 | hmmmm.. if all people would see this.. and volunteer ourselves.. i think the government will have no choice but to give it away...ung mga iilan-ilan lng ung makikinabang?? kawawa naman ung mga kababayan natin.. they are still waiting for help... i'm thinking.. what if we gather ourselves to volunteer sa DSWD? mas madami mas wlang kawala..

STATIONS who can shed light on this situation!!!! This can't possibly go on like this!!!! This is injustice done to the victims and the needy.....mga suwapang talaga silang lahat!!! Isumbong niyo ito sa SAKSI ni Mike Enriquez!!! Talk to the likes of KC Concepcion and her mega-mother who probably have the CLOUT to do something about this situation!!!

 | Hi! I don't know you personally, but I'll re-post this on my facebook.. my way of helping spread the word.. |
 | This is sad! If this is true and that Secretary Cabral is liable for the inaction then I am deeply disappointed. She was may father's cardiologist at the Philippine Heart Center back then. I've always knew her as a gentle woman who love her patients. They better explain this. |
 | Wow! How can these people sleep at night knowing there is something that can be done but they are not doing it? And Gang, do you really think the admin has the audacity to actually distribute these relief goods and take credit for it? Well actually it's not such a far-fetched theory but that is just appalling. Obviously our leaders are not there to help us. What can we do or who can we turn to for help? The media? The UN? What needs to happen in order for our leaders to actually do something for the better of the country instead of only for personal gain? So many people are dismayed by the government, I being one of them. I promise I will do everything in my power that things like this won't happen in my town. I admire your convictions Gang and I can only hope that there are others who feel as strongly as you do and hope that they also will do their best to not let these things go unnoticed. Something has to be done. |

Cabral allayed fears of foreign donors that their donations will be used for electioneering instead of for humanitarian purposes. This came after reports that Filipinos in Hongkong are apprehensive to channel their donations to the Philippine government for fear that these will be used by politicians to advance their political ambitions. Secretary Cabral assured overseas donors that donations received by the DSWD are properly accounted for and are distributed only to rightful beneficiaries. The donations are repacked by the DSWD personnel and volunteers from different sectors and each pack bears the label "DSWD relief goods, not for sale." |

 | wow, i read the DSWD official response and it did not answer the questions directly. I'm about to send some money (from the US) (and not all from me, but from members in my school) to the Red Cross for the Typhoon survivors, but I'm now questioning the best avenues send that money through.

 | tailemac wrote on Oct 23, '09, edited on Oct 23, '09 Sir jlunelp,
Thank you for your efforts in helping out. I take your word on the hard work the DSWD have been doing and give them the benefit of the doubt and not think about words like "corruption" and "electioneering".
But the rate of packing 150 sacks per day is unacceptable. So is sending letters and passively waiting for answers. Or letting incapable people answer the hotline phone for volunteers.
All of that shows incompetence. It erodes any good effort the staff in DSWD is doing. Sending messages to radio or TV stations is a very simple and easy step and effective way to get volunteers. Or getting the country's soldiers to help pack and provide security as many have already suggested.
I do hope you send this message to DSWD. Thank you. |

Marikina ang sobrang tinamaan nung Ondoy, so shouldn't they receive those rather than being "reserved" para magamit on the next typhoon?

Statement of Dr. Esperanza Cabral on the issue of relief goods in the DSWD Warehouse
October 23, 2009
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) manages the National Relief Operations Center (NROC) which is the facility for processing and storage of relief goods that are purchased by the Department or donated to us by generous individuals both here and abroad. The relief goods are released to our Regional Offices or directly to evacuation centers or to the local government units as they are needed and requested by these entities. They are delivered in trucks, many of which were lent to us by private companies or by military vehicles. Some of the goods are shipped by air from nearby Villamor Airbase.
When typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng hit the country, we received and are continuing to receive donations. Our warehouses are indeed full, inspite of the fact that we have distributed 500,000 food packs and 200,000 clothing packs as well as thousands of sacks of rice, blankets, beddings, and items of personal hygiene in the past almost 4 weeks. That is the reason why when asked if we still have enough goods, my constant reply is yes, so far we do, thanks to the many kind-hearted individuals and organizations as well as countries who responded and are still responding to the plight of the typhoon victims.
There are no rotting relief goods in our warehouses as we do not keep perishables there and the relief goods that are there, save for the donated old clothes are quite new since they have been either recently purchased by us or have been just donated.
Our goods are repacked by volunteers who are there because they want to help. But they are volunteers and report when they have time to help us. Sometimes there are two hundred of them and sometimes there are only a dozen. However many or few they are, we appreciate their presence and their assistance. Weekdays are usually quiet but on Saturdays and Sundays, the students, along with others who work Monday to Friday, including our own employees, are there.
Our staff at the warehouse work round the clock even now, making sure that the requests for relief goods are met in a timely manner. They work hard, they work quietly and they work humbly and I feel bad that they have been subjected to public vilification that they do not deserve.
I do not recall having talked to an Editor of Philippine News. I do remember my secretary telling me that someone was on the phone asking why there were no volunteers working at the warehouse. My reply was we do not own the time of the volunteers.
I wish that I could have prevented the deaths from typhoons but in fact, they have nothing to do with the relief goods that we are in charge of. Most of the deaths were from drowning or injuries sustained during the typhoon. Some died of illnesses. We are not in charge of rescue nor are we in charge of health and to the best of my knowledge, none of the deaths was due to absence of or delay in the delivery of relief goods.
We would like to assure all of you that the relief goods will reach the intended beneficiaries as they become necessary and will be used only to assist them. However, the relief goods don’t all go out at the same time and an empty warehouse is not proof that the goods were used properly just as a full warehouse is not evidence that the goods are being hoarded. If you visit our website www.dswd.gov.ph you will find updates on our activities related to typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. It includes an updated list of donations received and goods released from the DSWD warehouse.
There are many aspects of disaster response. They include recovery and rehabilitation and in both instances, goods and other resources are still needed. In the initial reaction to a calamity, people will want to help and as we saw recently, they came in droves, offering their time, their talent and their resources. We want them to know how much we appreciate them for what they have done and what they are still doing. But further down the road, when the initial flush of generosity gives way to donor fatigue, there will remain only a few hardy NGOs and volunteers and the workers of the DSWD and other government agencies to continue the job of helping the disaster victims back on their feet. Judicious use of resources at the outset is imperative lest we face the situation of even greater want after a period of relative plenty. We at the DSWD wish to assure you that your trust in us is not misplaced. Thank you. |

