Gloria Arroyo’s statement:
As my own small contribution to the common effort, I have ordered Malacanang Palace to be opened to the general public, effective immediately, as a center for relief and rescue operations, the receipt and distribution of charitable donations and the temporary relocation of families who were displaced or made homeless by the storm.
Relocated families will be sheltered in all available premises within the Palace grounds. Government employees will be asked to make room for our guests, and I myself will move across the river to temporary quarters at bahay pangarap in the PSG compound.
Malacanang has always been the People’s Palace and so it should be especially at this time of crisis when our people should be pulling together and helping each other…
compound. Malacanan has always been the People’s Palace and so it should be especially at this time of crisis when our people should be pulling together and helping each other.
I am confident that the right example will be set by all our government leaders, whatever their party preference or political coloring, as we are challenged once again to show the world that the Filipino nation does not lack in the qualities that can make heroes out of us all.

Malaya editorial:
Lift the curse
Gloria Arroyo and her image polishers should stop the feeding us bulls..t.
Her administration set a new record of incompetence in saving people and housing and feeding
calamity victims at the height of the floods brought about by typhoon “Ondoy” last weekend.
As of yesterday, rescue efforts remained patchy in Cainta and most evacuation centers were still short of clothing, food and medicines.
Instead of dealing squarely with the problem, the administration chose to hide its criminal
negligence by mounting a PR show by converting the Heroes Hall of Malacañang Palace into an emergency center kuno, with free telephone patches for those seeking to get in touch with relatives who are working overseas.
To dramatize the PR gesture, Gloria moved out of the Palace to the park across the Pasig river which serves as the headquarters of the Presidential Security Group. In so doing, her spin masters obviously failed to see the symbolism that many would draw from her action.
That during the most destructive natural calamity during her watch, she chose to ensconce herself in the bosom of her praetorian guards.
The National Disaster Coordinating Council (by the way, how does one coordinate a disaster?) is headquartered at Camp Aguinaldo. The camp is the most accessible place for people in need of help via EDSA, a vital artery which was free from floods and traffic gridlocks during typhoons before this truly inept administration came to power.
In contrast, the approaches to Malacañang – Sampaloc, Quiapo, San Miguel, Sta. Mesa,Pandacan and Paco – are all flood-prone. How do the people who need help get to the Palace if, heaven forbid, the weather again takes a turn for the worse? Swim? Or be ferried by rubber boats which were nowhere to be seen last weekend?
For a truly grand and heroic gesture, here’s an unsolicited proposal for Gloria.
Take Nagtahan bridge, proceed to the South Luzon expressway all the way to Villamor Air Base. Sequester a Philippine Airlines plane, preferable a long-range one, and hie off to another foreign destination (you know the drill; you have had much practice at it).
And stay there for keeps.
Mawawala na malamang ang walang hintong kamalasang sinapit nitong kawawang bayan.
Ayan, nag-alsa balutan kunwari si Gloria para sa spin ng kanyang incompetence!
“Malacanang has always been the People’s Palace..” -Gloria
So, ano pa ang ginagawa mo dyan e matagal na naming binabawi sa iyo?!
Alis dyan, ibalik mo na sa amin ang aming palasyo!
Re: Malacanang has always been the People’s Palace
Bakit may malalaking container vans kung may peoples’ rally? Malaking kalokohan ito. Ang Malacanang ay malapit sa ilog Pasig kaya ito’y nasa danger zone kung may baha. Tuliro sila, hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa.
“….qualities that can make heroes out of us all.”
Hero daw siya…. ngek, ang kapal.
Center of receipt of donation. . . naku ha, baka pati yan, kunan nya ng tongpats.
Gloria speaking through her heart?
As if she has a conscience!
Ondoy underscored, emphasized, and stressed in graven words the inutility of this administration, primarily due to a self-centered gnome whose main purpose in life is to rule in perpetuity, the population be damned. Its flood waters exposed the blame game in all its fury.
Weather experts blamed the unusually heavy rainfall on climate change (conveniently forgetting that a similar deluge occurred 40 years ago). Several quarters wondered what had happened to the Doppler radar that was supposed to improve prediction of the amount of rainfall, which could give residents of flood-prone areas a chance to evacuate (despite reluctance of residents to leave their belongings to ransacking thieves). Relief officials, for their part, blamed the massive flooding on drainage systems clogged by garbage and silted waterways strewn by irresponsible residents..
