Aanhin pa ang damo kung patay na ang kabayo? (A special report from a volunteer)

Oct 21st, 2009 by ella

Dear friends,

I’m asking your help to spread the word. Tulungan po ninyo akong ikalat ito. Beyond this, we should also demand action. I disabled a plugin so you can copy the photos of relief goods rotting in DSWD warehouses. You can link this post to your blogs, facebook, websites etc. You can also email the photos.

Philippine News (US based Philippine newspaper) will use this as its front page story this week. Every Filipino has the right to know where the tons of donations from the UN and other counties go. Kahit po nakakahiya sa mga nag-donate. Kung sa ganitong paraan, matutulungan natin ang mga nasalanta, then by all means, let’s do it.

For those who have the time, please try to volunteer sa DSWD warehouses. Getting in was not easy. A friend had to put in a word for us. Let’s see kung madali nang makapasok sa DSWD warehouse ang mga volunteers.

Please read on and good luck to us.

Ella

Kahapon, tinanong ng Philippine News si DSWD Secretary Esperanza Cabral :

Editor of Philippine News: Why are the relief goods in DSWD warehouses not moving?

DSWD Secretary Esperanza Cabral: Wala kasing volunteers.

This short interview was done over the phone. Philippine News wanted to hear her side pero ayaw niyang makipag-usap sa press. After four tries, pinasabi na lang niya ang maikling sagot na ito sa secretary niya - “Walang volunteers”.

I don’t want to accuse her of corruption but at the very least she is showing signs of being totally incompetent. We are in a state of calamity where every second counts. May namamatay araw-araw dahil sa sakit.

In my opinion, these deaths could have been prevented if Secretary Cabral had tried a little harder to do her job.

  
Deaths from Philippine storms nears 1,000

“Tropical Storm Ketsana left 420 dead and 37 missing when it flooded 80 percent of Manila on September 26, a disaster the government saidaffected 4.35 million people.

Some areas are still flooded three weeks later and 189,000 people remain in evacuation centres,

Typhoon Parma hit the northern Philippines on October 3 and lingered as a tropical storm for a week, triggering landslides that killed 438 people and leaving 51 missing mostly in mountain communities.

The government agency said Parma affected 4.16 million people, including more than 32,000 who remain at evacuation centres.”

During the first week after the storm, lumabas ang “bayanihan spirit” ng mga Pinoy. “ Makatulong lang kahi’t konti,” katwiran nila.

kung walang volunteers, ano ‘to, komiks?

From Stella Arnaldo ’s blog:

“At the offices of many civic groups and private organizations, hundreds of people showed up to volunteer in packing relief goods.

At the Tulong Bayan center at the Expo Centro in Cubao, Most of the volunteers were adolescents as young as 10 years old, along with their kuya or ate in high school and college.

They came in huge numbers, many of them barkadas, classmates or siblings, dressed just in their tees and shorts, wearing their Havaianas. All were just enthusiastic to do their share!

GMA asked world for donations

Our government begged the world for more donations. Sumagot ang buong mundo sa ating panawagan. In less than three weeks, dumaong ang mga barko, ibinaba mula sa mga cargo planes, i-diniliver ng mga trak at container vans ang sandamakmak na relief goods. Cash donations were in the millions of dollars.

But these donations must be coursed through DSWD

Nagpalabas ng directive ang pangulo. Individuals, private companies and other nations were ENCOURAGED to send their donations to DSWD. I blogged about it here and the video of her announcement here.

This PGMA directive sounded suspicious to me then. Now I know why. Here’s the story.

A group of eight people, your ate Ella included, went to one of DSWD warehouses to help in repacking relief goods. We know they need volunteers pero hindi namin akalaing WALANG TAO TALAGA SA LOOB NG WAREHOUSE!

As in sa isang humongous warehouse (1000++ sq.m) NA PUNONG-PUNO NG RELIEF GOODS HANGGANG BUBONG, ISANG DSWD employee lang at ISANG SECURITY GUARD ang tao!!

Kailangang magpa-register at i-schedule ang volunteering

1) UNICEF Registration (as a volunteer)

The warehouse can only take as much as 50 volunteers at a time or per shift. Here you will find that there is a 4-hour shift, and an option for a 6-hour shift for the volunteers to indicate their availability.

