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 said affected 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!

Even grade school kids pitched in to help!
Youth volunteers repack detergents for distribution
Making beds from carton boxes
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:
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.
taena! hintayin natin sa eleksyon, maglalabasan tiyak yang mga relief goods na yan. nakakahigh blood! nuknukan ng kurakot!
Grabe naman ‘yan. Ilabas mo kaya yan sa media Ella. Who is the Secretary ng DSWD na yan? Alam kaya niya ang nangyayari sa loob ng dept. niya o siya mismo ang may pakana?! Sukdulan na pangungurakot naman na yan.
kaya mas okay mag donate sa abs or gma or red cross.
Nakaimbak lang lahat ng yaaan?! Samantalang dun sa ibang mga tumutulong, halos wala nang ma-repack. Lalo na nung minsang nag-volunteer akong tumulong sa repacking sa school ko, at biglang buhos yung ulan. Andaming relief goods na nasayang. Nako nako.
Tama ka, Ate Ella, eh. They have the power, the resources, and the money. Pero wala namang ginagawa.
hindi ba nila naisip na maraming kababayan natin ang kailangan ang tulong? Kung naiisip naman nila make a move….
Ate ella at sa mga bloggers natin excuse my word ah, pero kung sino man ang dapat na may obligasyon sa mga relief goods at services na kailangan ng mga kababayan natin ” YUDEPUTA KA!” (kung gusto may paraan kung ayaw maraming dahilan!
Sana naman maliwanagan na kung sino ang dapat na namamahala sa mga ganitong sitwasyon…
nakaka-usok ng ilong ‘tong nadiskubre mo na to. talagang makikita mo how inefficient/inutil our government are. parang sinahod nila ng timba ang tubig na binubuhos ng ibang bansa, pero patak patak lang kung ibigay ito sa mga tao. tama ka, patay na ang mga kabayo bago pa makarating ang mga damo na yan. parang nakakaramdam pa tuloy ako ng hiya sa ibang bansa na tumulong, makikita nilang naka-imbak lang ang pinagmamadali nilang maihatid sa pilipinas.
sana mafeature itong discovery mo sa bitag extreme ni tulfo.
hi ellaganda,
ganda mo talaga ‘day! i love this entry. kelangan, ikalat naten to.
hinila ako by one of your avid reader here. hinimatay na ata sa galet. kahit ako, nagiging igwana ako while looking at the pictures.

Matagal na ang ganitong raket na ginagawa nila. Ang alam ko nga yung mga tinitinda sa ukay-ukay ay mga relief goods din na hindi rin pinarating sa mga mas nangangailangan bagkus ay ibinenta nila sa mga tindahan ng mga second hand na mga damit. Pinagkaperahan nila ang mga relief goods na para sa mga nasasalanta ng kalamidad. Di bale, ika nga mabilis ang karma, ewan lang kung may takot pa silang nararamdaman.

ariel,
now ko lang na-getz yung joke sa ellen tordesillas na bantayan ang mga ukay ukay because that’s where i first read it and at that time, lito ako kung ano ang koneksyon.
grabe na talaga to!
I reposted your entry on my blog. Grabe na talaga ang mga pangyayari… nakakainis… Anyway, I am encouraging all my friends to repost this entry too…
Good job!
finorward ko yung blog mo sa pinsan ko nagcampaign kay Obama sa Cali.. sana ma-iforward nya sa nararapat
dapat talaga dyan kay pandak mapatalsik! nang makasuhan na agad sa lahat ng pinaggagawa ng pamilya nya
Goodness! What are they doing?! Ano balak nila? Hayaang makalimutan ng mga tao ang mga naibigay na perang dnasyon at mga goods. Para pag nakalimutan eh maiihahakot na nila sa kani-kanilang mga bahay?! Mahiya nmn sana sila! Ibinigay yan ng mga may kaya para maipamahagi sa mga nasalanta hndi sa mga taong nananamantala..Grabe nmn ang DSWD. Wala bang voluteers? How come na sa mga tv stations eh maraming nagvovolunteer. Then sa inyo wala?! Hndi kapani-paniwala!

hi.. pwede mo kaya i-report ang mga to sa media or something? i think effective syang pang-spread ng news as bad as this. and dahil nasa kalagitnaan tayo ng calamity, this will easily get the attention of the media..
maybe you should change your sidebar blog to something that will highlight your main blog? i hope this really goes around.
This shouldn’t surprise me… pero sobra na talaga to!! Thanks Ms. Ella for doing this.. this should be known by many~
Pati ba naman relief goods may RED TAPE pa?
Scheduling?? WTF!?
KELAN IPAPADALA ‘TO NG GOBYERNO????
talamak na korupsyon! mas mabuti pa yung relief operation ng 2 TV networks natin , ang GMA at ABS-CBN, diretso tlga ang relief goods sa mga tao. siguro mas marami pang nagvolunteer dun. nkakalungkot at nakakainis ang ganitong mga pangyayari.
in fairness naman sa isang social welfare deptment ng isang city na alam ko, truck truck ng relief goods ang pumupunta sa mga affected areas. they utilized their own staff saka marami din ng-volunteer.
Please report this to Imbestigador:

hi ella,
got this link from a friend’s facebook page. instead of blogging about this, i’ll post this na lang sa facebook page ko…
this is a wake up call to DWSD. thanks for sharing this.
I was tempted to repost this in facebook dahil umitin din ang ulo ko, but realized I’d be spreading reports that could inflame hate from a source that is not really reputable (pardon, I am just being careful with this post-modern journalism). My suggestion is if we do have a case, we report this to UNICEF.
anong dapat gawin sa mga donors para sigurado pupunta sa mga biktima ang padala. sino ba ang pwedeng puntahan? may iba pa bang paraan makatulong mismo sa mga nandoon sa evacuation centers?
what’s wrong with dis people?? Nakakasama ng loob.. At nakakaiyak.. Sana me mapuntahan na lahat ng relief goods na un.. Asap!!
di ko na makita yung mga pictures
Wait wait wait. Why can’t I see your pictures? I wanna see the pictures.
I’ll be sharing this to my mom. Where is/are the warehouse(s) located?
ila2gay q 2 s facebook!!
sobrang sama!
Ella,
ang worry ko lang dahil na bisto na ito, baka dalian nilang idespatsa ang goods para ang siste, walang ebidensya. at sabihin lang na as per this time eh nadistribute na.. (ganun kadali ha.. bilang na distribute nila..hmp).
dapat mamonitor kung ano at saan dadalhin yun goods, dahil pagkatapos nito eh wala na kahit katiting na tiwala natitira para sa kanila sa ano pa pwede nila palusot.
baka idala sa kung saan warehouse at duon itago sa takot na nasita sila.
This is horrible. Sigh. I wouldn’t be surprised kung suddenly dumami ulit ang mga ukay-ukay and sari-sari stores.
Lets demand an ONLINE inventory. mahirap na, yun nga harapan eh ginagago kayo.. pwede nila sabihin so and so.
Lets ask for a transparent inventory list actual relief recieved versus distributed. If they say again walang manpower to post, just give us the list ang damin blog dyan.
Wag na natin sla palusutin this time.
Kanino kaya ibebenta yun mga coleman na camp pads? mahal din yan pag nabenta.
Eh yun mga human size stuff toy na dapat napupunta sa mga na trauma na bata? sino kayang “mini toy store sa probinsya” ang ipa bebenta nila nito?
Ano ba yan ang sama ng mga iniisip ko, baka naman hindi nila ibebenta.. i hahati nila - for their Xmas party give aways!
Ella,
Salamat sa pagsusulat tungkol sa korupsiyon, na pati relief goods at donations e hindi talaga pinalampas.
Hindi ko makita ang mga litrato. Photobucket logo ang lumalabas. Mac ang gamit ko.
Hi Ella,
Thank you for posting this.
I had the same initial thoughts on the veracity of information and appropriateness of spreading it. But the pictures speak for themselves. I mean it will take an elaborate production skills to manufacture a ‘hoax’ like this. And who is malicious enough to want to do that?
It is just right that people see this esp those who sent the goods. They have a right to ask questions and make DSWD accountable for the relief goods. I’d have thought this would be a great opportunity for our government to show their good side. This clearly is a case of incompetence or again, self-serving interests (who can blame people for thinking elections?).
I also understand that volunteers be screened, but then, theft can easily be avoided if people go out through guarded gates - makikita naman agad kung may dala di ba? Or, like many commented, bring the army to help pack and provide security around the area until all goods are delivered. It gives incentive also to fast-track the packing and delivery process - the sooner it is out of the warehouses, the less headache about security issues.
Anyway, I shared the link provided by gangbadoy.multiply.com in facebook. It deserves investigation at the least AND immediate action to deliver the goods to the real calamity victims!
Thanks and God bless you.
Hi Ella,
I reposted your blog entry in my site and floated a question for you. I can’t say I am at all surprised with this bit of information that you divulged here in your blog — this government has been known for its callousness as much as it is known for its corruption. As a journalist, though, I am obliged to confirm the story to you as a source and gather as much additional info as possible (i.e. the warehouse address, official explanation of the DSWD, etc.).
Nevertheless, I applaud your effort to get the word (and images) out.
Grabe. Nakakapang-init ng ulo! Foot tongue in ah. Ano naman gagawin nila dun sa mga laruan?
Tapos di ba meron pa si GMA na directive na dapat sa Dee Ehs Davalyu Dee ang donations? Sarap pag-uumpugin ang mga letse. Habang sama-sama mga Pinoy sa pagtulong sa mga nasalanta, kapit-kamay naman sila sa pangungurakot! Haaay jusko.
By the way, I got here from Chuvaness.com. Rock on!
Hi… i cannot access with the pictures posted… are they all deleted?? thanks..
hi ms. ella,
na curious ako dito, i saw it kasi in facebook.. and it says “must read” so i did.. though i wasn’t able to saw the pictures kasi i have to “upgrade to Pro today” e di ko alam paano.. ehe..
kahit na di ko nakita yung mga pictures naniniwala parin ako sa’yo.. kasi sa t.v wala naman ako nakikitang relief goods coming from DSWD.. ang dami naman palang relief sa warehouse nila..
sana nga ma ireport ito sa media ASAP..para naman matauhan ang mga taong nasa likod nito.. maawa naman sila sa mga nasalanta! kailangan pa nila ng tulong lalo na ngayong may bagong bagyo nanaman na dumating..
by the way salamat sa iyong blog.. and more power.
will repost
Ella,
Thanks for bringing this to light. I hope this little controversy will wake people up and make them question our so called leaders!
Hi Ella,
I hope you don’t mind me asking this: When did the packing of relief goods happen? Just to have a better timeline perspective of your story and Cabral reply on TV. Btw, your website was down for several hours and many people on FB and Twitter lands were talking about this. Kala nila na-block na website mo
Hopefully, you can shed light on this na rin, it will appease a lot of people.
Regards,
Shan
Ellababes,
Nagulat ako nung laging lumalabas sa Twitter and Facebook ‘etong blog link mo hindi ko alam nung una kung bakit. I know you’re controversial, pero napasobra naman ata. LOL.
Kudos to you for exposing this DSWD controversy to the public. Officials have a lot of explaining to do. Pero nakakalungkot ding isipin na meron pala talagang mga taong ubod ng sama tulad nila na naninimkim ng tulong na dapat ay para sa mga kababayan nating nasalanta ng bagyo.
Bakit laging down ang server mo? Marami kasing nagsasabi na na-block daw dahil sa controversial mong post.
Ingat ka, Ellababes.
Is it okay if I reblog this is English? Thanks.
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 http://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.
Err. could you please reupload the photos? Thanks!
leche talaga ang mga taong involve sa mga kalokohang ito, hindi na naawa sa mga biktima ng kalamidad, mga walang puso. umuusok ang tenga ko sa galit. c pandak talaga kung ano ano na naman ang gingawang gimik makalusot lang sa agenda. gising na ang marami kaya konti na lang mapapaikot nyo, kayo kaya ang paikotin namin. malamang c pandak ang may utos kc ung secretary powerless naman un pag pinasukan na ni pandak.
hay.. nkkawa naman tayo sa mata ng mga nasa ibang bansa pero lalo pa tayong kinakawawa ng mga taong ito, leche sila. Sana may talino pang natitira sa mga utak nyo pero sa nakikita ko bulok ang resulta kaya bulok na rin ang mga utak nyo, leche talaga kayo.
no wonder why philippine is not moving.. so sad ;(
Hi, pwe cant see the pix anymore (lampas bandwidth yata) please pakirepost somewhere yung pics or upload sa rapidshare yung buong ZIP ng pics. Sayang po marami sa atin gusto makita.
I will share this as well!
Can you guys update this? I can’t seem to see the photos and I’m very concerned with this. The photos are all “bandwith exceeded”
Ella,
Suggestion. Siguro mas madaling ikalat ito kung nakasulat din sa Ingles. Nakakahiya man sa international community, pero siguro eto lang ang paraan para kabugin ang gobyernong kurakot.
ellaganda!!! langya sister, lalo kang sumikat dito. buong gabi kaming naghuhuntahan sa barrio, email, facebook, at kung saan saan pa regarding dito sa post mo. binalandra na namin lahat.
stariray ka. hahahahh!
Ella, were you able to see the whole perspective of this? I am only saying that there are always two sides to a story. Maybe you can also share with us what good experiences you had when you volunteered there? I also volunteered there and I saw how hard working the DSWD workers are. We also have to take note that the distributions of relief goods do not happen all at once. Bodega nga yan, kaya goods come and go depende sa pangangailangan. I think we all should realize and actualize what we can do to help the government. I know some of my friends who work in the government that are very much into changing for the better our government. Let’s do our share to help them. Send out love, not hate….
allaboutlove,
“I am only saying that there are always two sides to a story…”
Yes, dear, in this case there are only two sides…RIGHT AND WRONG.
“We also have to take note that the distributions of relief goods do not happen all at once. Bodega nga yan, kaya goods come and go depende sa pangangailangan.”
Kulang pa ba ang “pangangailangan” ng hundreds of thousands na nasa evacuation centers nationwide to warrant immediate distribution? Kailangan pa bang ang buong Pilipinas ang maging disaster area para lumabas ang relief goods na nakaimbak lang sa bodega?
Marami akong kilala, aboutlove, pami-pamilya, ang hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa nakakatikim ni isang kuping na delata ng sardinas o lumang kamiseta mula sa inyo. Mahigit isang buwan na ang lumipas, kulang pa ba sa tingin mo ang “pangangailangang” ‘yan? Ano ba ang “pangangailangan” sa iyo? Ang magunaw na ang mundo?
Send out love, not hate….
Kung ikaw ang walang maisuot, walang matulugan at walang makain, baka hindi lang “hate” ang maramdaman mo. Kung nakikita mong wala nang makain ang anak mo, may sakit at natutulog sa semento, may lugar pa kaya ang “love”, sa puso mo? Palagay ko, bugal-bugal na luha ang tutulo sa mata mo.
thank you so much ella for bringing this out in the open!! kapal talaga mukha ng gobyerno ni Gloria! kelan po ito ilalabas sa media? now may announcement sila na need nila volunteer..grabe! kung di mo pa nilabas wala din silang gagawin..
God bless you..and sana marami pang katulad mo ang magsiwalat ng kabulukan ng gobyernong ito!!
watch out mga presidentiables..vigilant na mga botante ngaun!!

i posted your blog in my facebook. I hope and pray that this would reach that level where crocs be annihilated and that our country will truly experience good governance. May God rescue and bless the Philippines!