Overwhelmed by the devastation caused by Tropical Storm “Ondoy” (international name: Ketsana), the Philippine government on Monday sought aid from the world community, RP pleads for int’l help. Holy Moses! How will this be received by rich donors who recently got word of the profligate spending of Ate Glue in her globe trotting peregrinations.
In the wake of the devastation caused in the Philippines by Tropical Storm Ondoy (international name: Ketsana), US Ambassador Kristie Kenney authorized on Monday an additional $50,000 in immediate disaster relief assistance through the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) of the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
This brings the total in immediate relief donation assistance to $100,000, said Rebecca Thompson of the public affairs office of the US embassy in Manila.
In response to the request from the Philippine government, Japan has decided to provide emergency relief goods equivalent to about 20 million yen (about $220,000 or P10 million) to flood victims of typhoon Ondoy.
Inutil na gobyerno, inutil na Gloria!
The blame game did not spare media. One said, “We have the billions that should have gone to improving Metro Manila’s drainage system and shoring up its dams but which have gone instead to feeding insatiable appetites, which is not entirely figurative, to blame for that. We have the billions that should have gone to procuring rubber boats and other rescue vessels to save lives and give relief during dire times but which have gone instead to flying public officials to watch Manny Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas to blame for that.” Poor Manny with his riches becomes fair game, blamed for the lack of life-saving rubber boats.
I blame lack of competent news editors for the hyperbole distorting the media reporting. “The nine-hour deluge left some areas of Metro Manila, a sprawling city of 12 million people, under 20 feet of water, with poor drainage systems and other failed infrastructure exacerbating the problem.” The math of news writers converted the 34.1 centimeters of rain that fell on Metro Manila in just six hours as 20 feet of water.(I know, I know, 34 cm. is quadrupled in the street spaces, 4 feet tops.)
Even is such Calamities, GMA doesn’t fail to try to play for Points…and being a Mediocre Leader can only provide a mediocre leadership in times like this…luckily majority of Filipinos so resourceful, they will survive on their own despite their impotent Leaders…my own brother was stranded up in his upstairs with his wheelchair bound wife with nothing and we can not even communicate with Him and was left with his own devices…found out they have survived thru relatives from Davao, but lost all their stuff…they can be replaced, but the uncertainties and the insecurity and the lack of Protection from your own Government is not Acceptable at All from one who Brags all over how well Her Leadership is Accepted by Her people…it is a shame, shame…

Please note Gloria’s last sentence:
“we are challenged once again to show the world that the Filipino nation does not lack in the qualities that can make heroes out of us all.”
Note the phrase: “to show the world”.
Show the world? Show the world? We are doing all these to show to the world?
29 September 2009
For now I think it is better to stop pinting fingers to whose fault it is. First and foremost, we should try to help our kababayans at the moment.
What I notice in the those footages are those so called volunteers with the names of politicians in their shirts or vests.
These idiots want to show that they are helping, but why those big names in the shirts and vests of these volunteers?
Kung talagang tutulong sila hindi na nila kailangan pa ilagay ang mga pangalan ng mga pulitiko.
Baka mamaya nyan pati mga plastik bag ng relief goods ay may mga nakasulat na “tulong mula kay (pangalan ng ng pulitiko) yan e (buset!!!!!)
Ang aking pakiusap tigilan muna ang pulitka ng sa gayon ay matulungan o kaya maibsan kahit papaano ang hinagpis ng mga kababayan natin.
Sana naman ay matingnan ng pamahalaan ang problema ng bayan tungkol sa kawalan ng mga daanan ng tubig at ang pgakamatay ng mga daluyan ng tubig sa lansangan at ang disiplina sa pagtapon ng basura sa lansangan.
Salamat po at sana ay gabayan tayo ng poong maykapal.

I’m beginning to believe that the flooding is deliberate, and is another “false flag” operation, in this case, the flag itself is Nature.
This event took place after the NDCC Chairman Gibo went to the US… and his subsequent endorsement as the standard bearer for Palaka.
The US has already perfected the Weather Manipulation Technology that could be use to create needs for AID (loan), monitoring devices like Doppler Radar, etc., and other economic manipulations.