What “volunteers”? Nasaan?

Aside from the 8 of us? Nope, there was nobody there. Bakit kailangan ang scheduling? Feeling hindi ba magkamayaw at nagu-unahan ang mga volunteers?

I know somebody who wanted to volunteer many times. She was always bumped off, laging nirere-schedule kasi “there were too many volunteers”daw. At tuwing Sunday lang daw puwede. What the hell is going on here?

Nakatambak ang donations ng UNICEF sa warehouse, local and international

Mga banig na dapat ay nahihigaan ng mga nasalanta. Mga imported camp beds na hindi na yata masisilayan ng mga biktima. Mga kumot na hindi naman nakabalot sa katawan nila. At mga pagkaing hindi sumasayad sa sikmura nila.

The relief goods are not going anywhere

We arrived at about 8 am and left by midafternoon and yes, you guessed it right. Kami pa rin ang tao bukod sa isang DSWD employee sa loob ng warehouse maghapon. Walang ibang dumating.

The relief goods are not moving. By the way things look, they are not going anywhere. Hindi maglalakad mag-isa ang mga donations na ito papunta sa mga evacuation centers.

LET THE PICTURES DO THE TALKING

Note: Pinagbawalan kaming kumuha ng pictures sa loob ng warehouse. I wonder why.

“Not a creature was moving, not even a mouse..”

Parang haunted warehouse ang dating. May multo na yata.

Kahit na daig pa ang tindahan sa Divisoria sa dami ng naka-stack na kaldero

At walang katapusang kaldero pa ulit

Kahit halos natakpan na ang mga bintana sa dami ng mga kahon

Kahit umabot na hanggang kisame ang stack ng mga kahon

(Close up ng Coleman camp beds sa previous photo) Hindi ito kasama sa ni-repack naming goods. Para sa mga “special victims” kaya ito? Ire-repack kaya ang mga “imported” camp pads na ito ever?

Sabagay, may BANIG naman para sa “ordinary victims”. Ito ang kasama sa inimpake namin. Sayang ‘yung imported.

Ano kaya ang laman nito? Hindi rin pinabuksan. Pang-special victim din kaya ito? (teka, dito nga pala galing ‘yung mga kumot)

Mahiwagang mga kahon from Japan Aid.

(close up ng mahiwagang kahon) Hindi rin ito kasali, of course. Hindi namin alam kung ano ang laman nito. “Imported” are not included, we have concluded.

Marami ito, mga laruang kasinlaki ng tao. Hindi nakunan ng pic kasi nasa tabi ng sikyo.

PORK AND BEANS? Yup, you’d think kasama ito sa relief bag. Pork and beans lang ‘to, puwede na sigurong ipamigay,

Naaah! “Imported” pork and beans from Spain po ito. Sorry, hindi pa rin included

Now let’s take a look at what a victim will get from DSWD

Look Ma, sampung lata ng sardinas! How generous! Kaldero ang unang ilalagay sa sako. Sabong panglaba (bar soap) at sampung sardinas sa ilalim. Siyam na sabon sa gilid ng kaldero. Local goods lahat syempre.

Tapos papatungan ng isang tuwalya at isang pack ng sanitary napkin.

Sisiksikan ng tatlong rolyo ng kumot(?) ang blue water jug tapos ipapatong sa kaldero sa loob ng sako.

Last but not the least, lalagyan ng dalawang banig.

Sabay tatahiin na ang sako. O di ba, parang asong tinapunan ng buto ang mga nasalanta? Eniwey, busog naman sila sa SAMPUNG lata ng Mega sardinas

Do not delay

YOU THINK?? WTF is the matter with these people? Mag-iisang buwan na mula nang masalanta ang mga kababayan natin. ISANG BUWAN !! Do you mean “do not delay ang dati nang delayed”?? Shet.

Anong ginagawa ng mga donations na ito sa warehouse?? APAT na warehouse ang nasa loob ng compound na ‘yon! APAT na warehouse na punong-puno ng inaalikabok na relief goods! Relief goods na ayaw yata ibigay sa mga nasalanta. Halatang-halata.

Marami pang pabubulukin

Wow! May bagong shipment na naman! At the rate DSWD is moving, next year na madi-discover kung ano ang laman ng mga kahong ito.

