Tacloban after a year

A slow rehabilitation for the Yolanda Victims is what many people feel after a year when super typhoon Yolanda hit the Eastern Visayas including Palawan.

The people are still suffering from their lost, they are not yet recovered from that tragedy. And the government leaders are slow in giving help.

More than anything, the people are suffering from lost and loneliness.

Last September, I was in Tacloban and I saw the hardships they encounter every day lives.

Many  are still homeless. Still struggling to survive and to earn money.

People needs work to support their daily needs.

According to reports, President Aquino said that they have been giving a lot of help in Tacloban.

There's no concrete rehabilitation plan.

But the people doesn't feel their help and rehabilitation efforts.

So what is the plan?

Rehablitation Czar Panfilo Lacson said that they can implement their rehabilitation program because President Aquino gave his approval to his proposals.

With that, state auditors have pointed out several deficiencies in the way National Government agencies and local government units responded to help typhoon Yolanda survivors.

The recorder donations continues to be delayed while almost P800 million in relief funds sit unused in the bank accounts of the Department of Social Welfare and Development

No one has prepared and nobody knows how to handle a recovery plan for the huge disaster.

The government must know how to deal with it instead of putting political colours on the situation.

Recently, the people from Leyte offered prayers in the memory of their loss. Survivors of Typhoon Yolanda in this devastated city marks the first anniversary of the killer storm.

Known to be the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record killing about 6,300 people alone. About 4 million went homeless.

Places like Guiuan, Samar, Tanauan, Palo and Tacloban were the most devastated.

But Tacloban is the hardest hit city. After a year they still struggle rebuilding their homes.

Department of Budget and Management (DBM) reportedly released a total of P52 billion to support government relief and rehabilitation efforts in affected provinces.

There's a strong political conflict which rooted from the issue - President Pnoy is an Aquino and the Tacloban Mayor is a Romualdez.

And that help supposedly to rebuild Tacloban was not provided.

I saw the real situation in Tacloban and that support given as seen on TV was not 100% true.

During my stay last September I directly heard personal stories from the people from Tacloban.

According to them, there's really big help but it is not coming from the local government.

The people I talked to were disappointed to the death count declared by the NDRMC.

The survivors says they don’t agree with this declaration. According to them, the DOH sent 20,000 body bags and they used it all.

The possibility of the people died from Yolanda is almost more than 6,300.

Many are disappointed because of the slow response. Plus there are people saying that the true death count is much more than what is recorded.

...that President Aquino choose to bring donations to Palo instead in Tacloban.

When President Aquino went to Tacloban they said he didn't stay that long.

Aquino was not sincere at all about the real situation. More than 7,000 died and went missing, and anger at him arise for failing to respond to their needs even after a year.

Non-government organization coming from other countries  are the one that gives true help.

Local government has provided transitional homes as temporary comfort.

The national government showed a lot of deficiencies. It only shows that they have not yet acted on providing permanent houses.

After one year the people needs real help and this is a call to the government to give assistance and forget about the political issues.

Are they hiding the truth?

There are claims that government doesn’t want to release the true numbers of the death toll of the tragedy. He skipped helping Tacloban city.

In time of Crisis

Truck ban in Manila was lifted. Mayor Joseph Estrada on Saturday lifted the Manila truck ban effective noon in Manila to help address the problem of port congestion during a press conference in Manila, aired on "News TV Live" and radio dzBB.

Mayor Estrada issued Executive Order 67, ordering the immediate lifting of the truck ban in the city to give way to the efforts of the national government to address ports congestion, blamed for heavy traffic in Metro Manila, GMA reports.

Philippine national government appeals on this issue.

Malacañang appealed for more patience as the government seeks to solve the problem of port congestion.

Palace asks for patience as it works on ports problem. The President has already ordered the formation of a task force to deal with the problem specifically.

These past few days, Manila experiences major traffic congestion. The most recent was the NLEX traffic last September 5, 2014

MRT system also encountered mechanical problems. Palace asks for patience as it works on the problem.

MRT commuters challenge the senators to ride the train and experience the situation.

The frequent MRT breakdowns halted the operations affecting many public passengers.

Is asking for patience help solve the problems?

Mismanagement of the MRT and the traffic in the metro won't be solved.

It's a matter of good leadership. It's a matter of good governance of the President.