Gibo’s strong connection with CFR being a Harvard graduate is undeniable. Even Danding Cojuangco could be a member of this Elite Group, and could explain why he didn’t attend Cory’s Funeral, reinforcing paroled Sgt. Martinez claim that it was him who masterminded the Ninoy Assasination. He could use this opportunity to further his exposure for 2010,… or does it backfiring on him?
Last Saturday’s release of tremendous amounts of water from hydro dams without prior warning is bereft of concern for human lives and properties.
Nevertheless, it is giving the Midget a good opportunity to show off her imeldific boots.
He (Gibo) could use this opportunity to further his exposure for 2010,… or does it backfiring on him?
This is just a pure gimmickry!
Malakanyang Palace is where the highest official of the land holds office and residence and its only use other than that is receiving and holding banquets for visiting dignitaries aside from local official functions and using it as center for relief operation and housing the displaced victims of the recent man-made calamity is disrespect to the dignity of the palace itself although the occupant is the one who declares for its use most especially the NOT DULY elected acting permanent president.
Showing compassion to the victims in this time of disaster cannot erase gloria’s and her family members’ and allies’ unexplained involvement in controversies they all tried to evade.
Kulang lang yan sa pansin!
“Gloria speaking through her heart.”
Ang plastic walang puso. Buti pa ang saging at mega sardines may puso.
Mas matutuwa ang mga tao at kapanipaniwala ang hakbang niyang ito kung issuka nilang lahat ang mga ninakaw nila sa gobyerno!
Don’t donate to GMA government. She must pay for wasting the contigency fund. Donate to the Red Cross or other NGO
GMA government holding a telethon asking for donations. Nakakasuka!
She must pay for wasting the contingency fund.
She should now give away bags of money to the victims like what she did during her impeachment which she tries so hard to thwart then.
Romyman, I think you hit the nail right on the head.
That will force her to squeeze every last peso out of her remaining Presidential budget and the budgets of the most wasteful and corrupt departments such as the DPWH and DOTC and all those other budgets just waiting to be used for her favored candidates this elections.
Incidentally, the House Appropriations Committee just approved the budget of the Office of the President for 2010 in less than 5 minutes!! A P4.3B request approved with no questions asked inspite of a track record of going over budget.
Believe it or not.
Nasan ang mga bansang kasapi sa United Nation! Dapat rin na gumawa ng action o tulong ang mismong secretary ng United Nation. Ibang-iba talaga kapag developing country lalo na ang Amerika. Kung maalala pa ninyo ang bagyong Katrina somewhere in New Orleans, USA, ganitong-ganito ang pangyayari sa ating bansa. Ang pagkaka-iba lang natin sila ay nakakatanggap voluntarily ng pera or material things mula sa maliliit na bansa hanggang sa mayayaman na bansa. Pero sa mga bansang mahihirap gaya ng Pilipinas maski balsa wala silang maipadala. Buti pa ang mga kano laging rescuers natin sila.
Ang government natin hindi kayang e sustain lahat ng expenses na yan. Kelangan din natin ang mga tulong sa mga ibang bansa lalo na sa mga mauunlad na bansa.
Nakaka inis manood ng TV dahil labasan na ang mga politiko na nakikisawsaw at ang tulong na bigay naman ay galing rin sa atin. Iyung donation daw ay galing sa kanila.. Sana sinabi na galing sa nakaw at sa inyo rin namin kinuha.
Ang daming papogi ngayon.
Bakit sa mga sandaling ganito ay kailangang TAYONG MAMAMAYAN ang maging mahinahon, magpakita ng pagdadamayan at tumulong sa mga nasalanta GAYONG meron tayong pamunuan na DAPAT magkaroon ng KAHANDAAN (preparedness) upang mailikas sa mga itinalagang lugar at pakainin, pansamantalang damitan at ukulan ng pansamantalang pagkalinga ang mga kababayan nating nasalanta?
Sa panahong ganito ay TAYO ang inaasahan ng gobyerno SAMANTALANG sila ang NAGBUBULSA at NAKIKINABANG sa pondong dapat ay gastusin/iukol para sa kapakanan ng mamamayan?
Nakakasuka ang ugaling hayup ng mga namumunong ito na puro mga ASAL HAYUP!