Umpisa na ang kinatatakutan ng lahat….I can’t believe how cruel these people are? Ang daming nagdonate, pero tinitipid nila ang sarili nating kababayan…How dare them? I am so upset to read this. Sana naman may magawa ang taong bayan, para mailabas ang katotohanan.
Ella,
Here’s a tip for your image hosting needs. Photobucket sucks try imgur.com (no bandwidth limit).
HTH
Hi, Ella,
Thanks for your concern to spread this misdoings of our DSWD…tama nga yung nabasa kung news na mas DISASTER pa ang nararamdaman sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad sa insensitivities ng ating mga government agencies…Walang bang way nga ma-inform dito ang mga donors and have these pictures reach to them para sa sunod ng mga ganitong pangyayari, donation will be sent to NGOs and other real concerned groups…
I’ve been volunteering at dswd every saturday, and haven’t seen those imported stuffs talaga. puro local goods lang nirerepack namin dun sa malacanyang (sa kalayaan hall). me and my friends go there every saturday, (12hrs shift, 8pm -8am, it varies). kulang talaga vonlunteers lalo na kapag sa gabi, though i know its operating 24hrs. sana maresolve to agad by the gov’t. sana naman madisseminate nila yang mga donations ng ayos or work with sagip kapamilya, kapuso foundation or any other foundations.
grabe talaga gobyerno ni gloria macapagal arroyo. paghindi pa sila yumaman ng husto nyan, ewan ko na lang.
madam president, sana tamaan ka naman ng hiya sa taong bayan at iutos mo sa inutil na DSWD Secretary Esperanza Cabral na idistribute na ang lahat ng laman ng warehouse sa mga nangangailangan. yung eleksyon pa yata next year ang inaantay nyo bago nyo ibigay yang mga relief goods na yan sa mga nasalanta ng bagyong ondoy at pepeng.
Hi Ella,
Chanced upon your blog since I saw it posted on an online Filipino Community Forum here in Japan. Although your intentions may be for the good, I think you “jumped at the gun” too quickly with your accusations. I wouldn’t want to say its baseless - but all you have are photos which you took in less than 8 hours (you say 8am till mid-afternoon) and in just one day.
As a volunteer, did you have access to the delivery reports, distribution list and other paperwork that may proved your accusations that these items are just stored in the warehouse and are not distributed? Did you do a 2, 3 days or 1 week stakeout of the warehouse and fully concluded that items were not really moving? A full warehouse does not necessarily mean items are not being distributed. Do you have insider information as a Volunteer on when the items you have photographed delivery dates? Alam mo ba kelan dumating sa bodega yang mga kinuhaan mo ng pic, for you to say na natatambak sya sa bodega?
Again all you have are photos taken in less than 8 hour time frame and as a volunteer (re-packer, tagabalot so to speak) without any insider information on the delivery schedules, logistics reports on how, where and when this items will be distributed -
You go online and tell us niloloko tayo ng DSWD..
If you say you have senior editors consulting on your writing/blogging style then you should very well know not to post any accusations when you have no concrete proof (again photos taken in one day IS NOT PROOF OF NON DELIVERY)
I have nothing against you and I am just voicing out my concerns, since this blog of your has gone viral - and it may cause donating parties to pull out their help if they believe on what you have written ergo - mas magiging kawawa yung mga kababayan natin.. dahil walang tulong na darating.
Anyway, goodluck and hopefully you can provide us with more concrete evidence of non delivery (distribution lists, delivery dates, items received date, how many days in stock, etc.) So that if it was the case then we all should be alarmed.
lintik na DSWD yan ah…maiparating nga kay Kris Aquino ng maibulgar sila
Hi Ella,
Nice job Ms. Ganda at nakuha mo yang mga pictures na yan. Sa totoo lang nakakausok talaga ng ilong ang mga ito. Kahit kami dito sa office namin sa LAC Link Assist ay di nagdalawang isip na magvolunteer kung talagang tumatanggap sila ng volunteers. Mga LECHE tlaga ang nasa gobyerno natin, maraming namamatay na tao ng wala man silang ginagawang hakbang. I hate to say this pero sana sila na lang yung mamatay kung sila yung walang pakialam sa mga lubos na nsalanta na mga kababayan natin. Kahit sino po di mapipigilan ang mapamura sa expose na ito. Hindi nakakatuwa, sana yang Sec. Cabral na yan ay maranasan na maghirap, para magkaron sya ng puso at ng ISIP kung paano madistirbute ang mga relief goods na ito sa mga kababayan natin. Ang kakapal ng mukha nila, donation ng ibang bansa ay gusto din nilang kurakutin, kakahiya sa mga nagdonate. Sana Ella ay malaman ito ng media para mailabas talaga sa tevision ang kakapalan ng mga mukha kung sino sino man ang nasa likod nitong pagtatago ng mga releif goods na ito kasama na yang si Cabral. Shit talaga silang mga hinayupak.
thank you very much for exposing this! you are very courageous and you did the right thing! it really is so sad that people think of themselves and not think about their countrymen. those other countries have to spend money to help the needy and what happens? it goes to the greedy..
i just wonder bakit nung kasagsagan ng Ondoy relief drive mula sa iba’t ibang non-government agencies (schools, private organizations, TV networks, etc), bakit wala ako naririnig na news about DSWD seeking for volunteers? di ba may time na may overflow ng volunteers? the fact that DSWD has visibility over these donations coming in, activities for volunteer workers could have been planned for already so when the goods finally arrive, we can act immediately! kaya nga may tinatawag na PLANNING para ma-ensure na hindi ubos ubos biyaya ang pagpapamudmod ng relief goods!!!
sheesh.. i’m just a 25 yr-old modern slave struggling to get out of the rat race. to those already in the position to make sensible decisions, don’t tell me you never thought about that?
disgusting.
if this is true.. WTF talaga…. Maraming kababayan natin ang nangangailangan pa ng tulong…
Not enough volunteers??? dba maraming tao nmn ang mahilig mag rally para daw sa kapakanan ng ating bayan… Kagayan ng mga bayan muna, Akbayan etc etc…. Pwede namn cguro clang hingan ng tulong dba???
My name is Beting Dolor and I am a columnist and contributing editor for US-based Philippine News. I have been with this paper since 2002.
I was the one who called DSWD four times to try and get their side. I was told that Sec. Cabral was 1) at a meeting, 2) interviewing applicants, 3) in the comfort room, and 4) about to leave for Pampanga.
It was her office secretary who relayed to me her message that there are not enough volunteers.
I wrote my piece for Philippine News because I was disturbed by the relative inaction of the department. The Philippines is under a state of calamity. As such, action is needed now, not tomorrow.
The hundreds of thousands of displaced Filipinos need all the help they can get. They cannot wait.
In times like these, I expect the DSWD to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The DSWD says there are not enough volunteers. I disagree. There are tens of thousands of Filipinos willing to help. The DSWD should have gone to the schools to ask for volunteers. There are countless employees in the private sector willing to help. The DSWD could have asked the Armed Forces and the Philippine National Police to help.
I expect the department to take a more pro-active rather than a reactive stance. I expect the secretary to DEMAND that everyone help out. Lest we forget, human lives are at stake.
The victims are dying by the score everyday. It’s in the news.
As for the rotting of the goods, we all know that it is not only food that can rot. So, too, can clothes, canned goods, biscuits, blankets and everything else that can be found in the DSWD warehouses.
Time is of the essence. The food that the DSWD hands out today will be forgotten tomorrow. Believe it or not, the victims still need to eat every day. Three square meals, if possible.
Finally, the hoarding of the relief goods for future calamities does not make sense. We have just undergone the worst calamity in 40 years. Does the DSWD plan to keep those goods for the next four decades?
Distribute them now, not tomorrow, not next week, not next month.
Agreed, Madame Cabral?
i just wonder bakit nung kasagsagan ng Ondoy relief drive mula sa iba’t ibang non-government agencies (schools, private organizations, TV networks, etc), bakit wala ako naririnig na news about DSWD seeking for volunteers? di ba may time na may overflow ng volunteers? the fact that DSWD has visibility over these donations coming in, activities for volunteer workers could have been planned for already so when the goods finally arrive, we can act immediately! kaya nga may tinatawag na PLANNING para ma-ensure na hindi ubos ubos biyaya ang pagpapamudmod ng relief goods!!!
i’m just a 25 yr old modern slave trying to get out of the rat race. those already in the position to make sensible decisions about this matter, don’t tell me you never thought of that?!
disgusting.
putang inang gobyerno..putang ina talaga!
grabe!!napakacorrupt tlga ng country natin..as far as i know were ranking #2 as one of the corrupt country…while i am reading this blog of yours..i heard a news sa abs-cbn sa bandila oct.23,2009 11:45p.m ..about dito sa blog na to..sasabihin ko pa naman sana na sana makarating to sa kinauukulan..hehehe pero nakarating na pala late na ako heheh..
Based from the reply from Cabral, there was no mention of the so called “imported relief goods” or any response why DSWD are only giving them sardines and soap only… Ito na ba ang bagong square meal ng pinoy? Sardinas na ginisa sa tendercare??? Kalawang!!!! Yung mga tanga diyan, Iboto nyo pa rin yung mga nanggagago satin!!!
hi ella
pagpasensyahan nyo na ang DSWD baka nauubusan lang ng plastic bags na may tatak na GMA cares kaya di pa nagpaparepack at nagdistribute hehehe… o di kaya inaantay ang landfall ng palaboy na bagyong si ramil.
Good job Ate Ella! Thank you for sharing this! How come the Army won’t help distribute the relief goods to the needy ike you said? That’s what they do here in the U.S. I live in Texas and we had Hurricane Ike that literally obliterated everything in Galveston, when all the relief goods arrived, they didn’t stay in the warehouse, they were brought out to the shelters, distributed the same day.
It is so sad to see all the pics you posted, hindi pa rin pala nagbabago sa Pinas, and dami paring corruption. Ano kayang gagawin ni Cabral and company nung sa mga imported goods? Ipagbebenta nila? or gagamitin for her own good? Shame on her! She should be fired!!
seriously though i cannot help but wonder how on earth a government agency can be rendered inutile by the lack of volunteers (granting that there are no volunteers). i cannot simply believe much less accept that the much needed relief goods were not able to reach those who need them most simply because the primary agency of government which is supposed to deliver these goods cannot move because of lack of volunteers. there are thousands of soldiers and policemen in the camps. “Judicious use of resources at the outset is imperative lest we face the situation of even greater want after a period of relative plenty” daw sabi ni Sec. Cabral. Ibig nya bang sabihin sapat na ang natanggap ng mga biktima ng kalamidad and she already has the luxury of saving the donations intended for the victims of ondoy and pepeng for the future?
this is why the Philippine government suck!
spreading the word..

Hi:-)
Grabeh namen itong nabasa ka at nakita ko… i think maraming volunteer na pupunta kung mag-annouce lang sila. We went to Tulong Bayan Makati at grabeh ang volunteer minsan nga goods ang kulang para mare pack.I think tama ka Ella, naka sense rin ako na mag corruption na nangyayari.Of course gagamitin nila yan sa halalan…posible…I think better to send the donation sa mga NGO and other Organization na talagang dun sa mga nasalanta nang Ondoy pupunta ang mga goods na yan..Hope ma-realize nila na enough na ang panloloko..
maybe the goods will be usaed this coming election thats why they holding it for distribution to all calamity victim.
I agree that the government agencies responsible for helping the calamity victims should work hard and fast 24-7 if possible in order provide effective relief and then later rehabilitation perhaps. Media has always been fast to let everybody know what is going on, and that sometimes results to action. However, I always treat whatever information with a grain of salt, Does the information presented enough to make a wholistic opinion? UN and the rest of the donor countries I’m sure will send somebody to ascertain that the goods have been used as intended.
Those goods should be DISTRIBUTED NOW…. there are people who are in need of those relief goods NOW. These goods were DONATED FOR THE VICTIMS OF ONDAY AND PEPENG, NOT for the FUTURE VICTIMS (hopefully there would not be any!). Please do not make us feel that we DUMBED enough, not to know what is going on. The government should move with or without VOLUNTEERS (you are not a NGO), though in fact there are a lot who would like to volunteer… COME ON???? Ms. Cabral,,, where’s you conscience??? DO WHAT IS RIGHT even if you disobey the instructions of your BOSS aka GMA (the president)…. HAVE THE HEART
anu ba yan…. san nila dadalhin ang mga ito? sana mapurga ang mag taga DSWD!
ang kapal ng mukha mo cabral!!!
hi ella ganda,
Salamat sa ulat na ito at ang kabulukan ng gobyerno ay nalantad, eto ang masasabi ko para sa mga taong nasa likod ng anumalyang ito ” ang kakapal ng mukha nyo, buhay pa kayo pero sinusunog na ang kaluluwa nyo sa dagat-dagatang apoy, masyado na kayong maraming naperwisyo sa katarantaduhang ito, sana naman usigin kayo ng konsensya nyo, maawa kayo sa mga taong nangangailangan ng tulong lalung-lalo na ang mga nasalanta ng bagyong ondoy at pepeng. ” Sa mga taong nasa likod ng gawaing ito, sana kayo lang tamaan ng bagyo. MGA LECHE KAYO.
Shocks!! ang kakapal ng mukha! sila na naman ang makikinabang nun…mga corrupt talaga sila!!
useless talks….
let us see more actions.
you can not prevent the people from being vigilant regarding this matter.
you know better than that.
even a small kid knows that those people need help and they need it the soonest possible time.
when will we start thinking for other people first?
this are our brothers and sisters that need all the help that they can get. thay have lost everything, shelter, possessions, even their loveones.
let us not let them to lose even the help that was rightfully ‘THEIRS’.
if you can not do your work, get out and let others do the job.
hello?
Do you have some solid facts besides the pictures? If you have, then file a formal complaint.
ellabeybe, nasa FB ko na to..grabbed form a friend..hindi ko kasi alam post sa FB..buti me naglagay.makakaasa ka, sasabog ito ng bonggang-bongga!
palagay ko pag pinuntahan ng media ang warehouse nila, ubos na laman either biglang naipamudmod sa talagang me kailangan o “inilipat”
Good work ella. As i read different news paper flood victims complain they dont have enough food. Why delay in distributing food? Frau Cabral naka-experience kana ba ng gutom?
Hi Ella!
I admire your courage and thank you for posting this. You go girl!!!
I’ll post this on my FB and blog ha!
Sa lahat ng mga naninira sayo… asan ang manners/breeding nyo?
If can’t say anything good… Shut up!
It is so heartbreaking at the same time nakakainit talaga ng ulo what the Arroyo Gov’t is doing to its own people. Our village is one the hardest hit in Marikina. My situation is far better than what I saw in evacuation centers thats why I feel for those who rely on relief goods sent by kind hearted people who really want to help. Pinagkakitaan na nga nila ang bagyo by releasing millions of calamity funds ganyan pa ang gawa nila sa mga taong nagugutom!!! Excuse my word…. Punyeta sila lahat.
well done for bringing this out in the open..hay naku wla tlgang kupas ang gobyerno,khit kelan,khit pnhon na ng kalamidad…pangungurakot p dn ang iniisip…kelan kya sila mgkakaroon ng totoong pagmamalasakit s kapwa nila filipino…..sometimes u just like to live somewhere else tuloy,dhil s walang kuwentang gobyerno ntn e….nsan ang puso nyo…
yung cash donation sigurado nasa mabuting kamay na nila yun at instant PUNDO na para sa 2010 hehe
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!?
yo ella!
you made a very brave post! hats off! two thumbs up! ano pa ba, sige pati mga happy feet ko up din
Spreading the news Ellababe from FB to friendster to Blogspot. Thank you for posting this. Take Care my Dear! Muah!
secretary cabral you are the worst excuse of a public official!! you obviously don’t have the concern nor the right management skills for such task!! you’re one big shame as a filipino and as a human being.
Hi Ms. ella! Salamat sa iyong blog at shempre sa maraming blogs pa na nageexpose ng ganitong anomalya sa gobyerno. Anyway, ambilis nga sumagot ni pareng mikey about this DSWD thing, at mind you ‘te sa twitter pa siya nagsiwalat ng news. Eh diba galit siya sa Netizens especially FB users and bloggers, shempre di na rin lingat dito ang twitter… Pero ironic nga that he’s using twitter to update people on what he’s doing… tapos he wants people to add him sa facebook… That’s why whenever he tweets, I can’t help but laugh nalang… kasi naplaplastikan ako… Anyway, sensha na nagkwento na ako, but here’s his post regarding DSWD’s relief goods.
RT: mikeyarroyo DSWD now looking for volunteers to help in packing relief goods in their warehouse. Contact Ms.Fabian, Head of Nat Resource OpCen at 8528081
Source: Mikey’s twitter account…
God bless the Philippines. =(
Sorry for flooding a 2nd post, can’t help but post this link as well… Another red tape sa customs is that if it’s not addressed to DSWD ang mga relief goods, pinapahirapan rin i-release. Patay na ang kabayo, dinedebate pa rin ng DSWD at Customs kung irerelease un ‘donations’ from other country na di naka c/o sa DSWD. CRAP talaga…
http://kahel-luna.livejournal.com/113097.html?view=1507529#t1507529
nakakafrustrate naman ang balitang 2…I’m based in Dubai, at kahit sa kaunting naitulong namin, malaman pa namin na di nakarating dyan ang mga donations…ayoko nalang magsalita ng masama pero sana makokoncensya sila sa ginagawa nila..kung wala silang koncensya, God na bahala sa kanila…. sana lang makarating na agad ang mga kailangang ipadating sa ating mga kababayan…thanks for posting…..
Take action now! Filipinos should gather together and MAKE the DSWD distribute those goods!!!
“” YUNG MGA BAGAY NA BINIGAY PARA SA MGA NASALANTA DI KAILANGAN ITAGO AT GAMITIN PANSARILI !!! MAHIYA NAMAN SANA KAYO SA SARILI NYO, KAYA TAYO NAPIPINTASAN NG MARAMING BANSA. DAHIL SA ILANG PILIPINO NA BULOK ANG UGALI AT PRINSIPYO SA BUHAY. ILAGAY NYO ANG SARILI NYO SA MGA TAONG NASALANTA , NAMATAYAN, WALANG MAKAIN AT NAKAHIGA LANG SA SAMENTO PARA MARAMDAMAN NYO KUNG ANO YUNG SALITANG
” KAAWA-AWA”. DI MARAHIL NGAYON PERO PAG DUMATING NA ANG ORAS NA SA INYO NAGANAP ANG TRAHEDYA ,HULI NA PARA SA PAG SISI.”
truly na eye opener sa ating mga nakaupo. sana ay magamit nila ang resources para makarating sa mga nangangailangan. bilyon ang donations kung ayaw nila kumuha ng volunteer why not hire para mabigyan pa ng work ang mga mamayang walang work.
wag naman sana masayang katulad na nangyari noon sa mga NFA rice na nabulok lang sa isang warehouse.
Wow! wtf! ano bayan mga alang kaluluwa
pure assholes!! sila dapat ang nalunod e. good thing our help from the cayman islands were coursed through red cross and abs cbn. tsk tsk..
Hi, I linked this on Facebook to join the wildfire of cause.
Sa tingin ko hindi mo na-gets yung sinabi ni rene borromeo. Ang ibig n’yang sabihin ay ang tatamaan lang ng blog na ito ay isang hindi gaanong ‘reputable’ body, which is DSWD. He was trying to point out na para mas malayo ang marating ng kasong ito, mas maganda kung sa UNICEF idederetso yung report, which is more ‘reputable’ than DSWD. Baka nga mas epektibo ang hakbang na kayang gawin ng UNICEF kung makarating ito sa kanila, but til that happens, let’s keep the fire burning hanggang sa masunog ang mga nasa likod ng anomalyang ito.
Hi Ella,
I reposted this story on my balay (blog site). I hope you would not mind provide your links there.
Totoong nakakapangmura at init ng ulo ito. If these relief goods are well distributed as the agency claims, then they should not be there. They should be in the hands of the victims.
And hello nila, ilang araw lang ba ang 10 lata ng sardinas, sabihin na natin there are 5 in the family?? E three times a day pa ang kain nun. Tsk.
More power to your blog!
~taas kamao~ 
PI talaga si Pandak, sigurado pagdatinf ng eleksyon maglalabasan yan lalo na sa pagkandidato niya at ng dalawa nyang mga anak na walang sile sa bayan

