Badilla, Deputy Administrator for Operations and Services; Ms. Shirley S. David, Deputy Administrator for Administration and Engineering Services; and Dr. Marcelino Q. Villafuerte II, Deputy Administrator for Research and Development, whose message was delivered by Ms. Thelma A. Cinco, in extending their congratulations and encouragement to the graduates.

In his keynote message, Dr. Nathaniel T.

He also commended the dedicated training staff and lecturers for their guidance throughout the program.

The graduates are expected to return to their respective assignments and support the agency’s operations across the country, particularly in monitoring weather and climate conditions.