| fongi wrote on Oct 23, '09 a way to verify is to check the dates on the goods - when were they sent? how long have they been in the warehouse? and, the should be (?) video surveillance on this type of facility. after all, it's on government grounds. check how often people go in and out, and in what context. there should also be a register or a logbook of goods going in and out. then again, incompetence knows no bounds... |
 | +1 agree with abbythirdie...
verify this claims before posting baseless comments..
kung alam nyo lang ang ibig sabihin ng "VOLUNTEERISM"... maybe you can do it for a couple of hours, days or weeks with your emotion and intention to help..
then after that ano na..? magsasawa ka na..? yan kasi epekto ng Donor Fatigue... kasi nga naman ang mentality ay ganito.. "nakakapagod naman ito, wala naman akong napapala..." hayzzz...
ang hirap naman sa atin pag may picture add with claims.. ayun instant issue na wala mang lang supporting details... |
 | nakakahiya talaga... and they expect the citizens to be "patriotic"? wth... no wonder laging kulelat ang bansa. it's GREED running here. whatever positive traits we Filipinos are known for, it's all burried. all because of greed. greed for power and authority. |

 | In Fairness to the DSWD region 4a, they did their job very well.....
I was able to get 2000 relief packs for 2000 families from DSWD, I requested by email Oct 5, 2009, they delivered Oct 8-9, 2009 to Jalajala and Tanay victims thru Councilor Froilan Candelaria, my family friend Ryan Mejia and siblings, Father Pepe of San Ildefonso Parish, Tanay, Ms Vicky of Municipal Mayor's Office,....
The Alpha Phi Omega volunteers, hundreds of them , volunteered to repack these relief goods at the DSWD Center in Pasay....
The rest....I heard...even the Red Cross is making use of the relief for political venue... |
 | potah... grabe to ah!!! reposting. |
 | How sad naman. Di ko na tinapos ang ilang comments coz its breaking my heart and making me mad at thesame time. Is this what they call a Democracy? Fairness and equality among its citizens? for the people, by the people and to the people? A lot of Filipino overseas workers strive to come up with huge donations for the calamity stricken victims in pinas. Some would come up staging concerts, shows, fund raising activities and the like to raise money to be donated. Then how saddening it is to see all these would end up only in the warehouse- rottening, spoiling, inaamag...all these because of our govt's greediness!!! WTF!!! dont give me damn shit explanation that there are no vounteers. It just shows how incompetent, inefficient and corrupt our govt officials are. They dont have any sense of urgency. Rather the truth is...they dont really give a damn care after all. Bakit nga ba nman ipapamigay lahat ng relief goods, eh good timing para sa darating na halalan. Bullshit! Totally absurd and acceptable!!! I really pity our country, and our beloved friends and families left behind who are still hoping for a change. I, myself is a patriot of Pinas and how i really wanted to go back home...but what is instore for us when we go home then? Imagine now what will other countries say after knowing this issue on the relief goods? Do you think they will still have the heart to eagerly & wholeheartedly help us in times of crisis? Hello?!?!? Mga govt officials, gumising na kayo! Tama na ang pagpapataba ng sariling bulsa. Unahin naman ang bayan. Balang araw ay babalik din ang lahat ng ginawa nyo sa inyo. Bilog ang mundo. Matakot kayo sa Itaas. Tandaan, what comes around, goes around...panahon na para iahon ang Pilipinas at mga Filipino. Napagiiwanan parin tayo ng mga karatig bansa to think marami tayong natural resources, malawak na lupain, masisipag at talentong mga pinoy...Asan lang ang willingness at initiative? |
 | yung cash donation sigurado nasa mabuting kamay na nila yun, PUNDO na nila para sa 2010 hahaha!
anu ba yan... next time, kapag magdodonate kayo, ibigay nyo sa mga REPUTABLE Foundation like GMA Kapuso Foundation OR ABS-CBN Foundation. wag yung kung saan saang Government Organization lang... di na kayo nasanay sa gobyerno ng pilipinas!? haha! |
 | we should do something about this....they are very selfish!!! |
 | kakapal ng mga mukha .. sinu pa ba promotor nyan ? eh di si gloria na naman, hindi naman iimbak ng ganun ganun na lang yan kung walang hold order ng nakatataas .. sana kumidlat tapos pag tatamaan ang mga animal na yan ! hayyy nako kawawa naman ang pilipinas kong mahal ! mga walang konsensya ! |