“The first of two of the largest high-energy food shipments from the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) arrived in the country two days ago for victims of storm “Ondoy” and typhoon “Pepeng.”

The biscuits were fortified with essential vitamins and minerals for supplementary feeding to children, pregnant women and the elderly in evacuation camps.. Another 100 tons of biscuits will arrive on Oct. 24, in a continuing effort to provide food assistance to flood victims.

Sige, ideretso ‘nyo ulit ‘yan sa DSWD warehouse.. Para AMAG naman ang abutin ng biskwit… at sapot ng gagamba.

Conclusion

Sa maghapon namin sa warehouse,nakagawa kami ng 150 sacks of relief goods. 150 bags of relief goods lang ang lumabas sa warehouse na ‘yon that day. At nandoon pa rin sa loob ang mga imported relief goods, safe, sound and packed as the day they arrived.

Nakisakay kami palabas sa isang DSWD delivery van. Gusto sana kaming ihatid ng driver hanggang Makati pero wala raw siyang sobrang gasolina. Ibinaba na lang niya kami sa gitna ng EDSA. Millions of dollars in donations, walang extrang pang-gasolina.

Susulpot din siguro ang laman ng mga mahiwagang kahon at mapapasakamay din ng mga tao…sa ARAW NG ELEKSYON. O mabibili na nila ang mga imported goods na ‘yon sa mga puwesto sa Quiapo at Divisoria.

Suggestions lang po sa DSWD:

·  Alam ‘nyo palang walang mag-volunteer sa inyo, bakit hindi kayo mag-hire ng mga tao? Bayaran ‘nyo ng arawan para mag-repack. Ang daming walang trabaho, makakatulong pa kayo. Hindi naman malaking kabawasan ‘yon sa bilyong pisong donasyon na natanggap ninyo.

·  Isa pa, gaano ba karami ang mga sundalo natin? Hindi ba puwedeng ipagawa sa kanila ‘yan? Baka isang araw lang , tapos na ang problema ‘nyo

·  Bakit hindi ‘nyo ibigay ang trabaho sa mga NGO, churches, private charities, TV stations? I’m sure they are more than willing to help. Time is of the essence. Huwag kayong suwapang. Obvious ba, hindi ‘nyo naman kaya.

Kung talagang gugustuhin ninyong makarating agad sa mga kawawang biktima ang mga donasyong ‘yon, nagawa ‘nyo na ‘yan. Maraming paraan… kung talagang gusto ‘nyo lang.You are the government. You have the power, the resources and the money. You just have to really care. 

You are the government. You have the power, the resources and the money. You just have to really care.

WHAT TO DO WITH MISTAKES

JOb 6:24

Teach me and i will be quiet, show me where i have been wrong.

Bihirang bihira ang tao na alam na nya na mali sya, pinagpapatuloy parin nya ang kanyang pagkakamali--katigasan na yan ng loob, katigasan ng puso. pero sabi nga ng mga arabo, "every good horse is entitled for atleast one fall". NAgkakamali, nadadapa. Pero ang mahalaga, nakakapagisip. We should specify and isolate mistakes from the big picture. Pag nagkaron ka ng konting problema, hndi mo pwedeng sabihin na sira na ang buong buhay mo. Yung nadapa ka lang ng isang beses, feeling mo di ka na makakabangon ulit.

We have to differentiate the doer from the deed. Pwede mong sabihin na "i hate what you did" But u shouldnt say " i hate you". You can say "What you did is wrong" But you cant say "you are wrong". Hindi mo pwedeng sabihin na, "alam mo ikaw, lahat nalang ng ginawa mo mali". KAsi pagi sinabi mo na overall na maki un tao, nagiging defensive yan e. Hindi na nya matatanggap yung kamalian nya kasi ang magiging primary concern nya is to defend himself.