Nagpupuyos ang damdamin ko sa aking nasasaksihan. Ang trahedyang ito ay bunga ng walang habas na paggamit ng kaban ng bayan para sa pansariling gananysa ng pamahalaang Arroyo. Walang karapatang manghingi or tumanggap ng tulong ang rehimeng Arroyo kanino paman mula, kahit sa mga mamayan or mga gobyerno ng ibang bansa. Hindi na dapat pang kunsintihin ang mga ginagawang kabalahuraan ng rehimeng Arroyo.
Kung gusto nating tumulong sa Red Cross or Private NGO tayo magbigay Huwag sa rehimeng Arroyo!
Sa mga nasalanta sa bagyong Ondoy, maaari nilang tawagan para humingi ng tulong sa mga kongresista (see below) na tumanggap ng P20M na SUHOL para bumuto sa kanilang CONASS. Sila ay mga TAKSIL, SUROT, GARAPATA at BUWAYA ng ating lipunan.

Never mind sa pagbukas ng Malacanang bilang relief center. Mas malaki pa ata ang na-icontribute ng mga kumpanya sa pagbigay ng mga donasyon at pera. At mas epektibo pa tumulong ang mga NGO at mga ordinaryong tao kesa sa kanila.
Ang mga politiko naman sana hindi na nila lagyan ng pangalan yung mga dinidistribute nilang donasyon. Naappreciate naman ang tulong nila, pero kelangan pa bang broadcast yun? Kung bukal talaga sa puso ng mga politikong ito ang tumulong, hindi pa kailangang bahiran ng kampanya ang tulong nila.
Allan,
Mga pinutakteng lintek na mga ‘yan!
Oo nga pala! Maaaring tawagan ang mga ‘yan upang hingan ng tulog at pakinabangan hindi lamang ‘yung 20M na suhol pati na rin ‘yung mga tongpats nila sa pork barrel.
Sumagot naman kaya sila? Baka ituro lamang tayo sa kanilang staff na ituturo naman tayo sa PNRC o DSWD!
Ellen, blangko ang ekspresyon ng kanilang mga mukha palibhasa’y mukhang bato at makakapal na parang CHBng ASTM approved.
Ina-abot na yata ng Karma, sa pamamagitan ni ONDOY, and anak nang Nasirang Dadong…Sayang lang at naputikan ng husto ang magandang pangalan ng ama ( naging presidente Dadong ), nitong anak, na kina-karma ng sobrang putik, sa
metro-manila, lalo na sa Pasig, Marikina, Bulakan, at ipa
pang lugar…Ang nakaraang bagyo, ay maaaring salamin, ki
ginang GMA, para malaman nya na sobra na,..masyado ka ng
lubug sa putikan…pati na mabubuting TAO ( staff ) ay na
hahawa sa kanya, dahil lunod sa pagtatago ng katutuhanaan
ki Juan de la Cruz…makonsyensa naman sila..Biruin mo pala
13-ruuber boats ang mayroon ang Navy na sasagip sa libo-libong nalulunod na TAO ( mahirap at mayaman )..kung di pa ki ONDOY di natin malalaman na iilan lamang pala ang rubber boats…( karma na nga )…samantalang kung kumain
sila ay miyones ang halaga, lalo na sa kickbaks, at porsyento sa mga projects, at padding ng mga prohekto sa kalsada ( dito karmado’t-buking na buking ang gustong magpresidente na si EBdane..biglang nawala ang kaso nito..
Ang matinding Karma dyan, ay makonsyensya sila sa sobrang
pandaraya, at nag-mamalinis palagi..at biglang ma stress,
at ma STROKE !…bakit sila walang plunder case, dahil 10x
pa yata ang kanilang ginawa pagkatapos ng plunder case ni Erap…ang mga pangyayari ay simula lamang ng malalaki pang
parusa ng Diyos, na darating…tiyak, mahihiya na silang bumalik sa malakanyang ( kung mayhiya pa ??? )…Grraabbee !..
Ondoy:Gloria distributing relief goods in malacanang.But area was NOT the worst affected by Ondoy! The things people do for photo ops!
How much more of this charade can we take???
Nakakaawa naman ang aking mahal na panggulo. Mukhang puyat na puyat sa pagmo-monitor sa mga kaganapan habang lumalaklak ng cognac!
MR: “Ellen, blangko ang ekspresyon ng kanilang mga mukha…”
Korek ka dyan MR. Take note also of Gloria facial expression in the photo where she was wearing pink boots. Di ba the same rin?
Noli and Gibo had the same “tulala” look.