 | GRABE TALAGA DSWD...Right after Ondoy, Sept27, our rotary club (RC Manpasan) went to Maybunga Annex Elem. School Evacuation Center in floodway for our soup kitchen. So we can serve hot meals for the evacuees (sopas, boiled egg and rice). There's one DSWD person-in-charge of receiving donations or feeding but with teacher-volunteers. We asked for a room to prepare the meals and to our surprise, there are sacks of rice, noodles and sardines inside with people eating sandwiches and mango while the evacuees outside stand in line for relief goods. We can only feed 450pax but the estimated number of people outside is around 1120 pax in the building and 4000pax outside the building. According to the DSWD rep, only those carrying the yellow card/paper will receive the meals. Its sad that we can only give to a few, so we asked if we can volunteer to cook the rice and noodles stored inside the room, but his QUICK RESPONSE WITH MATCHING HAND GESTURE POINTING TO AN LPG TANK.."SIRA PO KASI YUNG LPG NAMIN"...there are cooking pans that looks unused in the corner...so if sira yung lutuan, we asked "BAKIT DI NYO PA PO NA-DISTRIBUTE YUNG MGA FOOD"...QUICK RESPONSE: "WALA PA PO KASING GO-SIGNAL"...and yet people there are HUNGRY...even if they were given Lucky Me noodles, how can they eat them without cooking because cooking inside the school is not allowed...During that time I prayed to God na sana mag multiply yung food at dumami para makakain lahat...Its already a miracle that a prepared food for 300persons were able to serve 450 persons... |
 | punyeta tlga yan mga nsa gobyerno! tgal ng eleksyon nyeta ng mpalitan mga nakaupo! ttigas ng mga muka nio!! |
 | nabasa q to dahil sa archipelago group.. kala q ok na ung mga relief goods sa pinas. hindi pala. for sure kinurakot nanaman yan . argh. |
 | Dapat bantayan natin yan, bka biglang bumaha ng imported goods sa mga market. Relief good, donation from other countries should be distributed sa mga victims not to be stocked sa warehouse ne DSWD. |
 | > You are the government. You have the power, the resources and the money. You just have to really care.
I hope you really don't mean all of government. Surely you must mean just "the management of DSWD." I am from government and one of the first volunteers at DSWD; having said that, it's really going to be very easy to point me out, given that volunteers have to log-in at the guard's logbook.
Even warehousemen at the DSWD are disgusted with how the relief work is moving. Having said that, it's going to be easy to point out who they are, given there's an employee list.
Perhaps one of the reasons volunteers don't go back for more, is the knowledge that whatever volunteer work one will do, will just be for the good looks of another politician who distributes these packages in his/her name (slap on a sticker, and there you are). According to the warehousepeople, it was a certain congressman from Pampanga (who some had said was at Rustan's picking out liquor at the time of the storm) who appropriated the first batch of relief goods (packed by anonymous volunteers!). Other politicians have done this trick too.
Would you still wonder why there's a dirth of volunteers now? Now please, for all our sanities, don't say all of government. Not all in government have the power, the resources and the money. Some of us here just want to be of service to the people, but don't pack us in with the bad guys. We feel disgust too. |
 | Kabayan, yung reklamo mo sa gobyerno eh mas mahaba pa kesa suggestions mo.
Who would want to help DSWD if you picture the Department as inefficient, ineffective and just doesn't really care? (Which may not be 100% true!)
Better yet, kung talagang time is of essence and if you believe that the DSWD is inutile, come up with a people power, go to these warehouse and let the people get all these goods for free. We filipinos are good in people power, right?

