Aanhin pa ang damo kung patay na ang kabayo? (A special report from a volunteer)
Oct 21st, 2009 by ella
Dear friends,
I�m
asking your help to spread the word. Tulungan po ninyo akong ikalat
ito. Beyond this, we should also demand action. I disabled a plugin so
you can copy the photos of relief goods rotting in DSWD warehouses. You
can link this post to your blogs, facebook, websites etc. You can also
email the photos.
Philippine
News (US based Philippine newspaper) will use this as its front page
story this week. Every Filipino has the right to know where the tons of
donations from the UN and other counties go. Kahit po nakakahiya sa mga
nag-donate. Kung sa ganitong paraan, matutulungan natin ang mga
nasalanta, then by all means, let�s do it.
For
those who have the time, please try to volunteer sa DSWD warehouses.
Getting in was not easy. A friend had to put in a word for us. Let�s
see kung madali nang makapasok sa DSWD warehouse ang mga volunteers.
Please read on and good luck to us.
Ella

Kahapon,
tinanong ng Philippine News si DSWD Secretary Esperanza Cabral:
Editor of Philippine News: Why are the relief goods in DSWD warehouses not moving?
DSWD Secretary Esperanza Cabral: Wala kasing volunteers.
This
short interview was done over the phone. Philippine News wanted to hear
her side pero ayaw niyang makipag-usap sa press. After four tries,
pinasabi na lang niya ang maikling sagot na ito sa secretary niya -
�Walang volunteers�.
I
don�t want to accuse her of corruption but at the very least she is
showing signs of being totally incompetent. We are in a state of
calamity where every second counts. May namamatay araw-araw dahil sa
sakit.
In my opinion, these deaths could have been prevented if Secretary Cabral had tried a little harder to do her job.
Deaths from Philippine storms nears 1,000
�Tropical
Storm Ketsana left 420 dead and 37 missing when it flooded 80 percent
of Manila on September 26, a disaster the government saidaffected 4.35 million people.
Some areas are still flooded three weeks later and189,000 people remain in evacuation centres,
Typhoon
Parma hit the northern Philippines on October 3 and lingered as a
tropical storm for a week, triggering landslides that killed 438 people
and leaving 51 missing mostly in mountain communities.
The government agency said Parmaaffected 4.16 million people, including more than32,000 who remain at evacuation centres.�
During the first week after the storm, lumabas ang �bayanihan spirit� ng mga Pinoy. �Makatulong lang kahi�t konti,� katwiran
nila.
kung walang volunteers, ano �to, komiks?
From Stella Arnaldo�s blog:
�At
the offices of many civic groups and private organizations, hundreds of
people showed up to volunteer in packing relief goods.
At
the Tulong Bayan center at the Expo Centro in Cubao, Most of the
volunteers were adolescents as young as 10 years old, along with their
kuya or ate in high school and college.
They
came in huge numbers, many of them barkadas, classmates or siblings,
dressed just in their tees and shorts, wearing their Havaianas. All
were just enthusiastic to do their share!

GMA asked world for donations
Our
government begged the world for more donations. Sumagot ang buong mundo
sa ating panawagan. In less than three weeks, dumaong ang mga barko,
ibinaba mula sa mga cargo planes, i-diniliver ng mga trak at container
vans ang sandamakmak na relief goods. Cash donations were in the
millions of dollars.
But these donations must be coursed
through DSWD
Nagpalabas ng directive ang pangulo. Individuals, private companies and other nations wereENCOURAGED to send their donations to DSWD. I blogged about it here and the video of her announcement here.
This PGMA directive sounded suspicious to me then. Now I know why. Here�s the story.
A
group of eight people, your ate Ella included, went to one of DSWD
warehouses to help in repacking relief goods. We know they need
volunteers pero hindi namin akalaing WALANG TAO TALAGA SA LOOB NG
WAREHOUSE!
As in sa isang humongous warehouse (1000++ sq.m) NA PUNONG-PUNO NG RELIEF GOODS HANGGANG BUBONG,ISANG DSWD employee lang at ISANG SECURITY GUARD ang tao!!
Kailangang magpa-register at i-schedule ang volunteering

1) UNICEF Registration (as a volunteer)
The warehousecan only take as much as 50 volunteers
at a time or per shift. Here you will find that there is a 4-hour
shift, and an option for a 6-hour shift for the volunteers to indicate
their availability.
What �volunteers�? Nasaan?
Aside from the 8 of us? Nope, there was
nobody there. Bakit kailangan ang scheduling? Feeling hindi ba magkamayaw at nagu-unahan ang mga volunteers?
I know somebody who wanted to volunteer many times. She was always bumped off, laging nirere-schedule kasi�there were too many volunteers� daw. At tuwing Sunday lang daw puwede. What the hell is going on here?
Nakatambak ang donations ng UNICEF sa warehouse, local and international
Mga
banig na dapat ay nahihigaan ng mga nasalanta. Mga imported camp beds
na hindi na yata masisilayan ng mga biktima. Mga kumot na hindi naman
nakabalot sa katawan nila. At mga pagkaing hindi sumasayad sa sikmura
nila.
The relief goods are not going anywhere
We
arrived at about 8 am and left by midafternoon and yes, you guessed it
right. Kami pa rin ang tao bukod sa isang DSWD employee sa loob ng
warehouse maghapon. Walang ibang dumating.
The
relief goods are not moving. By the way things look, they are not going
anywhere. Hindi maglalakad mag-isa ang mga donations na ito papunta sa
mga evacuation centers.
LET THE PICTURES DO THE TALKING
Note: Pinagbawalan kaming kumuha ng
pictures sa loob ng warehouse. I wonder why.