>>> potah! nakuha pang mag-sinungaling sa media ng DSWD. eh may pruweba na nga! nakakasama ng araw itong DSWD. mga bullshit!
ok n din na dumating satin ang ondoy at pepeng.
at ok din n nagkaron k ng tapang na kumuha ng pics kahit bawal dun.
at least ngaun, sana lang, na magising na mga pinoy sa darating na botohan.
mga tol (pinoy) magisip isip n tayo ngaun sa pagboto.
hindi porke pumunta sa burol ng kamaganak natin ang pulitiko
hindi porke nagdonate ng mga waiting shed ang pulitiko na may malaking pangalan nya
hindi porke magaganda ang mga sinasabi nya sa interview sa media
hindi porke nagpapakita sya sa mga tv stations kapag may mga malalaking skandalo na akala mo eh tlgang concern sya
at marami pang hindi porke..
eh mabuti na sya. karamihan sa kanila plastik
mas mabuti kilalanin natin tlga sila
minsan hindi maiwasan ng mahihirap na tanggapin ang bayad para iboto sila. pero sige tanggapin nyo pero wag na wag nyo silang iboto.
wag kau mhiya dahil sila hindi nahihiya sa mga kawalang yaan.
sana magising na tayo. sana matuto na tayo,
lahat naman tayo nag gigigil kapag nakakakita ng mga ganitong issue eh.
kaya mas mabuti magsimula n tayo ngaun.
may mga dadating na show sa mga tv stations ngayong eleksyon tungkol sa interview sa mga tatakbo.
doon pa lang makikita na ntin kung sino ang totoo. kung sino ang puro salita lang.
sana lng mga tol (pinoy) matuto na tayo.
sana…
DSWD officials are preparing their warehouse retail store right now to move those products somewhere in the Philippines. They are holding those relief goods for themselves.if not, how come so many people are starving to death every where. Millions of cash donations in $$$$$$$ and only things that are given aways are i small bag of rice and a can or sardines per family. where are the money?pls have pity on those people..let them eat ..those goods are for them.tax payers already paid your mansion..thats enough
Hey Guys,
Here’s another update. Keep it coming. Sana we need to do our part as well. People out there ask for more volunteers.
http://burymeinthisdress.com/blog/2009/10/are-relief-goods-from-abroad-gathering-dust-in-dswd-warehouse/?utm_campaign=Twitter%20for%20BMITD&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter
Be patient my fellow countrymen..those relief goods are to be distribute sometimes in May of 2010 (for election campaign) DSWD are still waiting for boxes to pack everything, and those boxes are labeled with the name of the Administration Candidate..for president
Super antok ako kasi nga, Friday shift at wala na masyadong trabaho, out of nowhere, may nag ST (Sametime) sa akin yung boss ko about this link. Aba para akong uminom ng Red Bull na may pulutang Extra Joss gising agad ako sa INIS!
Sana naman kung hindi kaya ng DSWD, hwag silang makipagsabayan sa relief operation ng ABS CBN at GMA, o kaya coordinate with these two stations para naman yung mga taong nasa waiting list nila ng volunteer eh sa DSWD na lang mag volunteer.
Pero anyway that is not the point! I was wondering kung may nag donate kaya ng formalin at kabaong for the people that died, i ho- hoard din kaya nila ito for safekeeping in case sila naman ang mamatay?
lintik yang ginagawa ni cabral na yan sana naisip nya that thousands of victims need basic needs and complaining that they dont received yet those donations…sana sya na lang ang nakaranas lahat yung baha na duating sa mga taong yun.Bulok talaga ang ahensya ng gobyernong to.nakakwalang gana…
Hindi na kataka-taka na nangyayari ito sa ating bansa, we’re rated as one of the top three CORRUPT countries in the whole world. Mismong gobyerno na natin ang nagpapahirap ng buhay ng bawat pilipino sa ating bansa. Puros pang-sarili lang ang iniisip ng bawat opisyal na nakalukluk sa gobyerno natin. NAKAKAPAGOD NA!!! MAAWA NAMAN KAYO SA MGA KAPWA NYO!!!
know what? i think it’s better to hand those relief goods to ABS-CBN/GMA coz there are many celebrities are more than willing to volunteer and help. actually mas ginagawa pa yata ng mga ito ang dapat sana e DSWD ang gumawa.. it’s been a month now yet those “goods” didn’t do any “good” to our fellow men kasi nakatambay lang.. pangkain siguro ng guard at nung isang dswd employee.. make it their food supply for years.. mabubuhay na kayo jan kahit jan na kayo matulog!! haaiizztt!! dalhin niyo narin pamilya niyo jan! sarap ng buhay!
Here’s my opinion…..a picture can say a thousand words. After reading this blog, my initial reaction was get mad sa DSWD and sa gov’t natin. But later on I calmed down, then thought I can’t judge anyone without hearing the other side. Kasi this will sound like judgment by publicity, basing sa facts ng blogger, she only has a short response from DSWD then pictures.
Then now, I saw an article from Social Welfare Secretary Esperanza Cabral sa ABS CBN (http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/10/23/09/dswd-cries-foul-over-online-allegations-hoarding). Which from my opinion makes a lot of sense why they have those relief good there.
I agree with you mam,
dapat malaman ng mga CONCERN sa gobyerno.. yun eh kung Meron ngang concern s kanila, pero wala!
kaya nila pinatatagal yan kasi IBEBENTA lang nila yan mga goods,
that is why it is better talaga na kung magbibigay ng donation sa mga biktima ng kalamidad eh i diretso na mismo sa mga TOTOONG BIKTIMA hindi sa mga NANG-BIBIKTIMA!! madaming ka awa-awa.
Ella, pahiram din nito ha link ko sa facebook ko. Thanks.
ang kapal talaga ng mga muka ng mga taga DSWD, kung sino man ang namamahala ng DSWD dapat matanggal sa sa trabaho o baka naman isa rin sya sa nakikinabang, wala silang awa sa mga mas nangangailangan. hoy gloria gumising ka ang kapal ng muka mo palibhasa isa ka rin at ang pamilya mo na walang ginawa kundi mangurakot, kung sabagay “ang magnanakaw galit sa kapwa magnanakaw” sana gloria kahit ngayon lang naman kumilos ka para sa mga nangangailangan…
naku, pano na kaya yung pina direct ni wowowee “willy” nung last saturday na donation nung mga TFC epsecially yung taga Canada na malaki din ang amount? Tsk…tsk…tsk…yun relief goods madaling makita at nasa warehouse, eh pano yung mga donasyon na pera, alam naman natin lahat na yung resibo sa pag tanggap ay nagagawan din ng paraan…Gobyerno Pa…Sucks!
nako naloko na, sa mga tatanggap ng relief sa mga susunod na buwan kahit yari na yung bagyo, tignan niyo yung mga pinamimigay sa inyo, baka na request pa ng pondo para diyan para bilhin pa ulit yung mga free na binigay ng ibang bansa, o di kaya mauwi na naman sa wala itong kalampag ni ella, buti pa si kris aquino na lang ang gawing DSWD head at wag na si noynoy ang iboto niyo para di bigyan kulay ang nagagawa ni Krissy..chozz.
Hi Ms. Ella, nakakastress ang magexpose ng ganitong entry, and kudos to you for doing it. Remember the Pic of Mikey buying Alcohol? Well, I admire the courage of that person for exposing such pic, na-suspended pa account nya sa fezbuk. Freedom of speech rulez pa rin! ^^
P.S. At least dahil sa entry mo, nakapagformulate na ng magandang response ang DSWD and natuunan ng pansin ng publiko ung tambak na imported goods doon. Oh well, magandang umaga!
Nakakalungkot… nakakalungkot na malaman na sa gitna ng ganitong krisis ay may mga tao pa rin na pagiging corrupt ang iniisip. Unang una hindi naman sa kanila galing ang mga goods na iyan, at lalong hindi para sa kanila kaya hindi nila kelangan itago. Sana ma-konsensya kung sinuman ang utak ng pagtatago ng mga goods na to. Naniniwala ako sa KARMA, it’s universal in all religions.
Thanks to you Ella, for airing this out. You made a big difference! Am sure sa ngayon, halos umiikot na ang mga paa ng mga taga DSWD at hindi na alam kung anong gagawin, SANA MATAUHAN NGA SILA!!!
Ngek…yan na talaga ang kalakaran sa Pnas…kalungkot…pano yan pag nalaman ng mga foreign donors ..kakahiya..kapal ng mga mukha..sana ibalik si Dinkee Soliman di ganyan ang mangyayai…
ikakalat natin to …

