  • Prisco Duarte Nilo (born 1957) is a Filipino meteorologist. He is the former administrator of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). Nilo joined the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) in March 1984 as a meteorologist. He was appointed as PAGASA director in November 2007 by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. On August 6, 2010, the weather forecaster was relieved of his post as administrator of PAGASA by President Benigno Aquino III. The former PAGASA chief had been criticized repeatedly for supposed errors in storm predictions by the agency. According to Aquino, Nilo was fired due to inaccurate predictions of typhoon, particularly during the rush of Typhoon Conson (Basyang). The new Agency executive was named by Secretary of Science and Technology Mario Montejo, who eventually appointed Graciano Yumul in the position. After such events, the meteorologist was reassigned to another office at the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) where PAGASA is one of the attached agencies. (en)