 | magvolunteer sa UNICEF to repack these relief goods,
To register as a volunteer, please email Ensha Ancheta of UNICEF (jiancheta@unicef.org), and she will send you the complete registration procedures.
You may also reach her at (0917) 577 4108 and at (02) 901 0118. |
 | I don't see the reason why they have to do this to look good. Anu yon, di bale nang magutom at maghirap yung mga nasalanta ng bagyo, wait muna kayo jan, nagbibid pa tong mga politician kung cnu yung sunod na lalabas na "good". mag papaprint muna kami ng sticker at ng picture namin, lalagay sa sako, tapos ok eto na, sayo na. Walangya, sardinas lang naman pala nilagay niyo.
Aren't these politicians ashamed of themselves, they really try to look good and generous to everyone, that they would let go of something so important just to cling on to their name?? Kaya hindi natutuloy ang pag unlad ng Pilipinas eh.
Sana naiisip din ng mga politiko, kung sila man ang nasa lugar ng mga nasalanta, at alam nila na ganyan ka dami ang dinonate para sa kanila, pero kakarampot lang ang nakukuha nila. Cge nga, anu kayang mararamdaman nila.
Have some compassion. Everything is not about you and your name. ! |
 | Walang Volunteers???!! E yung GMA foundation and ABS CBN nagse-schedule na ng shift because of too much volunteers??? |
 | grabi....baka ma expire na yung mag pag kain nasa box dyan...masayang
|
| Ang daming gustong mag volunteer, pero dahil meron pa kayong proce procedure, kaya hindi kayo nilalapitan. yung mga volunteer, kaya tinawag na volunteers yan, dahil handa silang tumulong. kung para sa safety purposes yang procedure niyo na yan, why don't you setlle in checking their bags once they go out?? anu yung paghihinalaan niyo pang nag nanakaw ng goods yung volunteers?! hindi volunteers yon, mga politiko ang tawag don! |
| If the United nation knows that, they might stop sending a relief anymore... beter to report that to the authority (police dep.) and let the LAW to forcely move the stock and give to those who are the victims of the typhoon..........if just blog and blog theres nothing happen only gathering complain which have no answer..........reporters can allow to file a case of what happen of those donations..............this is discouraging news........... |
 | WALANG VOLUNTEERS?! WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! |
 | Sh*t!!! DSWD SWA****G!!!! Saan nila da2lhin yung hinde nlagay sa mga SAKO??!! Naku! wait Gulpihin. ang Daming nagu2tom!!! ang daming may Sugat!!! ang damng BUNTIS !!! hayyy!!! Ikalat ito!!! |

 | ryanj wrote on Oct 23, '09 i volunteered in dswd in paranaque 3x and i never had problems getting inside or helping out. actually, the staff in dswd encourages more volunteers to help. that was what i experienced a few weeks after ondoy. there were really a lot of relief goods and it felt like we would never finish repacking all the relief goods. if there are a lot of goods stacked up, it's probably because there were just too much and was just being stored for future relief operations. i think the blog is not very accurate and a bit biased or unfair. if you're intention is really to help others, stop trying to look for the faults and just help! - APO1925 |

 | this is just not right.....kung walang volunteer bat di sila naghanap...i am sure maraming tao naman ang gustong tumulong.... |
 | wala na akong word na mai describe sa kademonyohan ng gobyernong arroyo! wish ko lang lahat ng gabinete mo e mag US trip ulit, at hapang nasa pacific ocean kau e mag crash eroplano nyo para mabawasan ang mga salot sa mundong ito, amen! |
| anong balak nilang gawin sa mga imported goods!!! |
 | i hope our government leaders do read this.... i have friends from Marikina and Pasig and non of the energy biscuits nor water containers were given to them... to date the relief or rations are mostly from the TV networks and NGOs... i want to believe that our government is sincere in providing sincere service to our countrymen... reading blogs such as this makes me think otherwise and as much as I want to feel optimistic on our governments capacity to sustain good governance.... it seems hopeless and pathetic... how do we change this? what can caring citizens do? how do we influence the government to listen and act in the highest ethical and humane way? |
 | It doesn't matter how much you know, how intelligent you are, what matters most is you care enough for your constituents. Mahirap bang gawin yun?????? Mga opisyales ng gobyerno.....mahirap bang gawin ang mahalin ang ating mga kapus palad ng kapwa Pilipino? They are not asking for the moon & the stars to be delivered a their dampang bahay na lumubog na o kaya ay nadala na ng baha, pamparaos gutom at buhay lang ang kailangan nila sa inyo. Mahirap bang gawin yun????????? |
 | wow i can't believed this.... this is too BS... i feel sorry for all my kababayan natin na ng hihirap at ng aabang ng tulog... pero saan ang donation? nakaambak lang sa DSWD warehouse... this is not fair...
salamat sa information na ito... |
 | ano pa e di ipopondo nila sa darating na eleksyon para kunwari galing sa kanila... im sure sa susunod kayo na sasalantahin ng kalamidad.. mga walang puso at awa sa kapwa puro sarili lang iniintindi nila.. |
 | ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! Di ko alam na through DSWD. Dati akong volunteer ng operation blessing and we give it all out for the lahar victims !!!! |
 | hmmm. Seeing this makes me want to volunteer more.... we can never know of their intentions, but what we could do best is volunteer. let others do the bad actions, but do the good ones.. so it would be in equilibrium, dont do "nothing" because doing nothing doesn't add up to the good ones. its like we are all part of a sinking ship... no time for finger-pointing (and it is useless by the way). lets volunteer |
 | basta gobyerno talaga kurarkot..... pata ba ang relief goods gusto ibulsa para pag kakitaan....... |
 | grabe kayo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nakakaiyak sa galit ang mga ginagawa nyo kung ng press release kayo na kailangan nyo ng volunteers malamang dadagsain kayo ng tao, kaso parang wala kayong concern! Ilagay nyo mga sarili nyo sa katayuan ng mga na biktima kung di manggalaiti din kayo sa galit mga wala kayong silbi!!!!!!!!!! nasa government pa naman kayo. Ill try to connect to DSWD to ask if my family can volunteer. Sayang madami tayong matutulungan. Common people who wish to come please call or visit DSWD. Lets pray this goods will reach people in need. |
 | bwiset! nasira ang araw ko! |
 | it is useless to be involved with the government !!! |
 | hay naku kainis na talaga...pero as usual, dati nman nang kurakot ang administration ni gloria...so obvious... andaming nangangailangan now, bakit nila aantayin ang bukas para sa next victims? kaay buhay... |
| it's disturbing . . dang it. :(( to think ang daming gutom ngayon! pati tulong na pinamigay ipagdadamot pa! pathetic! |
| i wonder why i think i just heard a glimpse of it in the headlines. parang hindi pa binibigyan ng pansin.. something's suppressing this thing to leak out to the media. this is democracy? NAKAKAHIYA. |
 | nde kaya special victims ung mga vendors ng ukay ukay?
nde man lang naisip ni Sec Cabral ng dept of SOCIAL welfare and dev't na makipagsosyalan at kembutan sa mga universities if they don't have any budget for additional manpower? eh plus 5 points lang sa PE or automatic uno sa Theology eh sigurong gogora agad ung mga college students to volunteer.. anubayan.. kahit elementary student eh maiisip na suggestion yan. tsk tsk |
 | true... sa mga universities ang bilis naayos ang mga relief goods at donations .. pero eto.. mukhang walang nagagalaw ah.. iba talaga ang gobyerno natin. |
 | ganid k tlga pandak...gagamitn n pandak ang mga donation s eleksyon kng aq massunod kng parusa bbgay ky pandak d q xa papakulong gglingin q xa at illgay s lata ng sardinas kaxa db?hahahaha nkkhiaya ang gobyerno natin wala tlgang awa s mahhirap.... |
 | nasaan na yung monetary donations.. triple pa yun ata sa cost nung mga goods.. that should resolve the dilemma getting the necessary manpower for packing and delivery.. |
| c pandak raw unang nalunod nung baha pero na.rescue xa.. galit na galit xa sa bagyo kaya wala siyang planong i.deliver muna ang mga donations.. |
 | I just watched the news from TFC today (recorded from last night)... Di daw naman nabubulok, nasa bodega lang... (literal pala)... oh the reporter asked if they can see the warehouse, ewan ko kung mali rinig ko, pero di pumayag (baket?!) pero they are open daw if anyone will go for inspection or whatever... the thing is they need to follow a certain process... if people are dying for help will you still wait for a go signal?
In the bible, by law it is forbidden to perform healing on Sabbath day...
15The Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? 16Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?" - Luke 13:10-17