A better decision-making in terms of management. There are criticisms saying that President Aquino has been closing his eyes in this problem.

Hopefully he is not sleeping. If he keep on asking patience and not doing immediate actions, he is not going to solve the problem.

Open your eyes.

It has been so many years. It is time that he immediately respond to it.

He might be correct when he say it is Manila city 's fault about the traffic congestion but whatever the reason, he should be creating a master plan on fixing this problem - mismanagement of the MRT and the traffic in the metro.

Will PNoy run for another term?

If PNoy runs for another term...

...then we deserve an explanation.

In a statement on a response of the Presidential Spokesperson, Secretary Edwin Lacierda, during a briefing on August, 22 2014 released on the following day in the official gazette.

The Palace clarifies the response of the Presidential Spokesperson in a briefing yesterday which he was asked if Aquino has plans of running for President for the second time.

The Palace clears the issue that this is not the case. The President has neither decided on term extension nor on endorsing a candidate, owing to the fact that his efforts are focused on more pressing matters of state.

Palace adds that it should be noted that the 2016 elections will push through, and that the administration will always follow the processes set by the Constitution.

...that the statement may have caused.

But just in case President Aquino has plans of running again, will the people give him another chance?

Another six years of term. We must think about it...Think a few reasons why not.

1. The Aquino administration's satisfaction rating fell on several key issues - including corruption and hunger - in the last quarter of 2013. It was a roller-coaster ride on the issue involving DAP, eradicating graft and corruption.

His plan of fighting against corruption was only good at first. While many people are struggling in life, the corruption cases among the government is still increasing. The tuwid na daan is not tuwid anymore.

Is it time to give chance to others who are more deserving to lead the Philippines.

2. The oil price spiked during his term. During his term theres always a price hike but seldom price rollback. The jeepney fare increased, commuters has no choice. Even protesters failed to stop the increase. No one does.

Economy were unchanged. Last June 2013 Ulat ng Bayan conducted a survey, from June 20 to July 4, Forty-three percent said the economy is unchanged. On the other hand, 29 percent said it worsened, while 28 percent believed it had improved Read more: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/456301/survey-shows-4-in-10-filipinos-dont-think-the-economy-moved-at-all#ixzz3BVFp6TAN

3. Personalan. Revengeful. PNoy didn't sign the petition for Nora Aunor to become a National Artist. Rumor has it that during the campaign period, Ms. Aunor campaigned for Aquino's opponent and that made him mad during those days.

4. PNoy's intention of extending his term for another six years is ridiculous. And since the constitution allows only one term for the President, hopefully it will not be her sister Kris Aquino who will run for him.

Aquino loves saying motherhood statements. He recently suffered a big drop in Pulse Asia Survey. He’s trying to divert the attention away from his own shortfalls. The Philippines may have advanced in his regime but the improvements are not based on his accomplishments but the previous administration's.

5. Failure to appoint an effective DOTC Secretary. MRT3 has been poorly maintained which is managed DOTC/Abaya/government.  The Dept. of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and MRT-3 forced their way into actual operations precisely to award the contract to Global-APT’s dela Cruz. Dela Cruz not only is a compadre of Abaya, but also a campaigner for DOTC predecessor Mar Roxas in 2010.

On a note, the SWS noted the Aquino administration scored a "very bad" -51 rating for "resolving the Maguindanao massacre case with justice," below the "poor" -26 in March 2013.

Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike, good or bad idea?

Laguna is such a nice place.

During his fifth State of the Nation Address, President Aquino said a mega dike in Laguna and a green city in Subic are among the top public private partnership (PPP) projects being eyed by the government.

The estimated cost for this project is about 36.7 billion pesos

The intention is good, but it should have been a project prioritized and already implemented since 2013. Unfortunately, until now, nothing has been started.

Secondly, will it benefit the residents of Laguna despite fishing is their only means of living?

According to him, bidding for the Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike would begin before the year ends.


Proposed expressway to start from the coastal area of Laguna de Bay from Taguig in Metro Manila to Calamba and Los Baños in Laguna. The proposed area is larger than the Bonifacio Global City.


In addressing flooding in the area through the construction of a dike, which will also result in cleaner water for Laguna Lake, Aquino says that the Clark Green City will be the “center of commerce and industry in Central Luzon.”