Mukhang hindi nila alam kung ano ang tumama sa kanila.
i also agree that they have blank expressions in their faces which meant that they did not know what to do and therefore they should not and ought not to be in charge. they knew better when distributing money to their cohorts.or they may be actors in front of the camera.
May pananagutan ang mga tao dahil sa walang patumanggang pagtatapon ng basura ng ilan sa mga kanal at estero, subalit kung ang mga namumuno ay siyang nangunguna sa pagpapatupad ng disiplina at pagpahalaga sa kalikasan at kapaligiran lalo’t higit ang kapakanan ng bawat kanilang nasasakupan, mahihiya ang mga tao na hindi sumunod sa mga batas na pinapairal.
Mamamayan at gobyerno ay dapat magtulungan upang maiwasan ang ganitong hagupit ng kalikasan at ang ating mga namumuno ay pagtuunan ng pansin ang tapat na paglilingkod at hindi ang pagpapataba ng kanikanilang mga bulsa lamang.
Sa ngayon, upang patunayan nilang sila nga ay mga lingkod bayan, ilabas!
Pera namin ‘yan, huwag ninyong suwapangin.
Supporting my false flag theory are two events occurred today just as our attention are on the flood victims:
1. Ombudsman Guiterrez is acquitted of all impeachment charges, and;
2. Lakas-Kampi Merger, being protested by De Venecia et al, is approved by the Comelec.
no.1 above, of course, is our main concern.
Gloria is like a Vulture kaya ganyan siya,a vulture takes advantage of rotting meat
Donation?
Asl Le Cirque for a rebate.
Sorry Ask dapat.
Natutuliro sila kasi alam nilang sila ang masisisi! Ang kawalan nila ng maayos na sisteme at kakulangan sa mga gamit na maaaring makatulong sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo.
Nagpatumpik-tumpik pa kasi sila kung anung gagawin eh,.Akala ko ba may comprehensive system ang NDCC??eh nasaan?…Ako nastranded kasama ng maraming tao, buti na lang at may kakilala akong natuluyan at alam kong nasa maayos na kalagayan ang mga gamit taong malapit sakin. Pero karamihan ng nakasama ko dun worried na sa mga pamilya nila. Pero wala namang magawa kasi lampas tao ang tubig.
Dumating ang rescue team na may dalang kaisa-isang rubber boat kung kailan madilim na…Kung inagahan sana nila si hindi nila kailngan ng flash light at mas madami silang natulungan. Baka naman umaasa silang huhupa din agad ang baha??….tsk…tsk…mabuti na lang maaasahan ang mga pinoy sa ganitong klase ng sitwasyon..
Manalangin po tayo na maging madali ang recovery ng ating bansa. Sana din hindi na tumuloy ang Bagyong paparating.
With tens of thousands displaced from their homes after Tropical Storm Ketsana ripped through the northern Philippines, Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis (Scarborough-Agincourt) is calling on the Harper government to commit $5 million in aid.
Karygiannis, who has about 1,500 families in his riding with relatives in the affected area, also wants the government to match dollar for dollar what the community raises for disaster relief. He is also urging Ottawa to expedite family class sponsorship applications from the disaster zone and to issue visitor visas to people in the affected area who have family in Canada.

Note: MP Jim K is an opposition MP and here is an example of how the people’s representative works for his constituents…and also wondering why this Government who was very quick in the past to send in its Military Rapid Response Team (with expertise in water purifying and rescue operation) is dragging its butts…my guess is the same as most)
Hindi kaya ang kalamidad na ito ay gawa ng tao? Hindi kaya ang rason kung bakit biglang taas na lang yong tubig ay dahil may nag-utos na buksan ang dam? Mukhang hindi handa ang mga tao sa kalamidad na ito kasi ni wala man lang babala ang PAGASA. Ni hindi ba alam nito kung ilang inches and dala ng bagyong ONDOY?
May kinakatakutan ba si Glorya bakit lumipat siya ng tirahan doon sa PSG compound?
GMA “bonehead” excuse for her government snail pace rescue efforts that Ondoy is worse than Katrina is not acceptable and so patently “stupid”…Katrina was a Good Lesson for everyone to be prepared, yet instead, she spent all the money intended for preparedness for Gluttonous diners and mis-governance and unnecessary trips with “opportunist junketeers tagging along”.