 | i agree, maybe it's better na sa mga foundations like that of abs-cbn or gma kapuso na lang magsend ng donations, and i remember ms. tina monson-palma saying na mas madali if cash donations na lang kasi mas mahirap and matagal and i think more costly pag sa customs din |

 | I wish I have the power to curse bad people.. I was so speechless seeing those relief goods donated by different countries stagnant and unpacked on that warehouse. I was even more shocked when the secretary of DSWD told that the reason why it those goods haven't been distributed yet because they lack of volunteers. Tanga ba sya? o sadyang makapal lang ang kubal sa mukha.. ang daming gus2ng magvolunteer jan.. Di lang siguro kayo naghahanap. Yan ang hirap sa iba nating kababayan, lalo na yung mga nasa posisyon.. ang saswapang! Di talga aasenso Pilipinas nito ksi mismo Pilipino ang gumagawa ng mga katarantaduhan...!!

You are lucky you have a position in the government, receiving little amount of money and corrupting large amount of funds. Why not try to put yourself on their shoes? What would you feel? I hope your conscience won't haunt you. |
 | mkdlstudios wrote on Oct 24, '09, edited on Oct 24, '09 Dammit. Will post a link to this on my Multiply site. Here are some reasons why I'm disappointed with DSWD:
1. DSWD (and maybe some departments of President Arroyo's government) is (slightly) incompetent.
2. Every relief good stored in the warehouse has a corresponding expiry date/shelf life (for perishables). Do you think food sent from foreign nations are immortal?
3. They should have sent the cargo earlier!! Why do they have to put names of politicos on each case of relief goods?
I hope DSWD should pay more attention to the common Filipino citizen. |
 | benru wrote on Oct 24, '09 there is just no excuse for this! >:( |
 | What the hell is going there? I do not see the outcome of these donations. Filipinos and foreigners aid from all over countries were goes to wasted.

|
 | ang mga sinasabi mo na REPUTABLE foundation akala niyo na lang ok, come to think of it they also repacked the goods that people donated to them and making it look like galing sa kanila yun...2nd thing habang namimigay sila laging may camera na nakaharap sa kanila...
ang DSWD ba minuminuto may nakaharap na camera sa kanila? habang nagiikot sa ibat ibang sulok ng mga lugar na naapektuhan ng bagyo? habang namimigay ng sinasabi niyong relief goods na nabubulok? |
| easy for you to say kasi hindi ikaw yung nasa position, hindi naman ikaw yung gumagawa ng santambak na trabaho niya. ikaw ang tanga! ikaw kaya mo ba mag ikot sa iba ibang lugar at the same time manage your people and the releasing of goods? hindi naman basta basta pinamimigay yun, kailangan din nila ayusin kung papaano ibibigay yun. imbis na kung ano ano dinadaldal mo bakit hindi kaya ikaw yung pumunta sa warehouse at tumulong ka sa pamimigay |
 | gago ka annika!!!! ikaw kaya mawalan ng kabuhayan, pinagtatanggol mo pa yang DSWD |
| all of us are asking the urgency, and non stop action similar to what the private sectors are doing...e totoo naman na ang bagal ng gobyerno, dapat na plano na yan bago pa dumating..kaya wag ka humirit, tatadyakan kita dyan mamaya...gago ka! GAGO! |