nako ella lakasan mo loob mo darling…nde k tatantanan ng gobyerno. nkikinig ako sa programa ni noli de castro now at lumalabas na pinagtatakpan nya si espi.
hay pinas..
Kahit na anong exposé na gawin natin, hindi tatablan ang mga ito. ang kakapal na yata ng mga kapit nila. kasing kapal ng kanilang mga MUKHA. lulusutan at lulusutan din nila to, yun ngang mga nakaraang malalaking exposé, nalusutan, ito pa? baka utos to ng pamilyang diablo na ang pinuno ay may napoleonic syndrome. isipin nyo, malapit na ang pasko. regalo para sa mga constituents.
Hi Ate Ella,
Ill post this http://www.ellaganda.com to my FS, FB and twitter account! Hope everyone would care ’bout it… Una kong nakita ung blog mo sa http://mabuhaygirl.multiply.com, and upon reading it, nakakalungkot
ilang bagyo na ang dumaan sa Pinas just this past few weeks pero ung mga naimbak na goods sa DSWD ayun bumabagy o sa warehouse nila… ‘Di ba nila naisip na ang daming nagugutom at walang matirhan.. Bakit umabot nga naman ng gantong katagal ang mga goods na un na dapat ay napapakinabangan na ng mga biktima!
grabe naman yan garapalan na to….
Elle, what you did was a brave thing to do. Keep it up and don’t “rot”! Meaning, di gumagalaw, nakatambak and NOT naaagnas, inaamag, eww!
Now it is obvious that declaring a state of calamity is opportunity for the G to make money! Kainis!
And you are correct: The burden of proof is on them NEVER on the volunteers, givers, broadcasters, bloggers, etc.
grabe naman toh.. > < haiii.. nakakalungkot isipin na ganto pala ang nangyayari sa mga relief goods na binibigay para sa mga nasalanta.. kung pwede lang papakain ko lahat yan sa nasa mataas na posisyon sa gobyerno.. saksak nya sa lalamunan nya..! sigurado ko pag nabilaukan yan walang magliligtas.. hayaan nalang syang mamatay sa kabulastugang pinaggagagawa nya..
Hmmm. Nakakadisappoint naman. But I guess we can’t put all the blame on them (DSWD). The best thing to do is… tayong mga nagcocomment dito, why not go there and volunteer.
Sa totoo lang, hindi lang sampal ito sa mga nakaupo sa gobyerno at sa sekretarya at opisyal ng nasabing departamento. Sa halip, ito rin ay sampal sa mga taong walang pakielam sa nangyayari sa bansa at mas minabuti pang magpasarap sa buhay. Bakit nga ba walang volunteer? Simple lang sagot dyan, walang gustong magmalasakit. Tayong mga nagcocomment dito, of course, it seems na we do care a lot. But volunteering is more than any comment will do. Kasi parang imposible ung maghihire ng tao ang DSWD para idistribute tong mga relief goods na ito. Madaling idahilan ang WALANG maisasahod. Palaging dahilan.
Syempre, ang sisi uli nyan ay babagsak ulit sa MAHAL nilang PANGULO. Kung bakit ganto, at bakit ganyan.
Tama! garapal na sila kung garapal!
Simpleng mamamayan ka ba?
Sa palagay ko ay may magagawa tayo. magtulungan tayo, kahit sa simpleng paraan, makatulong tayo. Salamat Ella para sa iyong nasulat, marahil ay marami ang matatauhan, hindi lamang ang gobyerno, o yung nakaupo sa trono, o higit sa lahat… yung mga taong walang paakielam at walang balak makielam.
teka’t iinom muna ako ng para sa high blood.
let’s spread the word around. Iyong mga relief goods including IMPORTED ONES ay para ipamigay doon sa LAHAT ng nasalanta ng bagyo . Hindi na dapat patagalin pa diyan sa warehouse. TALAGA NAMAN ! nape-penoy na ako!!!
ano sabi ni cabral? may darating daw kasi na bagyong ramil kaya nila inihahanda para sa northern luzon? ha?
di pa po nakakabangon mga sinalanta ni pndoy at pepeng…hell-ow? paghahandaan nyo si ramil? hayun si Ramil, naka steady pa, ayaw din gumalaw, baka kayo(DSWD) hinihintay? bilisan nyo daw! hahaha!
magre-release daw ng pondo, magkano nga ulit? P10B? P12B? kelan?
‘yung pondo ng bagyong FRANK last year pa, kailan lang nakarating sa mga victims? eto ang appeal ng mga officials: http://www.inquirer.net/specialfeatures/typhoonfrank/view.php?db=1&article=20090327-196415
eto sagot ng palasyo:
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/regions/04/01/09/arroyo-oks-p481-m-rehab-fund-w-visayas-official
suggestion ko lang kung kailangan nyo talaga ng maraming volunteers? sa ibang gov’t institutions po marami magpasabi lang po kayo madam cabral…sa mga training centers/schools ng AFP, PNP, BJMP, BFP, mga private schools na may ROTC kung meron pa? hindi po yan abutin ng dalawang linggo, tapos na ‘yan. proper coordination lang po. libre po ‘yan.
mabuhay ka ella!
salamats po…
dapat bigyan ng emergency attention ng pamahalaan ang pamimigay ng mga relief goods including IMPORTED ONES para sa lahat ng nasalanta ng bagyo at baha SA LALONG MADALING PANAHON. Talaga naman! naman! nape-penoy na ako!!
ano ba yan. sobra na ang gobyerno ntin. ang dami nghihirap dahil sa nangyaring kalamidad na ang isa sa pinakamalaking may kasalanan ay ang kapabayaan at kabulukan ng sistema ng gobyerno. ngayon, pati yung tulong na dapat pra sa mga taong lubos na nangangailangan ay tinatago nila. hirap na hirap na mga kababayan natin dahil sa kalamidad bukod sa pagiging inutil ng gobyerno tpos yng tulong na nararapat pa sa kanila ay hindi binibigay….GOD BLESS PHILIPPINE PEOPLE FOR THIS WORST CALAMITY THEY COULD EVER EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No volunteers? May I suggest that they contact the congressmen who paid the bill at Le Cirque and “Steak resto” in NY. Their 1 million can give jobs for: 22,800 man-hours. In short, if DSWD will hire 50 persons to repack the donations, they can work for 57 regular days. Kesa nmn sa wala silang ginagawang action on how they will include “Coleman” items in repacking. Call the attention of the 2 congressman. Its time to give back to people. better late than never
Hi Ella. When I first read your blog my reaction was to get pissed. So I read it again. You didn’t say naman that they were keeping it for themselves. Your point was, “why is there a delay in the distribution?” Of course that implies a lot, and people who already distrust the government are quick to add their personal opinions to this blog. I wouldn’t say this is all Sec. Cabral’s fault. I don’t think any experience in her life quite prepared her for this kind of thing. Yun nga lang, malas lang at medyo in the dark ages pa ang kanilang pag-unawa sa bilis ng balita sa internet, despite having their own website. Prior to your expose ang laman lang ng kanilang “news” ay yung photo op with Gibo Teodoro. Yes, may Google Docs sila listing what was received and how much. Pero hindi naman nila inilagay kung aling barangay ang nakatanggap ng alin, at kung kailan. My point is, what they think the public wants to know is totally different from what the public REALLY wants to know. How will they claim then that their deliveries are timely? I feel sorry for the DSWD and I’m not defending them, I just wish they would accept the fact that the bureaucratic world and the needs of the real world often don’t match. You said, “You’re the government, you have the resources. All you need to do is care.” You are right, Ella. Kung kailangan, maaaring magawan ng paraan. They could take a page from the private sector and take advantage of the news networks to appeal for volunteers. I’m sure Sec. Cabral worked very hard for her position, but if she doesn’t take the opportunity provided by this situation to make a real and lasting difference, it would be very hard to get donations coursed through the DSWD.
Yung sister- in- law ko who works for an international aid organization nagsabi na sa akin na yung tulong intended for the victims, delikado pag nakurakot ng koruptong politicans for their own personal gains. mas lalong kawawa yung mga nasalanta and nakakahiya tayo sa mga banyagang gustong tumulong sa atin!
Kawawang Pinas. Ganito na lang ba parati ang mga opisyales natin? Sila ang may power na gumawa ng kabutihan, pero exemplo ng kapalpakan.
Naku nag email na ako sa UNICEF, pinakita ko itong link na ito at sinabi ko at pagpapalakad ng DSWD sa kanila, nag reply agad, nag pasalamat at galit na galit, no wonder daw, na kaya binabaha ang bayan, sigurado, ang mga tubong kinabit sa drainage na siningil sa taong bayan ay kinabitan ng under size para magkamal ng limpak limpak na salapi. Ang galing naman ni Ella, talo pa nya si Mike Enriquez ng Imbestigador, nagawa nyang kunan ang mga tinatagong relief goods ng DSWD. Ang katwirang “walang volunteer” na mag rerepack ay isang malinaw na may anomalya sa pag didistribute ng mga goods. Anyway, papatigil daw ng UNICEF ang padala ng supply at sila mismo mag iimbestiga sa mga nakita nilang ito, magsasagawa din sila ng actual survey sa mga tao kung talagang nakatanggap sila ng mga pinadala nilang items. Kakahiya ang mga namamahala sa bayan natin, may trahedya na, sinasamantala pa. Karmahin kayo ng sangmilyong ulit sa kasamaang ginagawa niyo, naway bumalik sa inyo at sampu ng inyong pamilya ang kasamaang pinagagagawa nyo sa mga kababayan nating Pilipino.
Tingin ko, walang Pinoy na hihindi sa DSWD kung nag anunsyo sila ng pangangailangan nila sa volunteers at that time. Isang malaking kasinungalingan na sabihing wala ni isa!.
Isa pa, ako mismo as a regular volunteer, I don’t think kailangan pa ng sandamak-mak na papers para mag-volunteer diba? Pakita ka lang sa center, list your name in a Logbook, perhaps, put a sticker with your name on it and voila!
Maraming magmamalasakit, actually pero ang iba hanggang lip service lang. Hindi makatayo sa kinauupuan to make a difference onsite where help is needed most. I do not want to blame DSWD or the government exclusively kasi kung tutuusin maraming naging epekto ang bagyong dumaan nang dahil rin sa ating kapabayaan sa kalikasan (at kasama na ako doon)
All in all, suggest we pray, continue to seek ways to help out (financially or otherwise) and keep on believing na kaya nating lahat ito. Ella, maraming salamat for posting this. Its linked now to all my personal sites (Facebook, Myspace, what not…) Greetings from an OFW in Malaysia
what else is new iha mia???
that’s why i never tried to volunteer sa ganyang mga government chuvaerks…hehhehehe!! naglielow na rin ako sa media….kakainis lang if you know the whole truth about corruption sa dswd…..heheheh!! @kelan naman tayo nagkaroon ng matinong namumuno sa dswdM, IHA MIA???? eh kung yung mismong namumuno din sa kanila…matino din ba???? yun lang…..mismo!!!!
they can hide their rotten agenda…..their rotten corruption from people…but, THEY CAN NEVER HIDE THEIR CORRUPTION MIND/DOINGS FROM GOD….WHO SEES ALL THEIR CARELESS DOINGS…PROMISE!!
Ella, guybyerno ang kausap mo. Mahirap gisingin ang nagtutulug-tulugan. Anong sabi ni Marie Antoinette? “Let them eat cake!”
hi ella, thanks for sharing this with us. di naman alam na may anumalya palang nagaganap sa warehouse ng dswd. one of my cousin works at dswd ill repost this and share this to her.
i was also shocked to see the logo of agencia espanola, since that agency is our client.
ganun na ba sila talaga kaswapang na kahit na sa panahon na kalamidad at maraming ang nagugutom at namamata sa gugutom eh sariling ka[pakanan pa rin ang naiisip nila? tsk tsk
by the way ella….thanks iha mia for having the COURAGE to unveil the issue about the dswd thing…the relief goods…na upto now…malamang sa alamang, pinag-iisipan pa siguro nila kung kelan pa nila ididistribute ang mga imported relief sa mga “DESERVING” victims kuno…hehehhehe!!
I SALUTE YOU IHA MIA!!! IKAW LANG ANG ME BALLS KAHIT NA DI KA BOY…HEHEHEHEH!!
GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY, ELLA!!
Sana lahat ng journalist….or bloggers..maging katulad mo iha mia….
SELFLESS…..NOT SELFISH….
God be with you always….and i will do pray for your safety , iha…
promise!!!
Ella, guybyerno ang kausap mo. Mahirap gisingin ang nagtutulug-tulugan. Anong sabi ni Marie Antoinette? “Let them eat cake!”
magpa interview ka sa tv…para malinaw ang lahat
Ella, tama yang ginagawa mo-spread the word yan na lang ang tanging paraan para masupil ang kalabisan ng iba natin na nasa gobyerno. Para kondenahin din ng international organizations ang mga yan dahil walang mangyayari kung dyan lang sa Pilipinas nakikita o nababalitaan dahil sila-sila nagtatakpan. At para na rin ma-i-account ng mga international agencies ang mga donations nila. Sana sampahan ng karampatang parusa-international man o local ang mga taong hindi tumutupad sa tungkulin lalo na sa panahon ng kalamidad.
I hope KC Concepcion will have the chance to read your blog. She did all that she can to seek help from her organization for our countrymen. But look what happened to all her efforts? All the energy biscuits given by WFP are not distributed to all Filipino children.
KC, if ever you read this please do react. You have the voice that will be listened. You have all the means and the right to give direction on what to do with the goods that you and your organization gave to the government. Once again we should do some actions on this.
Ella, thank you so much for your bravery in exposing this. This kind of issue will not just pass, expect us to spread this. I (together with my family) am one of those who were affected by typhoon Ondoy. But I was able to lend my hands and volunteered for Red Cross. They still need lots of food, water, toiletries, medicine, etc. in their relief operations. Those goods in DSWD warehouse could have been the answer to Red Cross’ shortage.
DSWD and the PGMA government is very disappointing. What’s next in their corruption?
Iniintay lang ng Secretary of DSWD ang mga sticker ni Villar para malaman ng tao na si Villar ang bida ng Pinas.
Land grabber na, mandurukut pa. Totoo nga na galing sa mahirap. Malamang maduruj=kut noon mayaman, kaya tuloy and ugaling magnanakaw. Pinagmalaki pa ang pagka
magiging mandaraya, magnanakaw at pekeng tao. Malunod sana kayong lahat sa sunod na bagyo. Mula Presidente hanggang Congressman at ang buong kabinete.
Kung gutom iton ahas maging Presidente, dedbol na ang Pinas.
Sa bagay dedbol na tayo ngayon, salamat kay Brumhilda ng Palasyo, ang PinakaPekeng presidente sa buong mundo.
to Vigilante Dinkame, pakikalat nga ng email ng Unicef. tapos lahat tayong pinoy denizens ng blogs mag-email. Express natin ang atin outrage para matauhan ang Unicef.
ella you are one brave girl.. sa ilang volunteers na nakapag-work sa dswd, ikaw lang ang naglabas ng ganito. galing.
this is so wrong. kelan ba naman aahon ang bansa natin kung pati sa systema ng pag distribute ng relief efforts ng local and international agencies hindi maayos. sana naman pagtuunan ng pansin ito ng gobyerno. ayusin ang systema at wag mag bulag-bulagan. hay, pambihira naman tlga..
Nakakapanggigil nga. Pero lalong nakakapanggigil yung reaksyon ng DSWD. http://ph.news.yahoo.com/abs/20091023/tph-dswd-cries-foul-over-online-allegati-85c5a6c.html
(haha gobyerno talaga! me calibrated release pang pinagsasabi e tapos na yung nangyaring delubyo! Baka me inaasahan pa ata silang darating? Uy grabe kayo ha!)
E pano kung wala ka ella? E hindi nalaman ang nangyayari. Saludo ako sa yo!
Look on the positive side, hindi kaya mga buffer stock ito na nakalaan para sa mga na-p-project na iba pang disaster, dami pang bagyo na parating na hindi mo alam baka sa visayas naman mapadpad. Ika nga nga mga strategist: “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”… Just my 2 cents..
kupal na gobyerno na yun! huwag na kayo mag bigay ng donations sa DSWD they can’t be trusted. Give yoour donations to NGO nalang mas nakakarating pa ng mabilis sa mga biktima at alam mo di ninakawan.
dapat ang bulukin sa kulungan ay si cabral at gloria arroyo!!!
kaya marami ang nag-aarmas at nagrerebolyusyon!!!!
bitayin ang mga ganid na kurakot!!!!!
kudos ella!!! ang ganda mo!!!

kudos ella!!! ang ganda mo!!!
Sana hindi totoo ang nangyayaring ito sa bodega ng DSWD. But one day observation is not enough to make years of service to the people of DSWD be one big negative issue agad… We should investigate more to know more… I know that a picture can say a thousand words, it can be both negative and positive. So let us not judge just by looking at the pictures… ABS-CBN and GMA… They all have the means to let every filipino people and even the world knows what they are doing… Media sila… Halur!!!! But the government doesn’t have one… Beside, kailangan ba talaga ipaalam sa buong mundo ang pagtulong? Helping other people is a noble endeavor. A humble act that knowing you’ve helped is a self satisfaction already.
Hindi na bago ang ganitong kalagayan.. sa dswd (lagi na lang) o kahit saan pa mang ahensya ng gobyerno (even sa LGUs, may paghohoard na nagaganap). Sa maagap na aksyon, nararapat na mag-utos agad si GMA ng pagbisita sa warehouses ng dswd para ma-dispose ang lahat ng nakatago doon. Para naman sa long term plan, dapat at palitan na ang bulok na bulok na sistema ng gobyernong ito. Hangga’t nananatiling nasa iilan ang kapangyarihan at namamayani ang matinding kurupsyon, habang-buhay na ang ganyang kaayusan (tulad sa dswd at iba pang ahensya ng gobyerno).
reposted on my FB. nakaka-kulot ng nuo. nakakahiya na masyado. nakakatakot namang isipin na pati “karma police” satin e nalalagyan na, at ang tagal singinlin and mga animal na tao sa gobyerno natin.
dear ella.
thank you very much for your informative blog. i have already posted a link on my fb account and hopefully your story will be heard by fellow netizens. grabe nakakainit ng ulo ang ginagawa ng gobyerno…palibhasa alam nila na may nga relief goods na dinidistribute from ABS, GMA and REDCROSS kaya yung sa kanila nakatambak lang. isang bagay lang naman ito..isa lang naman ang may pasimuno nito eh..shempre alam na natin kung sino. mahiya naman sana sila sa mga ordinaryong tao lang na katulad natin na nagkukumahog maka tulong sa mga nasalanta. I’m spreading the word. Damn DSWD and the other officials. I know strategy nila ito..mga kurakot to hell with you!
Grabe nabasa ko at nakita ko mismo malaking evidence..Ang kakapal ng mga muka nila..pati ba naman para sa mga nabiktima ng bagyo eh wala kayong pinipili talaga..ang kakapal..wala akong masabi kundi ang kakapal ng muka nilang mga kurakot! BUhay pa sila sinusunong na kaluluwa nila sa impiyerno! Ang kapal kapal!mahiya naman sila sa sarili nila…kapal ng apog!Di dahilan ang walang volunteers..Bulls_ _ _….
I salute you! It is not everyday that someone with enough proof can expose the incompetence and lackadaisical attitude of most, if not all government offices. It is hard to believe that the intentions of DSWD regarding the relief goods are to help the afflicted victims. I can understand their logic regarding their process and procedures, but I cannot understand why it takes them so long to implement this. Could there be an ulterior motive behind their inactions? If I were to base it on the pictures, I would say yes. It is about time the inefficiencies of some government agencies are exposed so the people are aware, not that it would prompt these agencies into action, but to let them know that people are on to them and the whole world is watching them as well. I hope that this will serve as a wake up call for all government agencies. Thank you and I wish you the best. Keep it up!
hi. i’m based in baguio.i work in dswd and our coverage is the whole Cordillera. i find it a bit sad to be seeing these messages but then again, i know it cant be helped. sa isang banda, if not for this, i will not be inclined to say the following:
i just want to share our experiences here. i laud my office mates. kase po we have been working 24 hours, 7 days a week. over and above our regular functions, we have been doing relief operations–from the monitoring of the goings-on in the various provinces in the Cordillera so that appropriate intervention can be provided, repacking of goods and delivering of these to areas affected by the typhoons. im sure a lot of us have heard about how tricky and difficult cordillera terrains are. on ordinary days, mahirap na puntahan ang mga lugar sa rehiyong ito– maraming areas where one barangay is several kilometers, mountains away from the next barangay. mas lalu na po ngayon matapos bayuhin ng bagyo. the social workers– hindi lamang po sa DSWD but even the LGU social workers, various groups / brigades under the PNP in the Cordillera, the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) and the whole AFP family in the region, the Army reservists, the whole Benguet State University (BSU) at yung iba pang tumutulong sa amin dito sa CAR na hindi ko na mabanggit dahil mahaba na, risk their lives para maabot lang po yung mga naapektuhan ng bagyo. a lot of areas were isolated because of so many slides but because time is of the essence, kahit pa make-shift yung daan, kelangang sulungin. kahit zero visibility, sige lang ang 6×6 truck ng gobyerno. at yun po ay may kasamang taga-dswd.
i am proud of my officemates kase since october 2, di na nahinto ang pagbubuhat, pagrerepack, pagtakbo ng goods kung saan-saang lupalop ng Cordillera (CAR). marami na pong nadisplace sa amin kase because of the need, kelangang ma-dispatch kung saan-saan. Napapagod, napupuyat, inisangtabi na ang sariling pamilya magampanan lang ang sinumpaang tungkulin bilang kawani ng pamahalaan. i have a widowed officemate whose house was submerged in water. she has one teenage daughter. they have not returned to their house because trauma ang anak. she chose to report to work kase madaming dapat gawin. wala nang 8-hour work. marami sa amin, uuwi ng 1 am tapos papasok ulit ng 6 AM. hindi po kasing-lawak ni miss ella ang aming network, pero may namomobilize pa rin po at doon, maraming salamat.
nakaka-overwhelm po ang laman ng dswd warehouse sa maynila kase madami. but in fairness to the central office, they dispatch goods to our region,which we in turn dispatch to the LGUs. at pro-active po kame. meaning, kahit walang bagyo, we assure that there are prepositioned in the various LGUs.
we do not have rotten goods in our local warehouses. all the goods that are intended to those affected by the typhoons are brought to the LGUs, endorsed to the local social welfare and development offices to ensure proper distribution.
sana po, wag tayong mag-generalize. at iwasan na lang magbitaw ng nakakasakit na salita. sabi nga ngisang nagleave ng message, lets spread love instead of hate. we in the dswd deserve the not so good words when all we do is work, and silently at that.
thank you po.
in my own little way, gumagawa ng paraan. pasensiya muna sa 6 & 2 year old kids ko na may special needs,iwan muna sa kasama sa bahay kase pati asawa ko, pinakisuyuan ko nang tumulung. Malaki na ang pasalamat namin that we were spared. gumawa i had to
kailan ba tayo makakakuha ng opisyal ng bayan ma talagang tutulong na may kasamang katapatan sa ating kapwa
mas maganda kung magkaisa mga tao at ipalipat nalang lahat ng laman ng warehouse nila sa REPUTABLE Foundation like GMA Kapuso Foundation and ABS-CBN Foundation..
mag kurakot ang hinayupak na nakaupo! para sa tao na tinatago pa! kaya ang pangit ng tingin sa atin ng ibang bansa dahil sa kagagawan ng mga iresponsableng pinuno ng gobyerno!
unfair para sa aming mga employees ng dswd ang mga comment nyo because we work hard pra mka2long den gnun p pla ung terms of appreciation nyo.u disrepect us

mga bwisit na namamahala ng dswd , dapat sa kanila matabunan ng mga kahon kahon na yan oh kaya sila ang dapat na nabiktima. pero pano nga naman sila ang mauuna don sa hantungan eh masahol pa sila sa buulok na daga. akalain mo daming taong nangangailangan ng tulong nakatambak lang yan sa bodega. dapat jan dalhin sa senado at ipalabas lahat yan at ibigay sa mga taong dapat pagbigyan.. ella i salute you for doing this. hanggang ngayon kumukulo ang dugo ko !!!
ang lufet ng DSWD… nakakatulog pa kaya yang mga yan sa gabi?
What a disheartening comments to hear from you about the image you now project to officials and staff of DSWD regarding relief goods being kept at the DSWD warehouse. Let it be known that this warehouse served as a national storage of relief goods intended to the whole country for augmentation to regions once a need is warranted. Hence at any given time there is an adequate stockpile ready for released immediately. With the big volume of goods you saw at the warehouse is a combination of local and international donations for typhoon Ondoy and pepeng in addition to stockpile being maintained thereat at all times. CAR region was one of those hardly hit by typhoon Pepeng and we received adequate relief goods from the national Office despite the danger posed to transport to the Cordlleras at the midst of the typhoon. We did maintained our own stockpile in the region but with the wide devastation our national office augmented as matter of policy. None so far had anybody mentioned here of the inadequacy of relief goods, because the Lgus , Ngos and NGAs had worked in partnership, coordinated places to serve inorder to cover all affected areas. At present the affected families manifested to work instead to be just given relief goods. and with the DSWD program on food for work then these families will receive goods while they do community work like clearing their muddy houses or roads , clearing debris etc.
The DSWD staff and officials worked 24/7 specially during disaster times and we continue to do this for our country men.
Sagot daw po ng DSWD: http://ph.news.yahoo.com/abs/20091023/tph-dswd-cries-foul-over-online-allegati-85c5a6c.html
Madami pa ring mga point na hindi nila napaliwanag.
Ms. Ella, ano po masasabi nyo sa reaction ng DSWD, na “reserve” daw yun for rehab?
hehehe….. iba talaga mentality ng pinoy pag imported….. dapat sa mga NGO na lang ipinadaan yung mga donations.
Anyway, hintay na lang tayo na si Gibo ang magbigay nyan next year. Babalik sa admin bet (Gibo) tung scandal sa DSWD, another negative points para sa admin.
kailangan talaga natin ang pinuno na walang utang na loob sa mga mayayaman na nananamantala! yung walang sponsor na kandidato! DSWD shame on you! hindi nyo ginagampanan ang trabaho nyo! bumaba na lang kayo dyan!
thank you ella! kungdi dahil sayo hindi sila kikilos… http://gangbadoy.multiply.com/journal/item/416/HOW_TO_HELP_OUR_DSWD._BREAKTHROUGH_
that was very embarassing what they did to the stuff.they just like a hungry “creatures”.they didnt think about humanity they just a piece of shellfish bastards!
shame on them for the future what will they do if the overseas donators will not give anymore because they are aware about this corruption and selfcentered politician and department of the government..in future who will help us in very worst calamities?
your a nice citizen ella…keep it up your good work…God bless you….

