Senate to rush incentives for weather forecasters

To avert a brain drain from the continuous migration of meteorologists, forecasters and even air traffic controllers to other countries, the Senate has vowed to speed up the passage of measures that will provide bigger incentives to technical workers.

Sen. Ralph Recto noted that two pending bills could effectively address the concerns of science and technology personnel in the Philippines and prevent their exodus, and both were to be introduced in plenary in three months.
