who's got the link of this particular issue? we'll just be wasting our time on this thread if it turns out this is just one of those unfounded issues..

until somebody provides a link to that particular news then this is all i can say for now:

it's nothing more than just speculations and hearsay..

[BaDBoY]

yeah, it's hearsay but sad to say it's the truth...

[omad]

imong pasabot bro nga tinuod jud diay nga nahurot na ang mga donations? o tingalig gi safe-keeping lang usa unya kung makalimtan na ibaligya na sa katong in charge sa safe-keeping? naa kay detalye bro? kung tinuod man gani ni mura nig katong paga sulti-on nga "ang nasunugan gikawatan pa jud ug tiwas".

[iloveyou4ever]

murag sakto man siguro ni nga info kay nag away away naman ang mga leaders sa southern leyte kung kinsa ang mag handle sa biggest donations. Ang mayor daw ingon niya cash donations nalang daw ang gusto niya dawaton ron, why kaha? Nya ang Congressman daw diha mao ang nag keep sa mga donations nga butang gikan sa gawas. Wow swerte nila nya luoy ang mga victims!

Guinsaugon mudslide survivors asks for help
By PINOY GONZALES / PNS
March 17, 2006

In every activity such as charitable activism, opportunism always follows. And that seems to be the case with the victims and evacuees of the massive Guinsaugon mudslide in the remote coastal town of St. Bernard in Southern Leyte.

Three weeks ago after the horrible natural tragedy that left 103 dead and 973 missing, the world responded to help the 18 survivors and the nearly 300 Guinsaugon evacuees who were either in the mountains working, in the town's schools for their studies or were in the town proper some 4 kilometers from their village to attend to some errands.

Help came in the form of emergency response, then disaster relief activities followed by financial contributions and pledges made from around the Philippines and the world.

But all these has yet to make an impact to the lives of those left behind who has yet to feel a sense of normalcy in their lives because of the slow flow of assistance given them by so-called NGOs who were given the task to channel whatever help sent by Filipino organizations aboard.

When the PNS visited 7 of the 18 survivors together with the remaining members of their family in a day care center, separated from the other evacuees who were billeted in the Franciscan run school Rey Cristo, this writer found them lying in mats spread over several plywoods with limited food mostly sardines and noodles stock in a small sack.

Irenea Velasco who has the most recognizable face because of her several exposure with the international and national TV news media, started to tell her story with tears in her eyes reliving what had happened during that fateful Friday morning when she lost several family members and everything they had in a rather unsuspecting normal day.

But her mourning face turned a little lighter saying "our prayers that the media would return from Manila were answered." We feel we are being used by others for their own gain. But then we have yet to feel and received the several millions of pesos and dollars benevolent donor countries and individual around the world sent to groups promising to help us," she said in visayan dialect.

"We are not asking for money, we know how to work, all we want is a bit of normalcy where we can rest in our own homes, mourn our dead and reflect on what had happened and move on. Right now our primary concern is our survival, we have no house to go home too, no jobs to supports us, no farmlands to work in and no food in our tables, please relay this message to the President Gloria Arroyo," she continued.

When asked how much financial assistance she has received so far and from whom, she answered, "The Chinese Chamber of Commerce gave P1,000, boxer Manny Paquiao gave P300, LTO gave P2,000 and the Filipino Disaster Relief of Texas gave P400. We thank them all from the bottom of our hearts. I heard President Arroyo gave P5,000 each for us but we the 18 survivors of the mudslide have not received it yet."

important lesson here: if you want to help people in this predicament next time, please hand it out personally. don't entrust your donations with somebody else no matter how pure and genuine their intentions are..