that relief goods were intended for the victims of the recent calamities that struck the country…when is the right time to give them if not now? sa mga nagsasabi na para sa projected future disaster iyan, use your common sense pls….
Sa ABS-CBN at GMA nalang kasi tayo dapat para maiwasan ang mga ganire…
grabehh, lps let anyone know the dispointed situation..Ö

thank you for the info
they say when disaster hits, mahirap and mayaman pantay pantay, talaga lang ha. This reminded me of my HS days, many years ago, I came from one of the biggest catholic school in the country, said school runs an annual fund drive for the poor w/c they distribute during December, I was one of the few allowed volunteers doing the packing in preparation for distribution, imagine to my surprise, one of the nuns running this school informed us to segregate the imported items from the local and not include them in the package for the poor, said imported items went direct to their convent and add to that a few sacks of rice as well. If nuns could do that, how much more could our damn DSWD. My advice, if you plan to donate stuffs, course it thru ABS CBN or GMA, they may vie for exposure but the items get distributed.
Grabe palang kalokohan ito. Ang dami pang pilipinong hindi nabibiyayaan… Kawawa naman sila. Sana masilip na ito ng media para lahat ng tao ay mag volunteer sa pag distribute nyan.
Magising naman sana ang mga kinauukulan…Dios por santo…
from twitter of ANCALERTS:
(Q:The goods featured in the blog have been distributed as we speak?) Sec. Cabral: Yes.
ang bilis naman?!? na-document ba nila yun from the packing to the distribution? dapat may ibang ahensya or private entity nag-au-audit sa kanila.
anyway, go ella! good job!
My God! These donations should go to the people ASAP!
Eh halata namang KUKURAKUTIN YAN NG GOBYERNO EH!
Nakaka high blood ha!!!!
Will spread the word!
The burden of proof is always with the accuser and not the accused. Mali ka nanaman.
Tae naman.. baka naman pipili pa sila bago ipamigay.. nasalanta din ata sila ng kalokohan.. maawa kayo sa mga mamamayang nangangailangan.. ibigay ang dapat ibigay.. hindi inyo yan.. para sa taong bayan yan.. maawa kayo sa mga dapat makinabang nya.. wag maging makasarili.. sayang dahil kayong mga itinalaga.. MGA WALA KAYONG KWENTA.. tnx Ella..
Nauto naman kayong lahat na sumusuporta kay Ella. Hay, Ella kay ganda. Nasaan ka na? Ipinagmmaalaki no na may alam ka tungkol sa mga gawain diyan sa DSWD. Sino ba ang nakausap mo? Sino ang source mo? Kung maniniwala ako sa iyo dapat may ipapakita sa akin na tunay! Pakita mo nga ang ganda mo Ella para naman may boses ang nagsusulat ng blog na ito. Gumawa ka ng gulo at kailangan mong harapin ang parating sa iyo. Sa tingin mo hindi na nila alam kung sino ka? O, wag mo i-delete to ha? May proof ako na sinulat ko to. Hindi katulad mo.
Ma’am Ella, mayroon akong isang tulang sinulat ko noong ika-27 ng Setyembre.
*start of poem*
The Raging Tempest Called Ondoy
by Mark Kevin Limkinglam aka “MKDL Studios”
12 syllables, 6 stanzas
It happened on the twenty-sixth of September
A tragic and sorrowful day to remember
The year is the ninth of the third millenium
Where a storm have brought us into a conundrum
The tempest named Ondoy rushed into the cities
Even the country’s biggest universities
It struck the realms with heavy rains and lightning blasts
Passenger ships had to abandon their own masts
Vicious, massive floods had reached as high as ten feet
Shelters were set up for the refugees to meet
Many had climbed to the roofs of their ravaged homes
Rescue fleets have rushed to the aid like garden gnomes
Scores and scores of my countrymen had been perished
Automobiles, trees, and buildings have all blemished
The rainfall was gauged as the worst in our times
Major roads and highways had played their warning chimes
Tens of thousands of my fellowmen were displaced
Waiting for their broken shelters to be replaced
The country’s bar exams were shifted to the fourth
Of October, as declared by the Supreme Court
Ondoy’s day is a day we will never forget
Even though we have lost the loved ones we have met
Whether living in the plains or on a mountain range
Are we going to blame all this on climate change?
*end of poem*
DSWD should have been more competent. They should have responded immediately!
Hi Ella, I’m Norman P. Aquino from GMA Network. I would like to seek permission to use your photos for a story we are doing on the topic. You may contact me at zero nine one eight nine zero four five eight three five. We’re planning to air the story in a few hours. Thank you.
tarantado talaga tong mga to, baka ipapamigay nila sa eleksyon, i bet meron na silang mga imported goods sa bahay nila. nakakakulo ng dugo ang corruption! salamat at may mga mata at mga taong katulad mo na handang magbunyag nito.
ella, salamat sa pag-eexpose nito…hope this will encourage others to do what you just did…
sa lahat ng kawani ng gobyerno, matauhan sana sila…at sana naman eh kumilos na lang sila at huwag nang mag-aksaya ng panahong magcounter attack pa, eh kitang kita naman ang anomalya nila…nakakabuwisit talaga…
Hayyy…we are all aware what “nabubulok” is , napakaliteral namang ng mga media dito sa atin. ..bakit meh nagpadala ba ng Ice Cream ?? Hehehehe. Well, hindi na bago yan, and now it’s wide open for “everyone” and “everywhere” to see the kind of Government we have here…sensational din hehehe sensational sa corrupt! Oh well, peeps let’s hope na lang ma-karma yang mga yan hehehehe.
taNG iNa kaung mga taga-dswd kau lalo na ikw dswd secretary CABRAL! hindi sa iNyo yan, mga hinayupak kau! sa mga kababayan natin yan! dami dami pang nangangailangan nyan! NAKAKAHIYA KAYO! MAHIYA NAMAN KAYO SA BALAT NYO!
ELLA! SALAMAT SAU! KUNG HINDI DAHIL SA EXPOSE MO, DI MALALAMAN NG NGA KABABAYAN NATIN ANG MGA KALOKOHANG GINAGAWA NILA! GOOD JOB GIRL!!
I have a hunch that these relief goods will be used by the incumbents for the coming election. I hope not.
Well, well. So much for freedom of speech! I’ve just been censored. And I have proof. You have pictures, and I have mine. Let everyone decide for themselves if you are indeed a bastion of truth.
Hi Ate Ella,
Salamat sa info, at sa bravery mo
naka disappoint naman ang taga DSWD nakakahiya
sa mga tumutulong, hindi lang local pati international
nagmakaawa pa ang gobyerno tapos ito lang pala kalalabasan
ikinalat ko ito sa mga emails sana ok lang
e post ko din ito sa kung saan pwede para mabigyan nang pansin
this current gobyerno is full of crocs ….. kahit anong klaseng calamity event nandyan ung pagka kurakot.
TAMAAN SANA SILA NG KILAT (kidlat)….
kakaasar; dito samin nung lubog pa town namin maaawa ka sa mga taong di nabibigyan tapos andiyan lang pala ang daming di napamimigay
Biglang nagkaroon ng movement sa warehouse, syempre kumpleto ng media coverage. Isa na namang illusion para ipakita sa tao na hindi totoo ang nasabi dito. May imbestigasyon pa para malaman kung totoo daw nag-volunteer si Ella. As usual iwas pusoy na lang sila, pumutok na eh.
Dapat may managot dito!!! Simulan sa itaas, hingin ang ulo ng “Butihing Kalihim”. ‘Wag na hintayin mag-resign at baka tumakbo pang senador ‘yan. Di uso delicadeza sa mga halang ang bituka.
Sa mga kawani ng DSWD, ‘wag kayo pumayag na mahaluan kayo ng BULOK!!!
I post your link sa forum ng sulit.com.ph
para maikalat at mabigyang pansin
sana ok lang nakaalarma ang balitang ito
dapat may gagawin tayo.
wow magtatayo ata ng tindahan ah?? o baka gagawin ukay ukay??? sari sari store?? taena namatayan kami dahil kay ondoy! namatay uncle ko kasi walang kumot !!! nasira bahay ng tita ko!!! anung klase ba mga taong ito??!!!! nagpapakahirap ang mga taong ito para mangurakot!! baka naman wala na sila stock sa bahay nila??? takte tayo na nga tinutulungan ng ibang bansa tapos ganto pa gagawin??tama! diretso sa dswd ang mga donation!! para gamitin ng ibang tao sa kanilang kampanya!!! di aku boboto ng alam kong kurakot!!! sana kung itong blog e umabot sa media e sana kulitin nila itong mga nasa katungkulan para mapahiya!!! o para kumilos mga walang kwentang ahensya buwagin!!!!! mga walang kwentang empleyado sibakin!!! yan dapat!!!
grabe, I was so disappointed with the government. (as always) pati ba naman mga taong sobrang nasalanta na dudugasin pa nila? mga wala na talagang puso. pag sila ang nasalanta mararamdaman din nila ang mga dinadanas ng mga kababayan natin.
why i can’t see the picture, can you please send to my e-mail. we cannot access facebook here in china. so that we can spread this thing sa kasama natin dito..
salamat
Hi Ella. I agree with many people here that goods donated for relief should be distributed as they come in. I do not believe that those who are hungry or sick should have to wait, because there might be another disaster and our government is caught flat-footed. In my first comment here I mentioned giving Sec. Cabral the benefit of the doubt. But now that Typhoon Ramil has passed I don’t believe there is any reason for any further delay. Another point I wish to raise is that it is Ms. GANG BADOY who started the private sector call for volunteers. Not the DSWD. I still have not seen any TV news item or advisory where the DSWD is publicly asking for volunteers. All I see is a press release that is mostly damage control. Yes, at a certain point we have to act as much as we criticize, but the DSWD has to act first because IT HAS A JOB TO DO. Salamat, Ella.
grabe nmn tlga ang kurakot stin..biktima na nga eh nabibiktima pa uli..kaya walang nangyayari tlga s pinas eh panu mga opisyal mismo eh kurakot…d nman nila madadala s hukay yang kayamanan nila..Sna MAKONSYENSYA sila s mga pinaggagawa nila..alala ko napanuod ko s tv patrol ata yun..dami gusto mag volunteer sa sobrang dami sinabi na nung reporter na tumwag muna bago pumunta kc sobrang dami na daw ng gusto mag volunteer..kya panu nya idadahilan na walng VOLUNTEER..KPAL tlga nila…ipamigay nyo na yan sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo….MAAWA nmn kau s knila…
hi ella, thanks for sharing what you observed. there’s a dswd explanation in the news in reponse to your blog , in my opinion, that came out really lame. it does not answer the inefficiences pointed out in your blog. dswd/sec cabral gotta do way better than this.
will spread the word in Pittsburgh, PA! and everywhere
Thanks Ella, good job.
mabuti at may mga taong matatapang na tulad mo, saludo ako sayo! salamat sa pagkakalat mo nito, tama lang na malaman ng mga pinoy ang mga ginagawa ng gobyerno..
what’s wrong sa post nya??? wala akong nkitang mali sa blog nya n to, dapat lang ung gnwa nya pra nman tubuan ng khi2yan yang mga taong nasa gobyerno n yan!!! sa dmi ng nanga2ilang kung tu2usin kulang p yang nasa warehouse nila kung ipmi2gay nila yan!!! dpat ndi n s knila binibigay yan sa kpuso foundation or sa kapamilya nlng at least sure k n nk2rating d tulad sa ahensya ng gobyerno… if i know m knya2 kupit n mga empleyado nyan, nku mga government officials ndi man kau lhat corrupt pero krmihan sa inyo! wag kaung tumanggi at bka mgsihaba ang mga ilong nyo!!!! no wonder kung bkit lugmok prin sa khirapan ang pilipinas!!!
Grabe naging reaksyon ng gobyerno (DSWD) pero sabi mo nga let the pictures do the talking and we say let our experience from this administration do the explaining. You’re right with your observation na tila walang imported goods na kasama sa mga ipinamimigay.
Kung meron mang kabutihan nagawa ang post mo, iyon ay ang pag-gising sa isang departamento na siyang dapat nangunguna sa pagtulong.
According to the latest news, mukhang nagising na sila, kahit me halong paninisi at patutsada. Well its just their defence mechanism. We pray na sana tuloy tuloy na ito (relief giving) at baka sakaling maibigay na yung mga “imported” na tulong sa ating mga kababayang nasalanta.
bk8 di pah ngah idistribute yan? qng 22usin, its olmos a month since dumating si ondoy and pepeng after,.. imagine, dpt ixang sako, laman lht ng kinds of goods na naidon8, ndi ung pinipili,.. imagin, ders stuff toys nah 4 xur, 4 kids,.. “imported” man or local, it doesn’t matter,.. my medicines pah ngah atah, imagine, magagam8 yan zah mga my xak8,.. anoung gagawin nila jan? ibebenta? bti d cla tinatanong ng mga nagdonate qng xan nla dinadala or dadalhin yang mga yan,..