If we dont isolate the doer from the deed, nagiging judgemental tayo. We become really personal. We attack the person more than the error, more than the specific mistake of that person. Minsan, ang liit litt ng pagkakamali ng bata, sobrang laki ng parusa. Ang liit litt ng ginawang kasalanan ng kapwa, halos isumpa mo na

Identification, classification, and measurement of mistakes can teach us proportion. One of the basic elements of beauty is proportion. We must proportion everything. Even our reaction to mistakes. How we react and how we assign values to error is important. Maraming nagmamahal na nagkakahiwalay forever dahil sa walang kakwenta kwentang kasalanan. Iba ang maliit, iba ang malaki, dapat yon kilala natin.

 we have to learn from mistakes. We have to learn mentally. Dapat pagnagkamali ang isang tao, nagiisip. Hindi mo lang tatakpan ng alikabok ung pagkakamali mo para hindi makita. Dapat nagiisip ka. Hahanap ka ng ganda sa pangit na nangyari.

Ecclesiaste 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in it's own time.

According to wise Solomon, "ang diyos, kapag yan kumilos, napapaganda nan lahat ng bagay. Bigyan mo lang ng panahon"

For example, you made a mistake. If you let God rule over you, let him control you're life, things will be beautiful. In a matter of three days, or a couple of weeks, or a couple of months, you'll see the beauty in that mistake. Not probably the mistake itself, but the lessons the mistake taught you can be beautiful. Kapag nagkamali ka na, tapos hindi mo pa nakita yung ganda, hindi ka pa natuto, yun ang talagang mali--sayang. pero kapag nagkamali ka, kahit ang pagkakamali mo ay malaki,pero natuto ka, ituring mo nalang un na tuition fee. Kung minsan anlaki ng tuition fee mo e para lang malaman mo na hindi mo na hindi mo dapat gawin ang isang bagay, ang laki ng naging damage. So pano mo mapapaganda? Ituring mo na tuition fee. "ang mahal ng binayad ko, dapat hindi na ko maging repeater sa subject na toh." Ang mahal na nga tas uulit ulitin mo pa, edi sobrang mahal na ng kakalabasan nan. We must gather knowledge and lessons from every mistake we commit. So we learn by elimination. Isang klaseng learning din yan e. Kun may ginawa ka, mali ang bunga, alam mo na na sa susunod if you have 10 choices, number 7 is wrong. Atleast 9 times ka nalang pde magkamali, kasi napatunayan mo na, na yung isa, mali.So may napala ka.

Time and the perspective of time shows the beauty behind everything. Even things that initially look ugly.Kapag may nangyari sa inyo na pangit, dahil sa pagkakamali nyo or dahil sa pagkakamali ng iba sa inyo, pwede nyong sabihin, "in His time, i will see the beauty of this." at habang hindi mo pa nakikita ang ganda non, tell yourself: " i will do what is right to do, i will avoid repeating mistakes, Instead i'll learn from it, be a better person, and soon, i will see the beauty behind this.

Kadalasan an kinakalat nalang ng bawat tao ung kamalian o kasalanan na ginawa nya. YUn sophomores, kakadating palang ng freshmen, sasabihin na kagad: "alam m ung teacher na yan nako naakainconsiderate." "alam mo yang prof na yan wala kang matututunan". yun e. pinapasa pasa kaya naman yung mali lang ng tao yun alam ng lahat. Osige, totoo, may negative ang bawat isa, pero may positive din! dapat tinitingnan mo yun dahil ang totoo, masmarami yun. Maraming maling nangyayari sa mundo, pero ang totoo umaandar parin ang planeta na toh, ibig sabihin mas maraming nangyayaring tama kesa mali. Wala kayong makikitang perfect na tao, wala kayong makikitang perfect na pamilya.

1st colej experience

whew. totoo ba it, colej na nga ba talaga ko??

haha :)

whew.

it was then the 9th of june. lumuwas kami ng parents ko. dala ko na almost lahat ng gamit ko-- skinnies, shirts, heels, flipflops, school supplies, pillows, and other stuff. whew, it's alredy 10pm nung nakarating kami ng dorm. shit, may ipis pa sa cr at sa kitchen, anu ba toh??? buti mejo nlinis na ni pa ung ibang parts ng cr. a part of me was excited--finally, a taste of freedom. . after arranging those stuff and spraying lysol everywhere, i kissed my parents gudbye and then shut the door. But then a sudden feeling of "aloneness" (if that's the term) came to me when i heard the rumble of the engine of our car fade. For the very first time i was alone here in Manila. I texted my friends para naman mejo mawala ung uneasy feeling.

