Aquino budget veto hurt rescue, relief operations


President Aquino says he won’t visit disaster areas until rehabilitation work is completed

RELIEF agencies were ill-equipped to deal with the back-to-back typhoons last week because President Benigno Aquino III had vetoed the use of calamity funds for disaster training and to prepare relocation sites, a lawmaker said Monday.

“We now feel the impact of the President’s veto power that resulted in the slow response in carrying out rescue and relief operations,” Kabataan Rep. Raymond Palatino said.

“There was little or no preparation at all.”

In Malacañang, Mr. Aquino said the government’s response to disasters was not enough and must be improved.

He told reporters he planned to visit the provinces affected by Typhoons Pedring and Quiel, but his Cabinet must first finish a rehabilitation plan for those provinces before he visited.

He must first discuss road clearing and repair, fuel supply and the resumption of power supply in the affected areas, and the damage to agriculture with the members of his Cabinet.

“This morning and this afternoon, the Cabinet will meet to discuss the rehabilitation plan,” Mr. Aquino said.

“When do we return to normal the roads that were destroyed? When can the landslides be cleared and the electricity brought back 100 percent?”

Meanwhile, opposition lawmakers whose districts were among the hardest hit by Pedring and Quiel on Monday said they may not be able to help rehabilitate those districts because their pork barrel had yet to be released by Malacañang.

House Deputy Minority Leader and Quezon Rep. Danilo Suarez, Ang Galing Party-list Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo, and Zambales Rep. Milagros Magsaysay called on the Aquino administration to have a heart and finally release their pork barrel.

“The pork is just piglets,” Suarez told the Manila Standard.

“I still don’t see it. I’ve been getting money from my own pocket to provide assistance to my constituents.”

Palatino said rescue and relief operations were inadequate despite a P19.2-billion calamity fund in this year’s national budget.

“I caution the inclusion of pre-disaster activities such as preparation of relocation sites ... and training of personnel engaged in direct disaster in the use of the Calamity Fund,” Mr. Aquino said in his veto message to the 2011 national budget.

“While said purpose is laudable, the same must be weighed against the imperious need of maintaining sufficient provision under the Calamity Fund for actual calamities and prevent its full utilization for pre-disaster activities.”

Mr. Aquino also said that such activities were already subsumed in the programs of various agencies.

But Palatino said the lack of preparation made the country look inexperienced in dealing with calamities, when it had already dealt with worse disasters such as those brought by tropical storm Ondoy and typhoon Peping in 2009.

“Congress had thought of inserting a provision that would require pre-disaster preparations because training of personnel was important, considering that the new administration had replaced the personnel who had more experience in handling calamities,” Palatino said.

The insertion was never made, however.

For this year, Palatino said, the President had P5 billion allocated for calamities and P14.2 billion for risk-disaster preparedness, funds that only the President controlled.

The P19.2 billion for this year alone had already surpassed the P18.6 billion in accumulated allocations during President Gloria Arroyo’s nine years in office, Palatino said.

“With the huge budget, the President should have already put in place infrastructure like flood control projects in such flood-prone areas as Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga ang Pangasinan that were expected to reel from being submerged in floodwaters in the next four to five days,” Palatino said.

For 2012, the President’s proposed budget for calamity funds was even increased to P7.5 billion and some P14.2 billion for risk-disaster preparedness under the Special Purpose Fund, Palatino said.

The House approved the total P21.7 billion on second reading, and that brought Mr. Aquino’s total budget for calamity and disaster funds to P40.9 billion in two years.

Palatino said the Palace should not use the Bayanihan spirit (self-help) as an excuse for its “insensitivity and indifference.”

He said Mr. Aquino’s veto came even as the House opened three days of activity to mark the 10th anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers.

“Volunteerism should inspire and be harnessed but not to be used by the government as an excuse to be slow in its response to calamities,” Palatino said.

Invisible, not transparent

"Some people who accompanied President Noynoy Aquino on his recent visit (his third) to Japan have suggested that the hours he spent on a “side trip” to Tokyo’s Akihabara District may have something to do with his public disappearance after his arrival. Akihabara, for those unaware, is the neon-lit shopping area in Japan that specializes in selling all kinds of electronic gadgets and goods.
Aquino, according to these people, set off on his tour of the district ostensibly to purchase the latest game console for a young relative. The President has already gone on record to say that he doesn’t play video games, so perhaps the purchase was truly made for a younger person close to his heart.

But these “chismosos” who went with the President swear that Aquino took a very hands-on approach to the matter of finding the right gaming console, a task that he could have easily delegated to some tech-savvy flunky in his party. This made them suspect that the purchase was not just for the relative in question.

And after Aquino disappeared from public view, supposedly because he doesn’t relish the attention that he would have received had he gone to some flood-ravaged area, for example, then these gossips felt vindicated. Those Kinect-equipped boxes can be really addictive and could keep any gamer occupied for days on end, we’ve been told.

* * *

When Aquino promised he’d be “transparent,” we didn’t know that he really meant “invisible.” And Aquino’s official mouthpieces still haven’t addressed the questions that millions of calamity-hit Filipinos are still asking.

Where was Aquino when the country was being battered by two consecutive typhoons? Why didn’t he make a public appearance until last Sunday—and then, only to fail to do anything significant for the suffering masses who have turned to him for aid?

We only have the word of presidential spokesman Abigail Valte that Aquino dislikes “photo ops” staged during calamities, preferring instead to work behind the scenes. He was really working and not playing video games on a brand-new console he had bought for himself in Japan."

here's something that should raise the blood pressures of the many anti Pnoy..

P-Noy’s character is easily misunderstood and the “evil eyes” have been capitalizing on this in promoting a distorted presidential image that an incompetent Messaging Secretary fails to clarify. P-Noy’s character is easily misunderstood because he’s such a deviation from other politicians.

Where most politicians would do anything and everything to attract media coverage and public attention, P-Noy would rather keep his official contacts with media to what are required by the job.
By nature, P-Noy is self-effacing and would prefer to stay out of the limelight.

The recent high marks that P-Noy registered in the Pulse Asia and SWS surveys could be an indicator that P-Noy’s bosses have adjusted to his presidential personality and have learned to appreciate the virtues of their president.
Convinced that economic growth will not happen unless we curb our population growth, P-Noy openly fought the Catholic Church leaders over the RH bill. In the face of Catholic Taliban bullying, P-Noy displays grace under fire. P-Noy has shown decisiveness when that was needed. Prisco Nilo and Lito Alvarez can attest to this.

A laid-back administration

There are so many silly remarks coming out in the aftermath of consecutive typhoons Pedring and Quiel. I want to laugh but can’t, especially when I see people from Central Luzon wading in neck-deep water.

The most stupid of all is that statement that the President did not want to immediately visit the typhoon-struck areas because he did not want to become the center of attraction when he visits. This was according to deputy spokesman Abigail Valte.

Aquino has expectedly been criticized for being laid-back and insensitive. Valte now says the President will wait until the situation has stabilized and until assistance has been given before he visits.

Science and Technology Undersecretary Graciano Yumul says people have not learned the lessons of Ondoy. How can a sub-Cabinet official be so insensitive?

Now comes the President saying that people in flood-stricken areas can be forcibly be evacuated from their homes. My gulay, to where? Shall they leave everything for thieves to loot?

The bottom line is that there has been no program at all on how to meet the challenges of climate change. In these situations, it’s the poor who suffer the most.

kanang last part, ang answer kay, ang plano ra jud n Noynoy was to go after GMA all in his 6-year term... For the country you say? I bet he is still thinking, because he has not prepared one.
