Philippines aid scandal: Food flown in from Britain ends up in shops hundreds of miles from typhoon

[kit_cebu]

Bitaw sir, kun airsofter ka kabalo ka kun unsay tinuod.. surplus army supplies nah siya, for sale or dili naa nah gipang display sauna pa. Gisensationalize lang sah medjas. Just admit it, you don't have the full truth ana nila.

yeah...just checked...
apparently, this is a practice there as well...

di man ko airsofter gud...no idea about it...

but i'd like to thank the media for "sensationalizing" it...they should be where it's "needed" to be.......unta...
this should also "divert" the next donations to directly providing it to the ones who needed it...like what UN just done...wala gi-agi sa mga KAWATAN...

[elvandesantos]

let me ask you, sir, are you implying we just keep silent about these issues? do you personally know someone nga giabandon sa government sa mga affected areas especially tacloban even one week after the storm? if not, imagina nalang kaha imo nang pamilya naa ngadto dayon ang mga gihatag sa uban nasod in good faith wala nangabot didto ug nangaluya na intawn sa kagutom imong mga anak or pamilya didto.

nya, what if you realize nga tinuod ang balita, sir, you want us to keep mum about it? i for one know that the issue with hoarding relief goods and distributing it only to "selected" voters is true kay nivolunteer intawn ko sa North Cebu and the mayor of Medellin (not an ally of the current cebu province officials) is the father of my friend, one of my closest friends when I was in elementary.

ahhh

1. I was talking about the MREs'
2. I was talking about the media always hyping up things (and you want to talk more about this surely someone can fill me in)
3. I am always not keen in the Aquino administration believe me on that, I have my own stories to tell.


for you...

1. Tacloban was fully cut-off from land, air and sea for days as observed by US
2. No one noticed the hand-full of footsoldiers who where designated to clean-up the airport to make it operational in 3days in preparation for the c130's to land.
3. While the news is widespread food is "on its way", yep it was still on it's way still
4. There was chaos in tacloban, security has to be addressed before relief goods are to be distributed
5. North Cebu, as unaffected Cebuanos in the city decided not to pour the help in leyte since alot of international flag is there already are diverting theirs to NorthernCebu. Yeah! kudos for that. "why wait when we can do it by ourselves"- that should be a motto for every #tapulan pinoys out there always waiting for the govt. to work on it for them.
6. Those 'selected' for the relief, it just so happen they haven't enough men in the barangay level to go ahead collect names from houses-houses since they lost the datas... the quick solution? COMELECs' list of voters, darn s*upid thing to do!

so nasulti nah nko hap, I am a person who view news 40% then 60% researching about it. For the current admin, I'm in no way a f*ckin YELLOW NAZI!

jeez sorry about that, I was busy on other stuff and was qouting on someone at my head when I wrote this one. My bad.

But yep, anyone could sell this one. D man tanan online sellers naa permit, mao ning kusog kaau ang uban business ron gamit social media. Yati, Liloan peace.

[æRLO]

naa may MRE that you can buy directly from suppliers. Kanang naay tatak nga "Government property" or United States DoD, maoy gi discourage ug sell, even though it is technically not illegal to do so. Dili ni pwede i-resell commercially because it is paid for by American taxpayers' money. I can't trust some of the pictures unless they were taken in the stall they were sold.

Frankly, I don't see why people would buy the stuff, unless it is for survival preparedness. They were alright, but its not something I would shell too much money for (IDK about the current MREs, I heard they are marginally better now.)

most airsofters are influence sah mga military... idolized mostly US and their gadgets.... having to show naa ka MRE or something that belong to the US armed forces... you'd be the talk of the town for those pip

So, hoax or half-truth? A "looter's" market exists in Tacloban, supposedly, so while the article may be a hoax, there is still some truth to the matter.
