stop".... If that was the color assigned for those warning signals, then it seems pretty dangerous."
Besides, green doesn't seem so alarming if seen by the eyes. It was like accompanied by the term "peace" or "nature".

As the color turns "light-to-dark" it signifies "calm-to-disaster" to me. So I think I'd agree with this change and as the new code emerges, the Philippines is taking another step to recovery from the calamity.

What about you? Do you think the color fits well?