12am na T.T.. hindi parin ako dinadalwa ng antok. arg. inaus ko na susuutin and dadalhin ko for tomorrow. sabi nila "bring your own baunan". Am i supposed to bring just "baunan" or "baunan with fud in it"??. so to play safe, i prepared 2 baunans-- one with pizzas on it and one empty. (haha. XD) .. so un, after cleaning myself, nahiga na ko and tried to sleep. it wasn't easy. may katabi akong bintana, may door sa may paa ko, may two empty beds sa tabi ko, and may malaking mirror sa may harapan ko. not to mention the deafening silence around the room. .

i closed my eyes and thought of hapy thoughts--family gatherings, highskul craziness, and of course, happy memories with gian. :) .i think of them until unconsciously, i drifted to dreamland..

5.3o am. i was awaken by the alarm of my phone. pamulat ko, parang, "woah, totoo ba toh? nakatulog ako mag1?". haha. i got up, fixed my bed, then made some hot water for the cupnoodles.. actually, 7.30 pa start ng ACTM orientation,. pero ewan ko ba kung bakit nagpaalarm ako ng 5.30. i wasn't excited, was i? haha. .so un, after preparing the noodles, i went to the shower then prepared myself. 7:05 na. i was supposed to start walking at 7. so un, lumabas na ko, di ko pa kasi alm kung ilang minutes aabutin paglalakad ko + paghahanap nung chorva pavillion.. ok. so nakalabas na ko ng dorm after saying gudmorning and gudbye kay ate guard. :) .walk, walk,walk. anmbilis, nasa overpass na agad ako. firsttym ko dumaan ng overpass. nakakalula :(  . tas un, sa gate ng ateneo:

manong guard: i.d.?

K: frshman po.

manong guard: walang i.d.?

K: hndi pa po nirerelease.

manong guard: nako hndi pwede yan. di ka papapasukin dito kung la ka id.

K: sa 15-17 pa release.

manong guard: kahit anong pang idenification, wala ka?

K: kuya wala e. (while showng her wallet)

Manong Guard: xa xa, pumirma ka na nga lang dito.

.hai jusko, pwede palang ganun nalang. so un, walkin agen. hanggang. "prrrrrrt!". hndi ko pinansin.

"prrrt! jaywalking ka!". Oh my god,. ako ata pinipituhan nung guard.  "wag ka jan dumaan! jaywalking ka! hndi mo ba nakita ung pedestrian lane?! bumalik ka. umikot ka.". aray ko. ok, edi iikot. arg. wat a day. simula palang nagkakanadagulo na.. edi un, starting that moment, bago ako tumawid, maghahana muna k ng pedestrian lane or... titingin ako sa paligid to check if the coast is clear. hahaha (evil laugh). at un, narating ko na ung pavillion. :)

may 4 lanes. blocks R, R1, R2, R3 and R4. hmm. anu kaya block ko? buti nakita ko si trina, i know kablock ko xa, and nakita ko na nakapila xa sa block R. yey! i know my block na. :) .after signing up, pinabigay nila ung baunan dun sa isang table. so ok, maiiwan muna ung isang baunan with the pizza sa bag ko.. nilapitan ko ung isang girl na mag1 dun sa isang sulok, with the expectation to make a new frnd. kaso bigla ba naman umalis! OK FINE,edi wag. XD. haha. hndi ako sumuko. pumunta na ko dun sa mga may upuan at tinabahan ang isa pang girl na nagiisa. "hi, may nakaupo?". umiling lang xa. then un, nagpakiramdaman kami. hanggang dumating si mr friendly and umupo sa katabi kong seat and started babbling.. pagkaalis nya, it was then when the girl beside me started to talk to me. buti naman :). nagkakawentuhan na kami. whew. two friends. i'm starting to make my day better.. the ginrup kami into blocks,ok din, i made another two friends, parehong chinese. :) . nagperform kami ng play, ang role k, isa akong maitim na somalian at gumamit ako ng BLOCKING LOTION na naging effective, ininterview ako sa tv at para akong sira na nagsisisigaw sa tuwa. haha XD. anyway, after non nag amazing race kmi. nakasalubong ko si joaqui. :)) haha.

aun, after the orientation, i was exhausted. pumunta na ko sa parking dahila andun na sina ma waiting for me. :)
