Nahihiya ako sa balitang ito na ang ibang bansa di nagtitiwala sa ating gobyerno. Tumatanggap lang ng sahod ang karamihan sa nasa gobyerno kasi. Kung ganoon lang din naman, dapat mga mahirap nalang ang dapat ilagay sa pwesto para kumita kasi mayaman naman yan sila eh. Atleast maiintindihan kung bakit may corruption, unlike sa mga corrupt na nakaupo sa pwesto na mayaman na nga nangungurakot pa! Haiyan Relief: UN Instructs U.S. Marines to Keep Relief Goods Away from Philippine Officials By Reissa Su Typhoon Haiyan, locally known as Yolanda, left the central part of the Philippines devastated with an official death toll of 2,357 and 600,000 people displaced, according to authorities. Countries and various organisations around the world sent donations, medical and military personnel to aid ongoing relief operations. Civilians displaced by Typhoon Haiyan board a U.S. Marine Corps KC-130 at Tacloban Air Base before being transported to Manila November 13, 2013. More than 30 countries have pledged aid, but distribution of relief goods has been hampered by impassable roads and rudderless towns that have lost leaders and emergency workers. REUTERS/Lance Cpl.

Over 10,000 Feared Dead in Philippines (VIDEOS) As international aid continues to pour for the Philippines, the countrys Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has confirmed that most of the donations will not be handed over to Philippine government agencies. In an interview on Nov 13, DFA spokesperson Raul Hernandez said all international monetary donors will be coursing money through relief organisations, foundations and charitable institutions. The DFA will serve as the first contact of countries and international organisations that has pledged to donate. It will then pass the information to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and other related agencies involved in relief operations.

The U.S. Marines were reportedly instructed not to let Philippine government officials and politicians touch the relief goods that will arrive in Samar. Five C130 panes are scheduled to arrive, carrying relief goods from the United Nations. Six days after one of the strongest typhoons ever recorded hit the cities and towns in central region of the Philippines, survivors became increasingly frustrated with the governments slow response to distribute badly needed food and water. Death toll controversy President Benigno Aquino said in a press briefing that local officials had overstated the number of deaths. The embattled president said the official tally was closer to 2,500 rather than the 10,000 intially reported. Aid workers in the devastated areas became skeptical of Mr Aquinos comments. There have been reports and footage of near anarchy as some people resorted to looting warehouses and shops to find food, water and supplies. Eight people were crushed to death when alleged looters decided to raid a government stockpile of rice in the town of Alangalang. Tacloban City Administrator Tecson John Lim said 90 per cent of the city had been destroyed and only 20 per cent of survivors have received relief goods. Mr Lim said the looters should not be treated as criminals since the people are growing desperate for food and water. He said the people had to do something for survival and self-preservation. au.ibtimes/articles/522107/20131114/united-nations-typhoon-haiyan-yolanda-philippines-tacloban.htm#.UoW_3L7n85t
