The World Meteorological Organization, as the successor of the International Meteorological Organization, created in 1873, has its fundamental mission to support the countries of the world in providing meteorological and hydrological services to protect life and property from natural disasters related to weather, climate and water, to safeguard the environment, and to contribute to sustainable development. This cannot happen without the necessary observations, research and operations that develop the understanding and knowledge of weather and climate.

Since 1961, World Meteorological Day has commemorated the coming into force on 23 March 1950 of the Convention establishing the World Meteorological Organization and the essential contribution that National Meteorological and Hydrological Services make to the safety and well-being of society. Each year, the celebrations focus on a theme of topical interest.

The theme for this year, “Climate knowledge for climate action,” provides an opportunity to take stock of the climate knowledge built in the last decades as an essential base to support the path towards more ambitious action to address climate change and climate variability.

Mission
Pushing the EDM scene and making the philippines home for the biggest and most attended dance music Festivals around Asia.

Description
Bigfish was born out of passion—a passion for dance music and its power to submerge you in a range of emotions, to awaken your suppressed energies, to unite a room full of strangers into one happy, heaving, hollering mass.

When Bigfish came to life before the turn of the century, the idea of superstar DJs spinning in branded parties in Manila was all but a fantasy. Sure, there were club events he
re and there, but none stemmed from any real, dedicated organization, nor any all-consuming desire to propagate the testament of dance. But Manila was ready for a revolution, and it took a single, struggling neophyte dance outfit to spark it. By bringing in the hottest talents the world had to offer, Bigfish kept the country up to speed with the rest of the global dance scene, thereby changing the face of clubbing in the Philippines.

In 2000, Team Bigfish brought in mammoth club brand Cream for a one-night gig and were floored by the white-hot reception as party-loving Pinoys rushed to the Cream Halloween Ball in droves. Two years later, Chicane’s Manila visit set a new record for Bigfish, bringing out unprecedented numbers of partyphiles all eager to hear the electronic music legend spin in the flesh. Pretty soon, more and more world-renowned DJs and club brands were making a pitstop at these humble shores: Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Slinky, Fierce Angels, Housexy, Pacha, Defected in the House, Global Underground, Fierce Angels, Amnesia Ibiza, and Space Ibiza.

Bigfish had become the channel through which we could claim a place in the universal club community, and through which they, too, could say howdy to us.