He mentions that Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike will cost an estimated PHP36.74 billion or US$854.42 million. 


And when constructed, it is expected to ease traffic congestion along Muntinlupa and Calamba area, and to serve as flood control measure for communities on the western shore of Laguna de Bay.

‘Yung gagawin ho para dito sa Laguna de Bay, malawakan po yun. ‘Di po agarang magagawa ‘yan. Ihihinto po natin yung pag-angat ng tubig nang mabilis. Dike na malaking-malaki ‘yan, di ho kapiraso lang at medyo taon ho ang pinag-uusapan natin d’yan’ PNoy adds.


This seems to be a hard project, it costs a lot plus how long will  it destructs many lives when they start doing it?

Liz Uy on Rumored Romance with President Aquino

In an interview with Liz Uy on “Tapatan ni Tunying,”  she belies that she has had a short-lived romance with President Aquino.

In 2010, the president has admitted that Liz Uy was his personal stylist, and they have been dating.
He said both he and Uy have been spending time together but there was no special relationship between them.

The Supreme Court declared DAP unconstitutional

President Aquino filed a motion of reconsideration but got rejected.

Despite much criticism about his latest statement on the issue, President Aquino is still defending the legality of Disbursement Acceleration Program; he says even our country’s highest court committed the same act to those under the controversial fund system.

It seems that he used his speech in swaying the people to believe on him.

Voting 13-0, the Supreme Court ruled that Malacañang violated the Constitution

He then continued to defend DAP in spite of the court ruling.

In Rappler’sinterview with him he says the verdict is unreasonable.

"My message to the Supreme Court: We do not want two equal branches of government to go head to head, needing a third branch to step in to intervene. We find it difficult to understand your decision," 

"I am after all being arrested for parking in an area that up to now hasn’t yet been declared a no-parking zone. Is this reasonable?" he adds

It seems like he's trashing the constitution and wants presidential autocracy. There are different groups filing a petition for his impeachment.


President Aquino claims that DAP is legal and there is nothing wrong with it. But many would say that it is unconstitutional.

On July 14 President Aquino speak about his government’s controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program in a national broadcast. He says 'DAP is not a project—it is an efficient way of spending the budget; it follows the law and adheres to the mandate granted to the Executive Branch. We did this to properly allocate funds, and by so doing maximize the benefits that the people may receive.'



Do you think PDAF is a scam while DAP is not? Leave comment below.

The woman Kris Aquino is replacing in Herbert Bautista’s heart

Herbert Bautista's lovelife was never tackled until the surprising revelation of Kris Aquino was announced on public.

Tates Gana is the woman Kris Aquino is replacing in Herbert Bautista’s heartTates Gana is blessed with two children by live-in partner Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista

Rey Pumaloy got a scoop on pep.ph

Kris Aquino admits relationship with Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista. It was many years ago since Kris and James Yap separated.

She made a statement out of the show Abunda and Aquino Tonight "It’s been four years since we separated and two years since we were granted our annulment.

“We’ve learned that Bimby deserves to have both his mom and dad involved in his life as co-parents.

"And that takes forgiveness and compromise.

“It needs acceptance that we’ve all moved forward, that James does have a long-term girlfriend.

"And it’s much better for all of us to be cordial because he wants what is best for our son.

“We have matured enough to know that though James and I failed at being husband and wife, we do have the rest of Bimb’s life to succeed at being his parents.

“Wala po akong ipinakilala sa mga anak ko at sa mga kapatid ko for four years because there was nobody I was ready for.

"And more importantly, there was nobody that they were ready to meet.

“My siblings impressed upon me that I needed to become whole on my own first so as not to commit another mistake.

"And thank God, I listened to them.

“It was a journey that [was] oftentimes lonely and painful, yet one I needed to travel to become the person I am today.

“And now there is somebody in my life who is special.

“Weeks before any speculation about us came out, personal po siyang humingi ng permiso sa kuya ko.

"Maraming iniisip si PNoy kaya ang intindi niya nung time na yun, may gagawin kami ni Mayor Herbert Bautista na project para sa Quezon City.

“Until later that same day, nag-text kaming magkapatid, natawa na lang si PNoy na 'permission to date his sister' pala ang hiningi.

“But that gesture gained the respect of my brother and my sisters because it showed all of them na malinis ang intensiyon para sa bunso nila.”