 | thank God for Undoy at least it help us see the the problem in our country. What we saw is just the tip of the iceberg, from here i hope more people will realise that we need a complete change from top to bottom,a change of leadership will do nothing We had a housewife,we had an ex soldier, we had an actor, now we have a daughter of an ex-president, pinag lalaruan lang ang bansang Pilipinas.Who's next? When will this stop? |
 | kakataka nga ang biglang pag centralize sa DSWD ang donations (cash and kind?), tapos ang pag-isip ng pag hingi ng "damages" ni gov.salceda para sa gobyerno ng pilipinas dahil sa "climate change"? kakataka lang na yung mga dams ay nag pakawala ng mga tubig ilang sukat nalang sa overspill level oras lang ang pagitan? na tinutukoy na pangunahing dahilan ng pag baha..nasan ang climate change doon? tao ang nagrelease ng tubig ng dam hindi paunti unting sa matagal na araw kundi maramihan sa ilang oras na abiso lamang.. Camarines Norte nga na hindi naman apektado ni Ondoy humirit na meron silang damages? cam. norte distrito ni cong dato arroyo kasama dito. |
 | ay bakit ganon? napakawalang kwenta talaga ng gobyernong ito. wala man lang effort ang DSWD. very disappointing. |
 | you guys dont even know shit! you know why this is getting blown out of proportion? because DSWD called the attention of ABS-CBN for solicting money and goods from donors without the necessary permit from the govt. it is also becasue ABS-CBN is far from achieving its quota of 1 BILLION they were hoping to raise for their presidential candidate.....oooops i meant victims of ondoy and pepeng. they are out to discredit the only institution our government now that has the credibility. other donors have realized that if they donate thru red cross or DSWD their donations won't be subjected to DONOR'S TAX meaning if they donate 1 peso the vicitms get 1 peso. But if they donate thru SAGIP NOYNOY....sorry i meant SAGIP KAPAMILYA they get charged with a donors tax. So people before you judge please realize that you are being manipulated by these TV networks! they make us believe what they want us to believe! im so sure this is a handiwork of the people in ABS-CBN! |

Kaya kayong mga magsisi-boto ngayon election 2010, magisip-isip kayong mabuti, PARE-PAREHO lang sila mga politikong tao. Kapag may NAGPAPALOKO may NANGLOLOKO, huwag kayong PAUTO, pakisuyo lang.Maging MA-TALINO, MAKA-TAO at higit sa lahat MAKA-DIYOS. Salamat po. |

opinyon ko: Parang pagboto lang ^_^ binago nga ang sistema...bayad na bago pa bumoto wala pa rin ^_^ |
 | may camping ata dswd kaya kainlngn nila itabi ung imported baka daw sumakit tyan nila sa local goods .. |
 | WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT? They have the money, they have the power and they have a heart! Why don't they make use of it? Ther are only showing that they have no heart! For the sake of the whole Philippines, I'll spread the word. The Filipinos who were affected, tried to help those who need more help. They arranged relief drives in their very own homes. They gave away things that they may still use. They had no power, no money and still they had the heart to give what's left of them including their most beloved things just to give it to the people who lost beloved friends and family and it proved effective. Very Sad :(( |

HERES HOW????
1) Pumili ng lugar or bayan at mula jan kung hindi man malalahat matulungan kumuha ng ilang
pamilyang biktima na kung saan gusto i-donate ang donations (cash or kind)
2) Contact the community group leader kung ang donations ay manggaling sa ibang bansa.
3) The Community leader or group- kumontak ng bgy official mgpatulong sa mga relatives n nasa Pinas at least 3 or more relatives from different member fo the community group.In this case bawat isa ay my checking balance at asiwa gumawa ng anumang hindi maganda.
4) The Bgy officials(ng napiling lugar na bibigyan ng donations) are responsible together with the relatives (representative of the Community group from the donors group) to claim the donations from the carrier.
Note: mas mabuti n dadaan pa rin sa Bgy Official dahil sila ang may record ng mga biktima at duon malalaman ang lubos na naapektuhan..at dito rin dapat ang centralized ng record sa mga nabigyan na ng donations.
5) Provide an authorization letter for the said bgy officials and relatives (gagawin ito ng donors in 3 copies at isasama sa donations ang 1 copy for the carrier para duon pipirma ang nag-claimed at ibabalik naman ng carrier ito kasama ang recivo nila para naman sa donors at duon makikita kung sino nag claimed.
6) Ang ibang 2 copy ng authorization letter naman ay para sa relatives at 1 copy for the barangay official at dito naman pipirma ang BGY Official pipirma and make a note that they recieved the donations at responsibility ng relatives ipadala sa mga donors ang kopya na ito para naman malaman ng mga ng donate na nakarating n ang mga donations nila sa Barangay na napili nilang tulungan.
7) During the distribution of the donations nanduon pa rin ang mga relatives representative to oversee the distribution will be accounted for.(para masigurado na may biktima talaga na makatanggap sa donations)
8) At sa authorization letter duon na rin pipirma ang nakatanggap ng donations)-at ito naman ay magsisilbing record to avoid multiple donation will be given to one family victims..para well distributed ang donations.