“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. ” —– hello hindi naman nila trabaho na ihatid kayo sa kung san man kayo pupunta! kaya nga kayo volunteer e..volunteer nyo pumunta dun at tumulong hindi nila problema kung paano ka uuwi
tinaguriang pa namang DSWD nakakahiya !maawa naman sana cla sa mga nangangailangan !
Wow…grabe sila pang x’mas gift siguro ito para sa mga VIP na mga buwaya sa malacañang!!!
May karma din sila! What can you expect from them after this expose? well obviously denial lang naman or operation defense mechanism sila.
May magnanakaw bang nagsasabi ng totoo? *sighs
Btw I have a follow up question? How about cash donations? What happened to the money of other countries?
I hope di ito magamit for 2010 election. *another sighs.
salamat ella sa mga expose mo, nka2lungkot isipin na ang institution ng gobyerno, na pinagkakatiwalaan ng sambayanang pilipino, ay hindi na rin pala pweding pgkatiwalaan. Bumalik sa aking ala-ala ang nkaraan, noong dekada 90’s, ng pumutok ang mt. pinatubo sa probinsya ng zambales. hanggang ngayon kasi palaisipan sa akin, kung saan npunta ang mga relief goods na galing sa w.h.o. at u.n. at iba pang donasyon ng mga foreign countries. ni isa kasi wala man lang nkatikim ng imported goods na donasyon sa aming probinsya, my dumarating n relief goods pero kraniwan mga local products lang, gaya ng hakata at ligo sardines, at mga noodles. Tanong ko saan kya dinala ung mga imported goods na mga donasyon? Ni isa kasi sa mga kaba2yan ko wala man lang ntangap ng ganong klase, khit ang mga ktu2bong aeta ndi nkatangap o nkatikim ng imported n relief goods! dahil sa expo’se ni ella ay ngkaroon n rin ng ksagutan ang mtagal ko nang ktanungan… tlaga atang wla na tyong pweding pgkatiwalaan s khit anong ahensya ng ating gobyerno! hayyy!!
tsk, tsk, tsk, tlaga atang pabrika ng mandurugas ang mga ahensya ng ating gobyerno, ang akala mo n ahensya n may puso, wla rin pala… kainis…
mga kumag kyo!! donasyon n nga mga yan! du2gasin nyo pa! mga buwaya!!!
i really liked your”expose”..it takes guts to do what you did..marami pipz would not agree with you or crucify you..pero thats not what this blog is all about..its about what needs to be done. hope some politician will coordinate with you to do something, anything! to stop this “pananamantala” na naman.. i saw those pictures and read your blogs..i have this gut feeling na pagkakaperahan na naman yun ng mga nasa DSWD..and please wag na mag react yung mga beaureucrats na nag volunteer dun or just volunteers lang talaga..it’s not about them.its about those pipz sa “taas” ng DSWD.those who makes self-serving policies..those who decides and thinks they are “doing their jobs”. “worst things happens even with the best intentions”
bakit ba nghi2nayang kyo pmigay mga yan? ndi nman pra s inyo yan! pra s mga nsalanta yan! mga ganid!! nka2 high blood kyo!! dpat s inyo kainin ng lupa!!… wish ko lang…
madam president.. wag nyo po sna ipagwlang bhala bgay na ito. pls.. pki imbistigahan lng po.
pilit nila2pit ng ating pangulo ang gobyerno s ma2yan.. pero ano gnagawa nio? mkonsensya nman kyo!
OMG, as in sobrang nakakahiya!
Hi, kami po sina Rina, Nila, Christine, and Mean, employees from the DSWD Cordillera. We are currently having our disaster duty. Sa DSWD, proactive po kame sa aming disaster operations, kahit wala na si ramil continous pa rin kame sa pagmonitor at pagrespond sa mga pangangailangan ng mga nasalanta ng bagyong nagdaan. Wala kaming overtime pay. We even left our children at home just to serve. Si Nila, mukhang magkakasakit pa yata, pero dahil nga sa maraming gawain at time is of the essence, kelangan mag duty. It’s purely the essence of relentless sacrifice and volunteerism. Hindi po kami nagbubuhat ng sariling bangko. With this, we expressed extreme sadness by your blog. We saw it as irresponsible and misguiding. It is also perceptively biased, sans, destructive. Kahapon, nasa Benguet State University (BSU), La Trinidad, Benguet kame, in one of our warehouses packing relief goods. Ilang trucks ang mabilisang dinidispatch galing sa aming Central Office warehouse (kung saan ka siguro nagvolunteer ng kalahating araw lang) at dinadala dito. We were with a multitude of volunteers composed of the PNP, ARMY, NGOs and students. Kinaya ng team namin mag repack ng 1,500 bags. Bakit sa yo ay 150 lang. Naisip namen na hindi yata pag volunteer ang pinasukan mo kundi manguha ng litrato para lokohin ang madlang pipol. Isa pa, may volunteer bang nagpapahatid. Kung volunteer ka, e di maglakad ka. Ang gasolina po ay nakalaan para sa pangangailangan ng programa, at hindi para sa volunteer. Assessing your blog, we felt that you were not really intent on volunteering at feeling pa namen, malicious siya. Para bang nagpunta ka lang doon para manguha ng litrato, siraan ang pinuno namin, kasama ang buong departamento at mga kawani nito na taos pusong naglilingkod sa sambayanan. Napaka unfair naman. Hindi mo ba naisip ang consequences ng ginawa mo. Dahil lang ba nung nagvolunteer ka ay kokonti lang ang tao at maraming goods sa warehouse ay nag assume ka na. Hindi mo ba naisip na may mga procedures at policies tayo to contend with, otherwise kung alang sistema, chaotic ang magiging kalalabasan. Hindi ka ba natatakot sa karma. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. Lastly, we have always been proud to be part of the DSWD, which remains No. 1 in the fight against corruption. Huwag niyo pong sirain ang aming pinagpaguran. Salamat po!
khit ano cguro pliwanag ng dswd, ndi nla mpagta2kpan ito…. kung my nti2ra p respeto ang mga taong ito s knilang srili, dpat mgresign n cla, now n….
BAYAAN MO NA SILA (NAGKOKOMENT SA Y NG DI MAGANDA). MARAMI KASI SA KANILA, NATATAKOT NA MANIWALA ANG MGA TAONG BAYAN KASI SIRA NA ANG CREDIBILITY NG GOBYERNO NGAYON. NATATKOT DIN SILA NA YUNG NATITIRANG NAGBIBIGAY PARA MAPABANGO PANGALAN NILA E BAKA MAGBACK-OOUT PA. I BELIEVE IF DI MO YAN NAILAGAY SA BLOG KO E DI DIN NILA DADALIAN ANG AKSYON TO DISPOSE THE DONATIONS.
DATI NA RING GAWAIN YAN…ANG KARNE NORTE FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES, PINAPALITAN NG SARDINAS NA MUMURAHIN. ANG MGA IMPORTED BLANKETS, PAPALITAN NG UKAY-UKAY NA LOKAL.
PAGBIGYAN NA LANG NATIN SILA UNTIL BEFORE ELECTION KASI DI NA YAN MAKAKATUNGTONG SA MATAAS-TAAS NA POSISYON. ALAM KONG MAGBABAGO RIN TAKBO NG BULOK NA GOBYERNONG ITO KUNG MAGKAKAISA TAYONG LAHAT NA IBOTO ANG MGA TAONG MATITINO. GOOD LUCK SA IYO AND DON’T WORRY, WE ARE BEHIND YOU!!
When I discovered your blog from facebook yesterday afternoon I did not waste any time and I quickly re-posted it for everyone to see. Those goods might never live to see their fate in due time if not for your sense of bravery in revealing what you’ve just witnessed out there(yan tuloy na-televise ka!). In saying this I do agree with your use of “nabubuloK” to describe the unbelievable mass of goods in that warehouse with only one guard and one DSWD staff in sight. Unbelievable.
[Isn’t it ironic, dont cha think?]
I myself organised a relief drive here in Sydney among friends (even random strangers) and cannot wait for the 5 balik bayan boxes that’s here sitting in my house to get there. I remember someone telling from Manila that they wanted to do a cook-up, but they didn’t have big pots to actually do it (or the food to say the least). How ironic to see those stacks of pots and boxes of sardines sitting like fixtures or art installations (oo nga ano? para kayong nag art tour) as if they were there only for your eyes to see.
[Walang volunteers?]
This perhaps is one of the two important highlights in the story (first are the masses of relief goods in the warehouse). Had DSWD announced and advertised through the media that they needed volunteers then they would’ve found what they were looking for. They do have the means, don’ they? If not(which is highly unlikely considering the millions of dollars donated by other countries) isn’t it time that they twit, open a facebook account or join the world of blogging? I’m sure they will reach thousands of Pinoys who can even spread the word for them, it will be a snowball effect for sure. The person responsible for the content of DSWD’s website should seriously consider this especially that they are reliant on volunteers…tsk,tsk,tsk. More effectively, gather up the NGOs, church groups, schools and universities and ask them for help as it had been earlier suggested by another commentor. The failure to disclose to the public the real situation of why DSWD haven’t been able to put things into operation as quickly as they should is obvious incompetence on the part of whoever is or are directly responsible for the distribution of the goods. More over, you can really see here that the responsible authority/ies of DSWD did not feel the “real” sense of urgency in mobilizing these goods in a timely and efficient manner. Oh but of course, why should they? The public doesn’t know these stuff exist! So easy to slack off! Otherwise, if there was a genuine sense of pressing importance, choppers would’ve been deployed by the droves to distribute goods in unreachable places had they reassessed the real situation. Well, that’s another topic worth pursuing don’t you think? Where are the military choppers? it’s not like they’re in Iraq or Afghanistan, right? I’m from the mountains myself and I know how mudslides impede movement and how dangerous it is. I’m pretty sure the military will jump into action had they been informed of this particular need.
[In fairness!!!]
I think nobody here is saying that the DSWD local employees are at fault but what we’re saying is this snail-paced service would’ve been prevented had the higher authorities seriously assessed the degree of the effect of the calamity or better yet had an effective system in place that would’ve allowed them to move hastily (AKA doing their job!). These big bosses should be grateful that they haven’t been issued their walking papers yet. This is another reason why people feel they are being driven up the wall. Lastly, in fairness to the hard working DSWD employees who are at the opposite end of the spectrum, you have my full respect. God bless you.
Anyway, enough of my ranting. I do hope that those goods will quickly be given to those victims who need them, thanks to Ella. …”All publicity is good, except an obituary notice.” (Brendan Behan).

naku!!!! nagbalot pa naman kami (FILIPONOS IN EDMONTON, CANADA) umabot ng 280 boxes full of clothes, canned goods, shoes, etc.. baka dito din lang mapunta….. pakigising po si DSWD SEC. ESPERANZA KAPAL este CABRAL…..
Me reason kaya di pinamimigay me commercial value yung mga donation hindi mukhang relief goods- pwedeng pagkakakitaan!
Kaya nadelay ang distribution nag-iisip pa at maaring naghihinayang na ipamigay lang ng walang kapalit ang mga commercial items na donation! Marahil ganun na nga, sa ganang akin hindi ka magpapatumpik-tumpik pang ipamigay yan kung hindi mo pinag-iisipan pagkakitaan pa yan- ganyan kabuwaya ang administrasyong ito para maintindihan ninyo!
GO ELLA GO! I love you! I will reblog you!

