    28 April

    Under the Royal Decree of Spain, the Manila Observatory was recognized as an official institution under the Jesuits.

  • 1901

    22 May

    By act of the Philippine Commission, the Observatorio was re-organized under the Act No. 131 and was formally named as Weather Bureau under the administrative control of the Department of Interior.

  • 1917

    The Weather Bureau was placed under Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources when the latter was created.