�Not a creature was moving, not even a mouse.�

Look
Ma, sampung lata ng sardinas! How generous! Kaldero ang unang ilalagay
sa sako. Sabong panglaba (bar soap) at sampung sardinas sa ilalim.
Siyam na sabon sa gilid ng kaldero. Local goods lahat syempre.

Tapos papatungan ng isang tuwalya at isang pack ng sanitary napkin. IS THIS HOW THEY MANAGE THE DONATION????? Download?mid=1%5f129964%5fAFR9v9EAAYMlSuplmgcATXiIGxo&pid=2

Sabay
tatahiin na ang sako. O di ba, parang asong tinapunan ng buto ang mga
nasalanta? Eniwey, busog naman sila sa SAMPUNG lata ng Mega sardinas

Do not delay [center] IS THIS HOW THEY MANAGE THE DONATION????? Download?mid=1%5f129964%5fAFR9v9EAAYMlSuplmgcATXiIGxo&pid=2

YOU THINK?? WTF is the matter with these people? Mag-iisang buwan na mula nang masalanta ang mga kababayan natin. ISANG BUWAN!!Do you mean �do not delay ang dati nang delayed�?? Shet.
Anong ginagawa ng mga donations na ito sa warehouse??APAT na warehouse ang nasa loob ng compound na �yon!APAT na warehouse na punong-puno ng inaalikabok na relief goods! Relief goods na ayaw yata ibigay sa mga
nasalanta. Halatang-halata.
Marami pang pabubulukin

Wow! May bagong shipment na naman! At the rate DSWD is moving, next year na madi-discover kung ano ang laman ng mga kahong ito.

�The
first of two of the largest high-energy food shipments from the United
Nations World Food Program (WFP) arrived in the country two days ago
for victims of storm �Ondoy� and typhoon �Pepeng.�
The
biscuits were fortified with essential vitamins and minerals for
supplementary feeding to children, pregnant women and the elderly in
evacuation camps. Another100 tons of biscuits will arrive on Oct. 24, in a continuing effort to provide food assistance to flood victims.

Sige, ideretso �nyo ulit �yan sa DSWD warehouse. Para AMAG naman ang abutin ng biskwit... at sapot ng gagamba. Conclusion Sa maghapon namin sa warehouse,nakagawa kami ng 150 sacks of relief goods.150 bags of relief goods lang ang lumabas sa warehouse na �yon that day. At nandoon pa rin sa loob ang mga imported relief goods, safe, sound and packed as the day they arrived. Nakisakay kami palabas sa isang DSWD
delivery van. Gusto sana kaming ihatid ng driver hanggang Makati pero
wala raw siyang sobrang gasolina. Ibinaba na lang niya kami sa gitna ng
EDSA. Millions of dollars in donations, walang extrang pang-gasolina. Susulpot din siguro ang laman ng mga
mahiwagang kahon at mapapasakamay din ng mga tao...sa ARAW NG ELEKSYON.
O mabibili na nila ang mga imported goods na �yon sa mga puwesto sa
Quiapo at Divisoria. Suggestions lang po sa DSWD: �
Alam �nyo palang walang mag-volunteer sa inyo, bakit hindi kayo
mag-hire ng mga tao? Bayaran �nyo ng arawan para mag-repack. Ang daming
walang trabaho, makakatulong pa kayo. Hindi naman malaking kabawasan
�yon sa bilyong pisong donasyon na natanggap ninyo. �
Isa pa, gaano ba karami ang mga sundalo natin? Hindi ba puwedeng
ipagawa sa kanila �yan? Baka isang araw lang, tapos na ang problema
�nyo �
Bakit hindi �nyo ibigay ang trabaho sa mga NGO, churches, private
charities, TV stations? I�m sure they are more than willing to help.
Time is of the essence. Huwag kayong suwapang. Obvious ba, hindi �nyo
naman kaya.
Kung talagang gugustuhin ninyong
makarating agad sa mga kawawang biktima ang mga donasyong �yon, nagawa
�nyo na �yan. Maraming paraan...kung talagang gusto �nyo lang.You are
the government. You have the power, the resources and the money. You
just have to really care.

You are the government. You have the power, the resources and the money. You just have to really care.

Pls forward until it reaches the media and other government agencies to take action.

Regards,
Ren Factolerin

Hello,

Sigurado ka ba dyan sa mga sinasabi mo? Sa tutuusin marami din na puntahan ang donation na nagmula sa government natin tulad sa lugar namin.

Ang nakakatakot ay ang nagpapadala ng limpak-limpak na salapi sa mga abs-cbn foundation. Nasan na din ang mga pera? Hindi bat dapat pera na lang ang dapat ibigay sa mga pamilya na naapektuhan ng bagyo? Bakit sa foundation nila dinederetso ang pera. Puro paganda lang din ang nakikita natin...pag nagaabot ng relief goods ang mga artista at sikat na mga tao. Nanonood ka ba ng government channel natin? Kung nanuod kayo ang dami nilang ginagawa para tumulong sa kapwa pilipino pero hindi nila kailangan I-media lahat.

Mahirap ang akusasyon mo at nakakatakot. Madaming sangay ang gobyerno na nagtutulungan sa ganitong panahon ang problema ay nasa mayor at hanggang sa mga brgy. May mga taong nasisilaw sa mga goods pero sana hindi lahat ay sisihin sa kanila.

Kapatid, marami ding pamilya ang nakinabang at nakakuha ng tulong. Subukan mo kayang mag volunteer sa dswd para malaman mo ang gawain nila.

salamat,
lolamo