Magnanakaw talaga nang abuloy yan si Gloria, yung victims nang Princess of the stars nakakuha sila nang more than $100,000K cash nung namasyal sila sa US ayun walang umabot sa victims , saka kita naman natin kung paano nila ninakaw yung 800M sa kapapasyal nila, sana wag na makabalik si daga, ma stuck na sana doon sa ASEAN halang ang kaluluwa niyan.
Hi Ella,
I’m here in Dubai… nalaman ko ang blog mo nang ibalita sa ABS CBN kaya bigla ko search ang blog mo sa internet kaya nabasa at nakita ko pics…
Sobrang nakaka disappoint talaga ang gov’t… bulok ! Di bale, naniniwala ako sa karma.
Be brave… God is with you and me too!
Maraming taong nahihirapan, totoo at knumpirma na ng DSWD ang warehouse ay kanila. Kasabihan nga. Kung sino ang humahawak ng kaldero ang syang unang mabubusog? Ano sa palagay nyo? hndi ba tama din ang sinabi nila na magtitira sila pra sa rehabilitation ng mga tao at mga reserves ang mga goods? pero bakit hindi nila maipaliwanag kung bakit ganon lang ang laman ng kanilang mga ipinamimigay? kaya sisikat ang Blog Ni Ella dahil guilty sila sa mga kagagawan nila, kami ay volunteer ng Red Cross dati, alam namin na lahat ng mga nakukuha nila ay nappunta sa mga tao dahil nakkta namin na kung ano ang dumating un ang i nire repack, Bravo, mabuti pa sila, ang gobyerno natin ahensya pa mandin ng Department of Social Welfare and Development hindi alam na ngayon kailangan ng mga tao ng tulong, ang gusto nilang mangyari itago muna pra sa rehabilitation KUNO! ang sasama ninyo! paano pa kayo makkakapag rehabiilitate KUNG PATAY NA un mga TAO? simpleng common sense. Nagtatabi kayo ngayon dahil ayaw ninyong masilip ng taumbayan ng MGA ANDOON SA WAREHOUSE dahil sabi ninyo FOR SECURITY PURPOSES, bawal mag kuha ng picture! hmmm… ok tama pala mga sinabi nyo. Sorry ha tao lang - mahirap manghusga- pero kahit ano pa ang gwin ninyo kayo may sweldo mga volunteers wla- papakainin nyo lang sila ng meryenda ok na, pero baka pati pang miryenda ayw nyo magbigay- baka mabawasan yata ang mga limpak ninyo. ahem! akala namin DSWD malinis- ngayon lumilitaw na parang may prblema yata sa ahensya ninyo– when it pours it rains and time to save! ika nyo nga. OK , thank you sa mga nag dodonate - kung pwede paki address na lang sa RED CROSS or sa ABS-CBN at GMA 7 ung mga donations please, mas transparent pa sila kaysa siguro sa DSWD. Salamat pa din sa effort na mgpaliwanag. At least nabawasan kahit na konti ung inis namin. Pero ewan ko lang kung makumbinsi ninyo ang taumbayan na hindi kayo corrupt! Salamat Ella! Strong ka ha pero baka makasuhan ka ng libel nyan, mahirap kalabanin ang gobyerno alam mo naman.. Ingat at dahan dahan sa pagtira, hehe prang ako hindi no? Baka kasi bigla kang makasuhan, alam mo na.
Dati ang sagot lang sa inyo ay “walang volunteers”.
Well, now that you have photos, a write up, and a blog that is going viral btw, we hear from the top Woman of DSWD herself! Yan lang pala ang kailangan, ano? A form of expose. Bakit baga ganyan ang ating mga appointed appointees?
Actions speak louder than words.
They can lambast, threaten, ridicule, and pull their collective hairs out, but none of that can/will explain why your group was asked to pack only local bare necessities, when tons of relief goods from our international neighbors remain in the warehouse. Are there flood victims more “worthy” to receive the imported goods than others? Their replies only generate more questions than answers.
Mabuhay ang Dee-es-dabalyoo-di!
Looking at the consequence of this blog, two things come to mind. if this is a fact, good for the blogger and nice going!! If this is bogus, lack of responsible investigation and nothing else. Just imagine what the international community will think about the Philippines. Sometimes I wonder how some pinoys really love our country - talk the talk lang ba tayo o walk the walk din.
pati ba naman yan kinukurakot pa..
ang tindi..
I guess this is as good a place as any tolet you know. I tried to subscribe to your RSS feed, but when i clicked it I got an error that said “Parse error: syntax error, followed by other gibberish that scrolled off the screen. I had to force the page to stop loading because it locked up my browser. Just an FYI.
I will be reposting this on my blog http://eleksyon.co.cc to help spread the news.
Thank you for letting people know about this.
i saw the news on yahoo so aware na din ang ilan sa mga kababayan natin, sana lang ay gawan na talaga nila ng action, wag na yung papetiks petiks pa sila sa kung sino magvo- volunteer, for sure echos lang nila yun…!!
Do you mind to re-post this on my blog? Let’s spread the word.
Sobrang sama naman ng ginagawa nila. Ang dami nang namamatay at naghihirap at hinahayaan lang ng mga PUTANG INANG mga taga DSWD ang mga tao! Department of SOCIAL WELFARE and DEVELOPMENT pa naman kung tinuring! Asan na ang WELFARE? Walang DEVELOPMENT na nangyayari! PUTANG INA niyo! Mahiya naman kayo! Ano yan? Inaantay niyo pang dumating ang eleksyon para ipamigay yan? Para mabango mga kili-kili niyo ngayong eleksyon?! Mahiya kayong mga hayop kayo! Hindi yan sa inyo, FYI lang! Para po yan sa mga TAO! Sa mga taong naghihirap at nahihirapan na dahil sa kaKUPALAN niyong DSWD kayo!
your plight of awakening the DSWD is good for what you have observed, and, indeed, it had answered by their dept. head in the above comments.
however, it is also very alarming to point out an imbalanced and incomplete investigation just to prove your point. i think it should have been thoroughly and rigidly studied their incompetence before we make our final judgement and do the thing that it needed to be done in proper perspective.
it would have been better if this had been observed in a series of days, and even to their drop off points where this goods was dispel. if it had dispel to the right victims and not in our mere speculative minds.
at the hight of this calamity that we have experience and will be experiencing in the next days to come, it is not possible that felt devastated especially when we see things are not done by people that we expect to do their job beyond our standards and the standards of other great nations.
maganda ang layunin mo ms. ella, kaso hindi natin mauusad at mapaparusahan ang mga dapat parusahan kung kulang ang imbestigasyon. mawawala lang ng saysay ang boses natin habang sila ay nananatili sa kanikanilang position.
nakakalungkot isipin, pero, ganito nalamang ang nangyayari sa bansa natin. marami tayong gustong ireklamo na mga taong hindi ginagampanan ang kanilang tungkulin, pero hindi natin mausad-usad at mapatalsik dahil kulang naman tayo ng matibay na ibedensya, kaya lagi na lamang silang nakakalusot.
Haaay…. The relief goods that has been distributed to typhoon victims are not enough. There are many families with many children who needs those goods. We eat at least three times a week. I’m sure kulang na kulang pa yung binibigay ng DSWD. Talagang sinasadya lang na i-delay ng ibang corrupt officials para mabenta nila yun in the future. Grabe uy, karma nalang for those who have bad intentions.
I agree with ana(post 274), karma will happen to those who keep keeping those good for the victims. I hope they understand how the victims are feeling right now.
More investigation should be implemented at this warehouse and see where the good are going and how long they are keeping them before they deliver it.
I have reposted this on my blog. http://fluppybunny.com
gud job ella! hlata nga milagrosa sec. dswd n yn, mgccnungaling p & bkit ayaw n ipakita sa media ang loob ng warehouse? ngutos n yta ung bossing n reyna ng mga MAGNANAKAW!!!!
Ella,
Please also look into this: after Ondoy, the Phil Amb to NZ released info to direct all monetary donations to DSWD. Sabi nila no one else (private or public offices) are allowed to collect donations, not even the ambassador. Moneys collected should be depositted to an account c/o I-Remit who will issue receipts…
It really sounded funny to me that they should release this info, since Caritas and Red Cross have been known to collect donations and distribute these to their branches all over the world including Manila. Phil govt have no control over these international organizations.
So who will do the accounting and the audit of the moneys from these donations?
Forgot to say, this was a directive from Pres Arroyo.
they can sell it and use the money in upcoming election or bribe it to voters, nice move by administration … satan will welcome all greedy people to hell
Isa lang masasabi ko. Nakakahiya ang gobyerno. Sakim sa lahat ng bagay. Good job ella for exposing this stuff. Kaya maraming nagpapatayan makapasok lang sa position sa gobyerno dahil sa mga ganyang pagkakataon. DSWD secretary Cabral, hindi elementary and mga tao para maniwala sa mga paliwanag mong pang-kinder!!! Nakakapanginig ka ng laman!!!! >:x
Hi Ella.talgang superbagyo ang sinunod mo kay Bagyong Ondoy Grabeeeeeeee!!!Kung totoo man ito o hindi magpasalamat pa rin ako sau Ella kasi walang issue na lalabas kung walang magpalabas..DSWD
Salamat sapag labas mo ng issues na ito Ella.DSWD officials maari po ba na ipadala nyo na po and mga donations NOW para sa mga biktima ng bagyong Ondoy.Mam,Sir (DSWD), Yung mga donations po ba na nakatambak sa warehouse po ng DSWD kailan po ba pinadala ng mga donor and good?noon pa po bang 2008?Or pagdating ng bagyong ONDOY?sokung 2008 pinadala sige wag nyop ilabas yan kasi pang rehab…Pero kung dumating po yang mga donations sa pagdating ni ONDOY ILABASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS nyo ipamigay nyo po kasi that donations are intended for the the ONDOY Victims.Ang Cash na donation meron po ba?Suggestion lang po kung may cash donation po kayng natanggap.Ano po kaya na mag join kayo ng ABS-CBN,GMA,at iba pang network NGO’S,lahat ng mga foundations at lahat ng mga agencies na nakatanggap ng cash donation ano po kaya Suggestions lang po .Gather all the money that you recieve from donors ibili nyo po ng lupa ang mga biktima kasi milyones na po ang mga reports ng cash donations so baka pwede po ninyo ibili na lupa nag mga nawalan ng bahay.Pero wag nyo silang pabayarin …kasi pera ng donation po yan…Suggestion lang po.
Mam Ella salamat sa space.God bless
Kudos for an excellent job Ella, I am hoping that the negative comments coming from deluded “RACKET SAYANGTIST” will encourage and strengthen your resolve on continuing your vigilance.
To those who are not appreciative of the observation, bear in mind that when La Gloria de Napoleona y Le Cirque issued a directive that has the effect of the international donations being coursed thru DSWD with it also comes responsibility, accountability and most importantly transparency to be observed diligently.
Kind hearted ELLA,
I was not surprise sa nadiscover mo. Mabuti at may photos ka na maski sila magdeny you have the proof. Nagtratrabaho naman talaga ang DSWD pero unlike sa mga TV networks nakikita natin ang distribution nang goods and everything is open to everybody. Sila sa DSWD tago sa warehouse. Sana man lang ipakita nila yung mga imported goods distributed sa relief areas.
We did a little share of feeding sa may Kapitolyo, Pasig and I asked one DSWD -CEO nasaan ang million, million dollars na donation. That money alone can start rehabilitation by building new houses. Look at Katrina disaster di ba bahay ang mga tinayo, sa Tsunami stricken area sa Indonesia, nagpatayo rin nang mga bahay. Ang sagot nang DSWD worker, hindi nila alam kasi national daw ang may hawak and they are just local.
In fairness these DSWD workers (a group of 5) lagi nanduon, merong din workers na taga linis, security but they are under the city of Pasig.
Still kaawaawa pa rin yung mga tao duon kasi paalisin nasila and they have no place to go. Marami pumupunta duon na private donors like us. We informed the DSWD sa ULTRA, register muna and we are allowed to distribute and give what we want directly to the victims.
Going back as you have said nakatambak ang goods. Maski nga sa Ultra na marami nang naibinibigay sa victims meron pa rin tents duon na punong puno nang sako sakong old clothes and blankets.
I believe kulang sa volunteers but all they need to say is HELP at siguradong dudumugin sila nang mga tao.
Our hearts knows the truth but what can we do but blog and talk. Kailangan sana merong maypuso na MEDIA at ariin na kapamilya ang mga victims at sya o sila ang magexpose, himayin at tignan kung saan napupunta ang mga imported relief goods. Yung local relief lang ang nakikita sa media. PLEASE ABS-CBN, GMA please magkaisa kayo, no network politics for now at hanapan nyo nang paraan na ayusin nang DSWD ang pagbabahagi nang goods. Your networks have the volunteers maybe DSWD should turn the distribution to you guys. Please do something.
I salute Ella for a job well done! if ella meant to exaggerate the issue by using “Rotting”
then kudos to her. kc kung hindi nya ginawa yon ano kaya mangyayari sa mga goods na iyon. misinterpreted man o hindi, the result was stunning!. One Blogger exposed millions of dollar worth of goods na dapat lang ay para sa mga biktima nating kababayan. I don’t care whatever Cabral’s blah! blah! blah! normal lang sa gobyerno yon. We pinoy should be more vigilant now lalo na may mga donasyon pa na darating. Lets Watch DSWD!!!
what difference will it make to receive donations or not if these donations will never reach the appropriate recipients…
I donated also for our kababayans who were badly needed of our help but I didn’t give my donations to government agencies because I know this will happen. Wag na kayong magtaka sa mga nangyayaring anomalya sa government nten… the best thing is to do is for us to become wiser in choosing the next leader of our country. Khet anong tulong ang makuha nten mula sa ibang bansa kung ang namumuno naman e makasarili… wla talagang pagasa umangat ang ating bansa.
hinyupak tlga yang mga nkaupo n yan…ndi b sila naawa pg nkikita nla s tv ung mga taong sobrang nangangailangan ng help dun s mga ndi aman mxado napektuhan..dpat tlga ung next n uupo ung kamay n bakal tlga tska ung tlgang may puso..mga nuknukan ng kurakot kasi ung mga nkaupo e kya wlang nangyayari stin..imposible ndi involve ung mga nkapo jan..ipapakain ko s knila yan kpg bngyan nlng ako nyan s araw ng election..dats the perfect example of “HAYUP”
hi ella,
First reaction na naramdaman ko after reading your blog is disgust for DSWD. Nakakapanginig ng laman sa galit, inis at ano pang pwede mong maramdaman kapag nakita at nabasa mo yung nangyayari. I salute you for bravely doing this entry and you are right every Filipino has the right to know about this. I was able to attach the link in my FB account and I hope alot will be concerned and will also do their part na gumawa ng paraan para matigil na yung ganitong kasakiman at makarating ang mga relief goods sa mga dapat nakatanggap. Thanks so much for this information.
saan po pa ang location ng warehouse na ito?
this is obviously an eye opener, seriously guys we should do something about this.
Your blog is unfair!! You did not mention whether you or thousands of volunteer were refused to provide help. Did
DSWD organized volunteers to package these goods? Why did they not do this? How many civic organizations offered their help to prepare all these incoming relief products so it can be distributed? Why not work on getting the numbers of what or which organization wants to volunterr so all these packages can be distributed but were turned down. This will prove that your claim is more credible or what you are implying has merit. Then maybe you can complain.
dapat pasukin ng media para malaman kung gaano karami dapat ang maipapamigay sa mga nasalanta,,hindi yung itinatago lang nila na parang aangkinin
wtf…kaya hindi ako nagvolunteer diyan eh..sa sagip ako tumulong…grr..nakakairita…grabe talaga..baka sa MAY 2010 pa idistribute yan…tsk tsk
Ms. Ella, good day. I just got word of your expose thru my friend. Based sa mga comments, I believe na galit na galit na ang mga tao sa DSWD, which is very sad for me. By the way, I work at DSWD, but my work is not directly involved in the implementation of its programs.
During the Ondoy up until now, we at the office continued a 24-hour/day operation to facilitate receiving, accounting, repacking and distribution of the goods donated to us. The office utilizing every manpower available to facilitate this, and even “hired” some people to assist us in the repacking the goods. By “hired”, I mean that they are compensated for their work thru goods (Food for Work). We utilized the walk-in volunteers, whenever they are available to us. Most of my officemates, particulary the social workers were deployed to the areas for distribution of these goods, most of them unable to go home to their families due to the call of duty to the needing. Some of them got sick and recovered.
After hearing about this blog this morning, I immediately opened my computer to read what is this about. I am saying that you are citing a very valid issue here. The people needs to know, especially the donors, where are the donations going to. It just saddens me that most of the comments here are hate for the Department, most often, generalizing it. Though you said that you dont have anything against the employees of DSWD, and you even commended them, majority of the people who commented here hates the Department, in effect its employees, for not acting on the task at hand. This is very saddenning and discouraging for the employees of the Department, like me, that our efforts are, somehow, being taken for granted. Being a new employee at the Department, I was shocked by the way the people hates us, after the work we done to provide the goods to the needing.
Ms. Ella, again, I am saying that you are citing a very valid issue, even though it gave birth to the hate that the Department is experiencing now. I just want to share to the readers/followers of this blog that most of the employees, if not all, of DSWD are doing our part to ensure that our affected countrymen are properly assisted and the employees deserve a little appreciation, at least.
Thank you for your time and good day.
ang DSWD is the sole agency tasked in this kind of work. so sino pa bang government agency ang maghahandle nito? kaya nga all donations are coursed through that agency.
now, did the author really know what was happening around? a day in the warehouse packing those goods won’t give her all the important and pertinent details of what’s going on. did she ask around? alam niya yung procedures and protocols?
while the effort is commendable, i’m just afraid that without having the complete picture, but instead, posting without verifying facts is just dangerous.
i think there’s a need for responsible blogging.
anak ng pating tlga tong gobyerno ntn… kaya ndi umaasenso ang Pilipinas… tama naman ung mga comments ng marami, ndi kelangan maghanap ng volunteers… maraming nakakaawang biktima… maswerte nlng kayong mga nasa position kung ndi kayo nasalanta… mas gugustuhin nyo pa bang mga ipis at daga ang makinabang nyang mga relief goods???? haayz…
Sa DSWD,
Kung merong delicadeza si Secretary Cabral .. mag-resign ka na
Hmmmmm … teka … si Gloria nga laki ng bulilyaso nyan di nag - resign …. eh .. tuta pa kaya niya .
Sa mga balak pang tumulong sa mga kababayan nating nasalanta … WAG nyo ng padaanin sa gobyerno ni gloria .. alam nyo na ang mangyayari.
Salamat kay Ella … at sa marami pang magbubukas ng “can of worms” ni gloria
shet.. nka2badtrip nman ung mga nbasa ko at nakita.. naka2hiya sa mga bansang tmulong, :X
hayyy..
When the news stated the arrival for these relief goods from many donor countries, there was a big question/worry in my mind. That these goods will be channeled and handled by a government department. Instead of feeling relieved for the typhoon victims, i even felt worried because these goods, and maybe even cash donations, will be falling into the wrong hands.
Without a doubt, any government department or agency under this present administration should not be trusted.
I would not even wonder if those cash donations would be used to fund the campaign expenses of administration bets in the 2010 elections.
I would not even wonder those relief goods they are holding in that warehouse would be eventually be distributed during campaign sorties of administration candidates, and make them look so good.
God please help our country from the vultures!
Ang hindi kumpletong information, ay misinformation. How sad that the explosion of social networking sites, albeit it has provided us countless ways to interact and connect with a lot others, can become the same tool that could bring our country down. Suddenly, everyone is an expert and want to spout an opinion. Pictures can say a thousand words, but it cannot tell the whole story. How I wish ella bothered to check the procedures on relief operations first, bago isiniwalat sa blog. Sariling bansa rin natin ang kawawa.
Sigurado, yung hindi na ibigay na na goods, ipapamimigay ng mga buhaya sa election, na may kasamang picture nila. taena talaga tong administration ni Unana! Lahat corrupt, kulang na lang pati first gardener i-report na corrup din.
Sino kaya ang makikinabang ng Emergency Funds? I bet someone will declare na ubos na ang pondo..hakot ng hakot, malapit na tapos termino. Tapos takbo HongKong, wala extradition.
yan naman ang kutob ng mga tao noon pamang umpisang nag-do-donate ng may mga magandang kalooban, huwag tayong magalala may KARMA naman, SANA GAWIN NG DSWD SA NAGYARING EXPOSE NA ITO, sabayan nila ng kamera ang pagdistribute ng mga items na lumabas sa blog ni ella para malinis at transparent. at saka huwag ng ipapasa pa sa kung kaninikanino dahil nababawasan ang laman niyan (relief pack) kung may dadaanan pang iba, ano ba yan, tila wala ng pagkakatiwalaan, ang masaklap pa niyan makakarating pa yan sa mga nag-donate, “NAKAKAHIYA KAYO HOY”
Malaki pasalamat ng Administrasyon sa media, kasi sila ang unang gumalaw para tulungan ang mga tao. Kaya ang mga nabulatlat ni Ms. Ella sa warehouse para yon sa election at ang mga cash donation puwede nang mag-dinner ulit sa U.S. kasama ang mga bowwowow ng Administrasyon. Paano kaya ang media, invite ba sila? Uso na naman ba ang PAYOLA?
hope dumami pa ang mga gaya mo, dont worry bout sa mga negative comments mga pakawala ni aling gloria un, bookmarked kna sa comp ko, must read na rin ung blog mo as i pass it to my friends, keep strong, basta sa tama lng, count me in. . . GOB BLESS.
im a spanish citizen i will forward this blog sa cooperacion española internacional para matingnan ito ng spanish embassy dyan sa filipinas kung ano nangyayari at yong donacion ng españa ay mukhang ayaw ipamigay at may masamang balak.nakakahiya talaga pag ganyan sino pa ang magbibigay sa filipinas ng tulong kung yong mga ayuda ay naibobolsa.
dear ella,
di po ako kontrabida sa blog nyo..di kaya you are jumping into conclusion? every government office has procedures..did you bother to ask dswd”s STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE on how they will disburse regarding those imported donated items?
im just being level headed on these matters..emotions does not contribute to those victims of the past calamity..maybe you should have gone to your congressman and reported these matters,i think you have opened the pandoras box here..my suggestion is..you should have gone to proper channels..or else be declared the ENEMY OF THE STATE he! he! he!.(have you watched that movie)
sabagay..wala nman mangyayari kung dadaan ka sa proper channels..but it would be much legal that way..safe sider ka ika nga..di ka mabubutasan
yun lng po..thanks..
ELLA, THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!
Kung hindi dahil sa expose o blog mo, ala pa rin kaming kamalay-malay sa nangyayari dyan s DSWD.
Natutuwa ako at kahit papaano eh lumiit kahit konti lang ang mga mundo ng mga iresponsableng tao sa DSWD.
Sana makonsensya at mapahiya sila kahit konti o kahit enough lang para umaksyon man lang ang mga tao n iyan sa gobyerno.
Basta tibayan mo lang ang loob mo sa mga intriga… basta tandaan mo n marami ang malaki ang pasasalamat syo at nagdadasal palagi para sa iyo.
At tama yung ibang comment n di lahat ng tao sa gobyerno eh corrupt, pero di natin maikakaila n Maraming empleyado sa gobyerno eh Corrupt…
ang purpose ng blog n ito eh hindi hate kundi i-share lang yung observation o experience nya as a lumong lumo na volunteer…
blog nya ito kaya ini-express nya lamang dito yung nararamdaman niya…
At kung meron mang procedures yang DSWD na sinusunod eh please lang pwede pakibilisan yang procedures na yan o kaya gawin niyong mas efficient para mas maraming nangangailangan ang makinabang agad.
Also, yes- medyo nakakahiya nga ito sa international community pero hindi si Ella o ang blog niya ang nakakahiya, kundi yang mga nakaupo o namamahala sa atin dyan s gobyerno.
Duon sa DSWD, hindi ko kayo hate, pero kung ayaw niyong i-hate kyo ng tao, hindi si Ella ang dapat sisihin niyo…
kundi yung…err… actually dapat wag kayong manisi bagkus patunayan niyo sa mga tao n di kayo dapat i-hate.
Maraming tao ang thankful naman tlg sa ginagawa niyo eh (like me) pero at the end of the day, TRABAHO niyo tlg iyan…As In! hindi ba?…
binabayaran o sinuswelduhan naman kyo for your efforts through people’s taxes…
so dapat tlg ginagawa niyo ang pagtulong n iyan…
yes- your families and health were affected but pls know n di lng ang health at families nyo ang affected…
si Ella ay isang volunteer, WALANG BAYAD, nagbigay ng oras at lakas ng walang kapalit o benepisyo n tulad niyo.
tingin niyo b eh ung health o yung family ni ella eh hindi rin affected???
Haayyy…bigla ko tuloy naalala yung mga pulitiko kapag eleksiyon… panay ipaaalala o isusumbat yung mga nagawa o naitulong nila sa mga botante… DYOSME!!!! AGAIN, TRABAHO NYO ang MAGLINGKOD sa TAO…
Bakit utang n loob ng mga tao (employer) ang mga nagawang mahusay ng kanilang ibinoto (empleyado) at sinuswelduhan by taxes?????
Kung ayaw nyo maglingkod sa mga tao(employer)… malaya kayong mag-resign… at kung mali o di nyo ginagawa ang mga trabaho niyo… mahiya kayo sa tao o sa employer niyo!
Ang tao eh may karapatan na malaman ang totoo at matanggap ang kaukulang serbisyo n nauukol o binabayaran din naman nila.
To Ella, again THANK YOU!!!
Huwag kang susuko!!! at God bless^_^
sa mga empleyado ng gobyerno:
duon s mga tapat at ginagawa ang trabaho nila eh Keep It Up.
duon s hindi, eh mahiya kayo at makunsensya! Grrrr!!!!
Peace to everybody!!!
Ms. Ella, dapat nag imbestiga ka muna. Ang daming bagay-bagay na maapektuhan.
Pano na ang mga matatapat na pangkaraniwang empleyado ng DSWD na nagsusumikap kumilos para sa kapakanan ng mga tao? Inalam mo manlang ba na maging medical doctors at dentists at nurses nitong departamentong ito ay nagrerepack ng goods,pupunta sa mga bahang lugar para magpareceive ng mga goods, umuuwi ng 1:00AM sa kani-kanilang bahay makatapos lamang sa iniatang na trabaho, na 32 hours kumikilos kasabay pa ang mga paperworks na talagang trabaho nila, na walang overtime pay or OT na tinatanggap ang mga kawani sa halip ay offsetting lang, na may mga staff na umaabot ng 200 days ang sobrang pasok sa trabaho para lamang makagsilbi sa mga taong nasalanta, inaalagaang mga iniwang mga baby, mga pinabayaang matatanda, mga pulubing pakalat kalat at kinakalinga ng DSWD? Inalam mo ba kung talagang nabubulok?
Tiningnan mo ba mga expiry date? Tiningnan mo ba or inalam kung intended yun sa mga victims ng typhoon?
Inalam mo ba na bawat isang tumatanggap ng relief ay pilit na pinapapirma para siguradong biktima nga sila ng bagyo?
Inalam mo ba na katulad sa evergotesco pasig ay napakaraming nagpapanggap na binaha at 7x pabalik balik sa pila para makatangap ng relief, ipunin sa tricycle na dala at saka ibenta? Inalam mo ba na sa isang hamburger ang isang bata ay 4 na beses pinagpapalit ng damit para makakuha lang nito para makapandaya?
Inalam mo ba na wala ng oras ang mga empleyado nito para sa sarili at pamilya nila?
Ikaw ba ay talagang volunteer or espiya lang na nagkukunwaring volunteer?
Ano na ba ang nagawa mo sa buhay na ikakarangal ka ng Dyos? May naisalba ka na bang kaluluwa na dapat sana’y mapupunta na sa impyerno?
Hindi ba’t ang ginawa ng kanang kamay ay dapat wag nang sabihin sa kaliwang kamay dahil balewala na sa Dyos kung ito’y ipapangalandakan mo lang?
Pano ka nga ba pinalaki ng mga magulang mo?
kaming mga pangkaraniwang empleyado ang pilit mong sinisiraan at patuloy na naapektuhan….
Ikaw ba ay Pilipino? Kung oo ang sagot mo ay parte ka rin ng kabulukan dahil bunganga mo lang ang pinaiiral mo sampu ng iyong mga lipi.
Of course it make sense na may naiulat ka, samin bang mga empleyado napupunta ang mga donasyon? mismong kami na naapektuhan ng baha ay inuuna pang magrepak, mag ikot sa mga nasalanta, mag duty sa mga centers na may mga abused, neglected, abandoned babies, children, adults, and older persons (senior citizens).
Tunay nga na sa isang puting papel ang tangi mo lang pupunahin at patuloy na pupunahin ay yung isang tuldok na itim.
Ang natatanging ganda mo kaya dito sa picture mo sa blog ay kasing ganda rin ng panloob mong kaanyuhan?
Nagsiyasat ka ba kung pano makipag away ang mga empleyado sa mga local staff dahil pinapalitan nila mga supot ng DSWD ng mukha at supot ng kanilang mga politicians o mga nakaupo dun sa local nila?
Tamang manggising ka subalit alamin mo muna kung talagang ibinubulsa, nino at kanunuman?
Bakit hindi ka pumunta sa Malacanang at dun kumuha ng mga pictures at makita mong hindi nauubos ang laksa laksang donation na patuloy na ipinamimigay sa mga tao?
Bakit hindi ka magpunta sa mga taong nasalanta at alamin kung ilang mga kababayan natin ang pinagsasamantalahan ang mga donations?
Bakit hindi ikaw mismo ang magrepack ng mga goods, pumunta sa mga evacuation centers or binahang lugar at maranasan mo ang aming paghihirap? Baka matakot ka pa sa leptospirosis.
Can you smile and face our God that when you die now you can tell Him that you have done your best as a human being? That you haven’t lie? That you have been a loving daughter of your parents? That your beauty is inside and outside… your heart?
Batuhin mo mga taong nagkakasala kung ikaw sa sarili mo ay hindi manlang nagkakasala.
Are you a Christian by name only?
Saang parte ng mundo walang nangyayaring korapsyon? Do you know?
Sinong gobyerno ang nakapag ahon na sa ating bansa?
meron ba?
Nag blog ka rin ba nung may foreign diplomate na nanghahalay ng mga batang lalake natin?May ginawa kabang hakbang para masolusyunan yun?
Never ka bang nagbukas ng internet para makakita ng hubad na katawan? Kung nakapag internet ka at tumingin at nawili sa mga bold sites hindi ba’t pagkakasala rin sa Dyos yun?
Sinong mga nakaupo ang nakapagsilbi na sa bayan ng matapat?
Ang US ba ay hindi nalugmok dahil na rin sa kanyang mamamayan maliban sa gobyerno nya?
Kung may mga anak ka na , naturuan mo man lang ba siang gumalang sa mga matatanda, magsabi ng po at opo? Na i guide momanlang ba sila habang sila ay nanonod ng TV para malaman kung ano ang tama at mali?
Hindi ba’t kaparte ka rin ng Pilipinas?
Yang mga kamay mo manlang ba ay nadumihan na at nailusong na ang katawan mo sa baha para makapag abot ng simpleng tulong o panalangin sa mga binaha?
Never ka bang kumain ng candy or sitsirya at itinapon mo ang pinagbalatan nito kung saan ka nakaupo or nakatayo or naglalakad?
Nakapagtanim ka man lang ba ng mga halaman para humigop ng carbon ng dioxide or maging ng sarili mong hininga?
Your blog should be fair enough.
Wala kamanlang bang muta na ikakatisod mo?
Are we awaken by your blog or it will just be as silent as plain words?
Yung mga comment ba dito ay matututo ng magtapon ng basura sa tamang lugar, hindi na magsusunog ng basura, magtatanim na ng puno, magmamalasakit sa sariling bansa o lugar, magbibigay galang sa mga nakakatanda, may mga kapansanan, mamahalin ba nila ng tapat kanilang mga asawa’t anak, magiging mabuti na ba ang kanilang pamilya kung saan nag uugat ang kagalingan at mabuting prinsipyo at panimulain sa buhay?
Magbabasa ka na ba ng Bibliya para malaman mong ang lahat ng mga pangyayaring ito ay senyales ng kaparusahana at sumpa ng mundo bilang panimula ng kanyang wakas para sa 2nd coming ni Jesus?
Let us all be awaken by the true reality of this earth… that it will soon end in its most terrible and corruptible ways, that even your diamonds, golds, bodies that you beautify will vanish or may go to heaven or hell depending on how you live with yoth…
Paalam Ella, waglang sanang puro dada, sana kumilos ka, gisingin ang iyong espirito.
At sa mga kababayan natin… wake up, smile, have faith in God, but most importantly, wag nang magkasala upang ang ating bansa ay patawarin ng Dyos. Maniwala ka man o hindi, magwawakas na ang mundong ito.
And don’t be afraid… lahat ng mga kawalanghiyaan or kasalanan ng bawat isa sa atin ay ating ipagsusulit sa Poong Maykapal.
But time has its own place in God’s hand…
Grabe nman yan… Kakalungkot isipin na mayroon pang kasakiman na naiisip tong Gobyerno natin sa kabila na ng Krisis… Nawa ito po ang ating patuloy na ipanalangin na ang susunod na mamumuno ng ating bansa ay makaDiyos at tunay na may pagmamalasakit sa bayan hindi yung huwad at nagbabalatkayo lang… Yung totoong may compassion sa mga Pilipinos…. Salamat po sa blog niyo I really felt bad about this thing….
God bless ate Ella…
Sana magpublish ang DSWD sa mga newspapers ng report with the following details , nang sa gayun ay magkaroon ng basehan ang judgement ng mga tao :
Donor Kind of Donation Date Received Date Deliv.to Beneficiaries
Thanks
sh*t naman. putik naman, grbe. bakit ganun? ang kapal ng mukha ng DSWD. ang dami daming gusto mag volunteer, as in, sa abs foundation nga nag uumapaw ang volunteers e, pumipila pa cla para makatulong, tapos sasabhn nyo n walang volunteers, kaya cguro wala ay dahil hndi gumagawa ng paraan ang gobyerno para i-advocate sa mga tao n nid nila ng volunteers.
wala lang nakakadismaya lang talga, ang kapal ng mukha nyo. sana ma0karma kayo., mahiya man lang kyo sa mga nagdodonate ng mga goods n un, di nila binigay un para lang mabulok. nakakahiya, ganyan n ba ka-desperado ang gobyerno sa power at sa pera, maawa naman sana kayo!
Kuya Juan Dela Cruz I know how you feel but don’t you think you are out of the topic na po… You can express your opinion po sa ibang blog na pinag uusapan ay ang Why we experience this thing in the World? or Why God permits this thing to happen??? Alam natin na gaano man po kasama ang tao may kabutihan pa rin po yan sa puso kasi ang Diyos ang lumikha sa lahat kaya nga po our God is merciful and gracious to all… So now po alam ko din na malapit ng dumating ang Lord but I will ask you one thing nagawa mo na ba ang inuutos ng Lord sa yo personally??? So please po huwag nyong i-condemn yung iba sa kanilang pagmamalasakit sa bayan dhil gusto lang nilang ipakita ang kanilang mga nasaksihan. Kung hindi po nila gagawin yon walang ibang gagawa at hindi po natin ito malalaman… Kaya nawa po maging maayos ang inyong kalooban kuya juan Dela Cruz at tunay na mamunga ang Banal na Espiritu sa buhay niyo… God bless po and Shalom…..
Hi Ella! Kudos to your courage for doing this and for standing out for your principles. I posted a blog post about this at “Pagod Ka Na Bang Maging si Juan?” Here is the url along with other links including the noodles of Manny Villar…. http://pagodkanaba.blogspot.com/2009/10/ang-mga-nabubulok-na-relief-goods-sa.html

