ANC taps Weather Solutions for daily weather newscast

MANILA, Philippines — Aboitiz social enterprise Weather Solutions, Inc. has partnered with the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC), allowing the television network to utilize specialized data for its daily weather reports.

A partnership contract between the two firms was signed last April 25 at the Aboitiz Corporate Center in Bonifacio Global City by Susan Valdez, Weather Solutions chairman; Jojo Marasigan, Weather Solutions president; and Cillete Co, ANC chief operating officer.

One of the many industries generally affected by weather is the media/broadcast industry. Whether it is for the broadcast of weather information or the logistics of offsite newscasts, highly accurate weather information is a necessity. People’s lives could rely on the accuracy of the weather reports issued by media organizations.

Under the signed contract, Weather Solutions will also train ANC staff on basic weather knowledge and provide them with access to Weather Solutions’ highly-accurate weather data and special meteorological reports, among other highly-specialized weather data. Weather Solutions will now provide hyperlocal weather information all over the Philippines, which can be utilized for all weather reports of ANC.