Ellen,
Yung expression ng tatlong bwisit sa itaas ay pare-pareho telling us “wala kaming pakialam sa inyo”, lalo na si Gloria Arroyo. Obviously, si Gibo at Noli ay walang alam sa nangyayari at nangangapa ang mga mukha!
“Gloria speaking through her heart.”
The fact that EK press released this for the “world” to read meant the opposite.
Kailan pa nagkaroon ng puso si Gloria? Ang mga puso-pusoan sa kanyang plastic na boots ay for the sake of kodakan din.
Gloriamus making apology of their late rescue operations because they were “overwhelmed” (may dahilan pa e) by Ondoy was just to prevent a political fallout, nothing more.
Apparently, it is backfiring on them so her spinmasters have to sell another gimmick…pack her bags and let the people in on the grounds of the “people’s palace” daw.
Hanggang sa huli ay political gimmick kung tratuhin ni Gloria si Ondoy at mga biktimang pinoy.
Heartless bitch!

GMA GOVT. holding a telethon asking for donations Nakakasuka!
She must pay for wasting the contingency fund.
___
NO! Ibigay ang donasyon sa Philippine Red Cross o para sa mga nakatira sa overseas ay sa International Red Cross (just specify the country), or to your trusted NGO’s and other organizations/groups.
Never never never na magbigay kayo ng donasyon sa pekeng gobyerno ni Gloria kung gusto ninyong makatiyak na darating iyan sa intended beneficiaries.
MPR, agree ako sa #27 poste mo.
Oo nga, bakit tayo sasabihan na magpakahinahon e natural na magpanik tayo dahil tayo ang namamatay hindi naman sila na wala ring magawa dahil naibulsa na nila ang pera natin na dapat ay naibili ng pang-rescue sa mga biktima.
Kagalanggalang at pinagpipitagan (nakupu!!!) naming panggulo,
Isang mataos na pasasalamat ang aming ipinapaabot sa ginawa mong pagbubukas ng Malakanyang para sa mga nasalanta ng baha. Subalit, bakit sa mga kawani lamang ng iyong gobyerno nakalaan ang mas malaking bahagi ng pagkakataon? Hindi ba’t bilang mga mambubuwis at nagpapasuweldo sa inyo sa gobyerno ay marapat lamang na KAMING MAMAMAYAN ang mas unahin nilang bigyang daan?
Dati na ngang bukas sa mamamayan ang palasyo, SUBALIT ipinasara mo lamang at hinambalangan ng mga balakid na container vans dahil na rin sa TAKOT mo sa taong bayang walang tigil sa paghahanap ng kasagutan sa kabikabilang katiwaliang hindi man ikaw ang tuwirang sangkot ay ALAM naming meron kang kinalaman.
Mas magpapasalamat kami, KUNG mula sa sandali ng iyong paglipat sa iyong sinasabing pansamantalang tutuluyan (Bahay Pangarap ba ‘yun? Tsk tsk tsk. Hindi ka talaga nauubusan ng pantasya) ay hindi ka na babalik pang muli sa palasyo at iiwang tuluyan ang NINAKAW mong trono. Malakas pa yata naman ang agos ng baha diyan sa Pasig River, magtali ka ng bato sa leeg at tumalon upang lubusan na kaming makaahon mula sa mga kamalasang bunga ng iyong kasakiman at pamumunong walang direksiyon. Isama mo na rin ang iyong ganid na asawa at dalawang anak na lalaking katulad ninyo’y MANHID at HALANG ang mga kaluluwa.
Huwag kang mag-alala, pababaunan ka naman namin ng bulaklak at dasal na sanay sunugin sa impiyerno ang inyong mga kaluluwa kung hindi ninyo matatalo ang inyong iniidolong hari ng mga demonyo!
Kuripot. Keep your salary, at ibigay mo yung tongpats mo, para lalong makatulong.
Si Mikey, at yung ibang beneficiary, ibigay ang two-months na jueteng “stipend”.
Ellen: Just for info, looks like the gravatars slow things down, and may even eat up bandwidth.
Please, I know you are all getting emotional but please refrain from capitalizing comments. The comments look hysterical.
Long lines at Palace ‘relief’ center irks Arroyo:

Philippine Floods: Why Wasn’t Manila Prepared?
“In Manila, millions of residents now live in a world of mud…”

My question: Why is the Catholic Church so silent?