The truth shall set you free.
Walang volunteers? Eto o sa Marikina. Maraming masipag dito. Paskil nyo lang sa TV na kelangan niyo ng volunteers. Baka maloka kayo pag dinumog kayo ng tao dyan.
Pag gusto niyo, maraming paraan.
Pag ayaw nyo maraming dahilan. |
 | ziaii wrote on Oct 26, '09 i dnt think walang volunteers..
if they only ask, a lot of people are willing to share their time to help..
maybe, it is being put on hold purposely.. were they waiting for photo ops for the aspiring politicians? or probably they want to get those stuff for themselves..
this is so frustrating in this country.. too many stupid people in the key positions! |

| ziaii wrote on Oct 26, '09 how about this shocking intriguing mail i got?
This is a forwarded message:
The Financial Analyst of World Bank would like to inform each and everyone of you that the present currency exchange rate of US Dollar to Peso is actually $1 = P52. Your government is manipulating the exchange rate for some years now. It is very much improbable and impossible that the
Philippine Peso is appreciating compare to Euro, British Pound, Rials, and any other foreign currency . Even your ASEAN neighboring countries are suffering from the Global Crisis . Singapore , a developed country is affected by depreciation of their currency what more of your country?
We admire you for your hard work but we also pity you for having such a very corrupt government that is taking advantage of your hard earned money.
The ARROYO ADMINISTRATION is blatantly milking each and every OFW's all over
the world of billions of pesos for its own greedy, selfish ends.
Investigations reveal that this milked money from OFWs will be spent to BRIBE not only PGMA's pet CROCODILES in CONGRESS but some in the SENATE as well for her to PERPETUATE IN POWER BEYOND 2010. The rest would be deposited to the family's SECRET ACCOUNT in Switzerland .
Another money-making scheme is the LOTTERY DRAWS. Filipinos should be aware
that all LOTTO DRAWS are orchestrated, and big money goes to the two sons of
the lady president. Recent example is the SUPER LOTTO 6/49 draw, where supposedly two individuals from Luzon won. Do you know WHO these individuals are? It's Mikey and Datu, who else? One might ask how can the draw be rigged when it is being televised in front of millions of viewers.
The answer is simple. As you all know, all bet combinations are being entered into PCSO's
main data base as it is on-line, therefore, it is easy to determine which combinations were NOT betted upon. If they want to raise big money, no winners will be declared until the JACKPOT reaches sky-high because they could dictate the outcome at will. When it's "HARVEST TIME", viola, there
would be "winner or winners" and the process repeats all over again. One might ask how this is being done.. One insider told our investigators that actually the "DRAWN BALLS", six balls to be exact, are the only set which could fit into the transparent tube which sucks the balls up. All others are
slightly bigger than the diameter of the tube which could not be distinguished by the viewers, therefore, there's no way they could be drawn! You Filipinos are being skinned alive, fried in your own fat and lard by your own government.
Do you ever wonder why president-elect BARACK OBAMA , avoids your president like a stinking leper?

I received this from my mail after i forwarded this to some friends:
Just to give the other party a chance to respond, hereunder (from the same blog site mentioned in the earlier email) is the:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statement of Dr. Esperanza Cabral on the issue of relief goods in the DSWD Warehouse
October 23, 2009
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) manages the National Relief Operations Center (NROC) which is the facility for processing and storage of relief goods that are purchased by the Department or donated to us by generous individuals both here and abroad. The relief goods are released to our Regional Offices or directly to evacuation centers or to the local government units as they are needed and requested by these entities. They are delivered in trucks, many of which were lent to us by private companies or by military vehicles. Some of the goods are shipped by air from nearby Villamor Airbase.
When typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng hit the country, we received and are continuing to receive donations. Our warehouses are indeed full, inspite of the fact that we have distributed 500,000 food packs and 200,000 clothing packs as well as thousands of sacks of rice, blankets, beddings, and items of personal hygiene in the past almost 4 weeks. That is the reason why when asked if we still have enough goods, my constant reply is yes, so far we do, thanks to the many kind-hearted individuals and organizations as well as countries who responded and are still responding to the plight of the typhoon victims.
There are no rotting relief goods in our warehouses as we do not keep perishables there and the relief goods that are there, save for the donated old clothes are quite new since they have been either recently purchased by us or have been just donated.
Our goods are repacked by volunteers who are there because they want to help. But they are volunteers and report when they have time to help us. Sometimes there are two hundred of them and sometimes there are only a dozen. However many or few they are, we appreciate their presence and their assistance. Weekdays are usually quiet but on Saturdays and Sundays, the students, along with others who work Monday to Friday, including our own employees, are there.
Our staff at the warehouse work round the clock even now, making sure that the requests for relief goods are met in a timely manner. They work hard, they work quietly and they work humbly and I feel bad that they have been subjected to public vilification that they do not deserve.
I do not recall having talked to an Editor of Philippine News. I do remember my secretary telling me that someone was on the phone asking why there were no volunteers working at the warehouse. My reply was we do not own the time of the volunteers.
I wish that I could have prevented the deaths from typhoons but in fact, they have nothing to do with the relief goods that we are in charge of. Most of the deaths were from drowning or injuries sustained during the typhoon. Some died of illnesses. We are not in charge of rescue nor are we in charge of health and to the best of my knowledge, none of the deaths was due to absence of or delay in the delivery of relief goods.
We would like to assure all of you that the relief goods will reach the intended beneficiaries as they become necessary and will be used only to assist them. However, the relief goods don’t all go out at the same time and an empty warehouse is not proof that the goods were used properly just as a full warehouse is not evidence that the goods are being hoarded. If you visit our website www.dswd.gov.ph you will find updates on our activities related to typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. It includes an updated list of donations received and goods released from the DSWD warehouse.
There are many aspects of disaster response. They include recovery and rehabilitation and in both instances, goods and other resources are still needed. In the initial reaction to a calamity, people will want to help and as we saw recently, they came in droves, offering their time, their talent and their resources. We want them to know how much we appreciate them for what they have done and what they are still doing. But further down the road, when the initial flush of generosity gives way to donor fatigue, there will remain only a few hardy NGOs and volunteers and the workers of the DSWD and other government agencies to continue the job of helping the disaster victims back on their feet. Judicious use of resources at the outset is imperative lest we face the situation of even greater want after a period of relative plenty. We at the DSWD wish to assure you that your trust in us is not misplaced. Thank you."

