I saw the latest video ni Anderson where he said that the mood and the situation in Tacloban is finally seeing a shift and improvement with the arrival of several hundred more US Marines. The US marines, with Gen. Kennedy at the helm, managed to get Tacloban airport up and running, so planes and goods are finally pouring in. A couple more US helicopters arrived, along with planes from other countries, so the situation is improving.

While I'm so so so grateful to the Americans for everything, where's our government in all this? While we are not rich, we are a nation of 98 million people. What we do have is manpower. So many Filipinos are willing and eager to volunteer. At the behest of the president, I'm sure millions would not even think twice to help out in the relief and cleanup efforts in Tacloban and other hard-hit areas, wala lang sila own resources to do so. Asa naman ang millions of aid from other countries, mao unta ni gamitan sa kuarta oi, Pnoy! MR President, gipasagdan naman lang intawon nimo ang mga Amerkano maoy nangunay ug lihok didto sa Tacloban. Paka uwaw man lang ka Pnoy oi!

Anyway, my takeaway from Anderson's latest video was, and here's my thought on this --- mas maayo pa si Gen Kennedy nalang presidente sa Pilipinas.

Excerpt from Gen Kennedy's interview with Steve Herman of VOA.

U.S. Brigadier General Paul Kennedy, who is leading a group of U.S. Marines on the ground in Tacloban, said that the "entire Pacific Command" will respond to the crisis". The George Washington carrier group has arrived in the Leyte Area and a second strike group in route to Hawaii from the US west coast is on standby if needed."

Sounds like he is more concerned than the Philippine government on the magnitude of these crisis.

nahurot na akong kaspa. kinawt sa akong ulo tungod sa kalagot aning mga tawhana

^mao btaw pud na akong na feel watching the videos and the interviews with the marines, people from the UN, people from the World Food Programme...mas mura pa man naa silay compassion sa mga Filipinos kaysa sa atong "leaders"...

Hoy PNoy, you were voted by the people to be our "leader"...do your job and LEAD! Enough of this idiotic indecisiveness! When you took your oath as President of this country, you have given away your right to buckle under pressure! I don't care if you go to your bedroom at night and cry in the corner like a little baby because you are overwhelmed by the problems of the country. You can cry on the inside if you want, but the job you signed up for is a job for grown ups! So guess what? Put on a brave face, put on your big-boy pants and your grown up boots...and do your JOB!

Video: WHERE IS THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT?! WHERE IS NOYNOY?! I haven't seen a large Philippine military presence out in these areas? the Philippines have not been invested over the years, through the years of corruption, through the years of the gov