It is about time ( which is long overdue) to rethink population management in the Philippines. Manila’s population is so dense, which is beyond its absorptive capacity.
turns Malacañang into refugee and relief center
kagaguhan naman to… wala talagang maisip na matino… lalo lang nangiinis! ang layo kaya ng malacanan sa pasig, cainta rizal, marikina, quezon city!!! putikan mga victims… babyahe at gagastos pa ng pamasahe papuntang malacanan!
ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya staff: “Kailangan namin ng volunteers para mag-pack ng mga relief goods, panay ang dating ng goods pero kinukulang kami ng tao kahit 100 volunteers na ang nasa loob”.
GMA Network’s Pia Guanio: “Pati na ang ating mga Kapuso Stars ay nasa warehouse upang tumulong mag-impake ng mga relief goods, tuloy-tuloy ang dating ng donations at halos walang pahinga ang mga nagsusupot ng mga pagkain, tubig at damit, atbp.
Malacañang assistant: “Ang dami naming tao, kumpleto kami sa taga-balot kaya lang walang dumarating na goods”.
*********
Iisa lang ang ibig-sabihin niyan, kaya walang donations na napupunta sa Malacañang ay dahil walang tiwala ang mga donors na makakarating ang donations nila sa mga biktima.
Nakakahiya kayo!
Ang nagmamando pala ng relief operations sa Malacañang e si Esperon. Kaya pala walang gustong mag-donate doon e.
Baka madagdag-bawas!
hahaha! Walang dumarating na relief goods sa EK pero isang katerba ang tao. Why not send them all to ABS-CBN and GMA networks to help pack relief goods? At least ay meron silang magagawa kesa sa naghihintay ng magagandang goods na ‘maibabalot’.
palpak ang diskarte ng malacanan!palibhasa wala sa puso ang pagtulong at hindi kapamilya turing sa mga biktima. nakakahiya!lumalabas totoong motibo!
Mismo, perl.
Aling Ellen, baka kaya walang mabasang emotion sa mukha ni gloria eh dahil sa kapapahatak ng mukha he he he
Kaya walang naghatid ng donation sa Malacanan ay dahil nakaready na ang mga plastic bags na paglalagyan… may mukha ni Esperon at Glueria!
Kung relief operation ang hangad ng mga taga Malakanya, dapat ay may nakahanda na silang ipamamahaging relief goods hindi ‘yung maghihintay pa pala sila ng darating na tulong.
Sino ba naman ang magtitiwala sa kanila na kilalang walang mga pinapatawad basta’t pakikinabangan?
Nasaan na ba ang contingency and miscellaneous fund ng OP? Naubos na sa kalalamyerda o naitago na sa bangko?
Tsk tsk tsk!
Mga mukhang mandurugas! Hindi nila malaman kung anong kasinungalingan na naman ang sasabihin sa sambayanan.
The donors should know better than to send anything to the the EK. Baka ibenta pa yan para i-convert na cash para sa lavish dinners ni boobuwit!
I’ve just heard from one of the radoi thru internet that people seeking or been on the long line to recieve any relief goods from the ground of palace, they just been handed out a 12 Oz bottle of water and a package of biscuit/cracker, and answer a lot of question concerning the damages been done of the recent calamities.just imagine you have to walk/commute to the place where hand out been going,is it worthed to waste time for goods not even to quench your hunger or thirst.Talaga naman, malaking ka-ungasan ang gustong palabasin ang mga unggoy.
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo est une connase!
Guza, Romyman, MR and others.
Take note that I edited your comments and changed sentences all capitalized to small letters.
This is an advice from one who has been in the communication business since time immemorial. Contrary to what you think, sentences that are all in capital letters do not attract readers. It does not make readers read what you have written.
In fact, it turns off readers because it is screaming especially if you put several exclamation marks.
If you want to emphasize, you may make it bold. If you have to capitalize it, talagang bihira, bihira lang.
As I have said time and again, bloggers are intelligent. They will understand your message even if it is in small letters.
For a pleasant blogging. Thank you.
Namfootah, ngayon ko lang napansin yung litrato ni Panduck sa itaas. Ang lapad hindi ba? Kwadrado na malapad pa.
Kung ginamit yang sagwan ng bangka sa baha, marami sanang naisalba!
The older Gloria gets, the more she resembles Cruella (100 & 1 Dalmatians)!