 | gwiz wrote on Oct 28, '09 Reading about this, I was appalled at the outset. But let us all be circumspect. I think the DSWD secretary is also talking sense. Let us not jump to conclusions.
I have worked with government and I know the red tape of the bureaucracy. Believe me, it is not easy to navigate around it. Unlike NGOs or volunteer organizations, a government agency is not so flexible when it comes to quick response. I would think that in the case of the warehouses full of goods, Sec Cabral would be in hot waters if she indiscriminately dispatched them without the necessary paper works, to wit (as she truthfully said in her reply): request from the regions, complete with breakdown of what they specifically need. Cabral could even be (ironically) accused of graft and corruption if she had immediately and indiscriminately dispatched the goods with no less than just volunteers doing the job. I think this may also be the reason why they are strict in accepting volunteers.
I am afraid DSWD is in an unenviable position of "Damned if you do, damned if you don't". At the very least, we can accuse Cabral of being an unimaginative manager, one who doesn't know how to think out of the box. But then again, I know of dynamic men and women in government (not politicians) who have been accused of graft and corruption (they have cases with the ombudsman) because they facilitated projects quickly and efficiently in their agencies but bent some auditing rules. I have friends who are now with international agencies who say that the red tape is no less stringent if not more so. Try dealing with UNDP (I have) and you'd know what I am talking about. Red tape is not bad per se. It is just not a useful norm in emergency situations.
I salute you, Gang, for posting this blog. It calls attention to the urgency of the matter of having relief goods delivered promptly. But let us give DSWD and Cabral some slack. I am also sad that this kind og blog, though well-meaning, is being used by others as a weapon in trying to (again) throw mud at the administration, and government in general. Saddest is that the Filipino is again being maligned. Let us all be careful of so-called spin doctors who can twist and warp anything to shape it into the message that they want to come out. |
| yes of course you can. i will be out of town tomorrow until tuesday though |
 | DAPAT SI SECRETARY CABRAL WAG NANG MAG HUGAS KAMAY..ITS ALL CLEAR WALA SILANG PAKIALAM SA NASALANTA NG BAGYO..TAYO BA NAMAN EH MAGLOLOKUHAN PA....ALAM NA NG LAHAT KUNG GAANO KABULOK LAHAT..AND I MEAN LAHAT NG NASA GOBYERNO..SYEMPRE KUNG ANO UGALI NG PUNO GANON DIN BUONG GALAMAY NYA DI BA!!!!!!!!PUTANG INA NILANG LAHAT MAGKIKITA DIN SILA NI SATANAS MG HAYUP SILA.....................AT IKAW SECRETARY CABRAL....SAYANG KA BINIGYAN KA NG DIYOS NG NAPAKALAKING BLESSING NA MAKAPAG SERVE SA TAO..SINAYANG MO NAKAKTULOG KA PA BA SA GABI HA!!!!NAGDADASAL KA PA BA?????? |
| gwiz wrote on Oct 29, '09 In an article in The Philippine Star today titled "Storm to hit RP late Friday" (left ear, front page), the DSWD is said to be doing a pre-emptive act of deploying trucks laden with relief goods to the north Luzon region that is expected to be hit. Of course, there was political color to it, what with PGMA supposed to be there and sending the trucks off. Well, this DSWD move could be a reaction to this blog. That is well and good, despite PGMA's photo op, hehe. |

| Di rin natin ma sisi ang DSWD. This is a "social welfare" agency and of course ang kapal ng red tape dito. Bakit di ito ( http://www.cdp.org.ph/) ang nag handle nitong mga relief goods ? Ito pa lang nakikita kong Disaster Preparedness focal point na mukhang may mission, at least very impressive "in writings."