ELLA FOR PRESIDENT. . .

I salute you Ella for this Expose’. I’m expecting DSWD to act swiftly rather than ..ngangawa at mag e explain…Umakto kaagad DSWD at ipakita sa buong sambayanan na gumagalaw mga relief goods na to para naman ma-Releive naman mga kawawang kababayan natin. Then ipakita sa media na wala na laman ng warehouse at nadistribute na..siyanawa. Then dun kayo mag explain. Wag yung kung ano ano dahilan ginagawa nila. I read the news about this Inquirer.net …You doing a good job Ella. Keep it Up.
“Ang hindi kumpletong information, ay misinformation. How sad that the explosion of social networking sites, albeit it has provided us countless ways to interact and connect with a lot others, can become the same tool that could bring our country down. Suddenly, everyone is an expert and want to spout an opinion. Pictures can say a thousand words, but it cannot tell the whole story. How I wish ella bothered to check the procedures on relief operations first, bago isiniwalat sa blog. Sariling bansa rin natin ang kawawa.”
—> This comment of yours would be applicable if the government was honest and competent to begin with. But given the GMA regime’s corrupt and oppressive nature, people would naturally assume that they are going to do something surrepititous with the relief goods.
PESTENG MGA BUWAYA YAN! DAPAT D’YAN SA MGA ‘YAN, PABAGSAKIN SA ELEKSYON!
MASKI NOON PA NANGYAYARI NA YAN! PAG ME MGA IMPORTED GOODS NA DONATIONS SA IBANG BANSA,PURO LOCAL GOODS ANG PINAMIMIGAY.TANGNA TALAGA NYANG MGA TAO JAN SA DSWD!
ganun talaga ang gobyerno… kaya sa susunod, wag natin ipagbibili boto natin… kung hindi man nabili ang boto natin, pagsabihan natin nang paulit ulit ang mga kilala nating botante na binebenta ng 200 o 300 o 500 o higit pa ang boto, at na wag ibebenta ang boto… dahil hanggang ipinagbibili nila ang mga boto nila, at hindi nila iboboto ang kwalipikado talaga, talagang walang hiyaan at bastusan ang transaksiyon sa gobyerno…
To Juan de la Cruz (comment no. 313)
So ano ang gusto mong gawin ni ella, manahimik na lang at palampasin ang katiwalian sa DSWD dahil lamang sa “tao rin lang siya na nagkakamali din”? Sa palagay ko, mas malaking pagkakamali sa parte n’ya kung hahayaan lamang niya na ang pagkaing isusubo na lamang ng mga nasalanta ng bagyo ay nanakawin pa ng iilang nasa kapangyarihan.
Ella’s being human and imperfect does not make the DWSD and the government any less corrupt.
KUDOS TO YOU ELLA! Ikaw ang magandang modelo ng isang Filipino. Kaya kami nangibangbansa dahil kawawa ang mga anak namin sa PINAS. Mahal namin ang Pilipinas pero kung bakit cla sa pangurakot lang ang ginagawa. Yung mga undistributed goods na yan ay may pinaglaanan, di ba election ma ulit sa 2010? So, duon nila yun kailangan para mapabango cla sa tao…..Salamat sa kabayanihan mo.
Grabe, kinikilabutan ako sa galit sa kakapal ng mukha ng mga taong yan… walang konsensya… ang kapal talaga.. dapat maimedia ito at ng mapahiya lahat ng mga nakaupong mga buwaya na yan.. ang kapal!!!
Kung sino man may kakilala sa media please help na maikalat ito….
To Juan Dela Cruz,
Si Ella me malasakit sa bayan natin kaya nya pinost ito sa webpage nya. Ang kapal ng mukha mo na sabihan si Ella na wag puro daldal - eh nag-volunteer nga yun tao na tumulong sa mga kababayan natin na binagyo! Ikaw ang puro salita lang pero takot naman sa responsibilidad kaya ni hindi mo masabi totoong pangalan mo. YOU ARE PATHETIC PIECE OF S**T!!!!! Kung totoo kang pilipino - i-do-donate mo yung BINAYAD sa’yo para dyan sa ni-post mo na comment dun sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo.
To Secretary Cabral,
Stop making excuses. If you cannot do your job then RESIGN from your post!
“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.” No thanks to you for not getting the goods to those who really need them - and by that, I don’t mean those who are going to profit from it.
“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.” A major disaster just occurred but DSWD obviously felt no sense of urgency to respond to it. Tama si Ella, there’s always a way to help pack and distribute these goods but only if those in charge really want to do something about it. You’re obviously not doing your job - hintay ka lang ng hintay ng me mag-volunteer. Pag wala - well sensya na lang sa mga nangangailangan. QUIT MAKING EXCUSES AND START WORKING!!! I-earn mo naman yang title mo!
breaking news!!!! another Gloria’s account, is set to sign into law a bill condoning some Php94 billion worth of penalties slapped on 164,111 delinquent employers that failed to remit contributions to the SSS, Sources, INQUIRER.net. These Gloria’s cohorts (the delinquent employers/robbers) are robbing workers of their hard-earned money. Why give them condonation? Because they are like her?
This is worst than hoarding donated goods. A criminals at that being condoned. no wonder plunderer, rapest, politicians got free at the stroke of her pin
comment 329 RIC BUENVENTURA. . .BRO cool ka lng hamo sila, sabi ko nga earlier mga pakawala ni aling gloria yan. Spread na lng ntin tong blog ni future PRESIDENT ELLA.
tama si “saksi ni ella”… ikalat na lang natin ang “masamang” balita ni ella… hehehe nilagay ko na lahat yan sa lahat ng groups at blog ko… at tinex ko na rin lahat ng kakilala ko
95% of all government agencies not just DSWD are HOPLESS. I my self does not even look forward to the coming elections any more because they are all the same. They currently hold positions and they have all the chance to prove what they are capable of in improving Filipino life standards, but you do not see any significant, and if there are a few, they mixed it with some personal profitable advantage. How fortunate are these officials having the luxury of spending taxpayer’s money for their personal interest. Mikey Arroyo’s buking interview with Winnie and Egan is a good example. Even a dumb would not believe these people does not know how to declare their Statement of Assets and Liability. With regards to DSWD, its not rocket science to know something is fishy with hoarding those relief goods for month after the the calamity. LET THE WORLD KNOW NO MATTER HOW SHAMEFUL IT IS, OF WHAT GOVERNING BODY WE HAVE, IF THIS IS WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THESE PEOPLE ACTS STRAIGHT.
some people need to realize that people were dying because of inadequate basic needs, food clothing and shelter, which these donations could have provided IF these goods were mobilized AS soon as humanly possible. ang dami nyong nirereklamo jan, intindihin nyo muna yung sinasabi. hirap sa madaming pilipino, hindi nag iisip. eh ano pa ang silbi ng bwis na binabayaran ng mga pilipino kung hindi rin magagamit (for goods or for moving it.) pang sagip sa mga buhay nila especially in times of need. ah alam ko na, pangbayad sa dinner sa new york, or pang around the world ng presidente. or pang bili ng mga kotseng naka 8 na plaka. leche
well, ella thanks na nabisto mo etong mga kagaguhang ginawa ng nga taga DSWD..sa tingin ko me mga hinayupak na nag control sa distribution ng mga donation galing sa ibang bansa……hoy cabral ang baboy mo na pinagdiskitaan nyo pa mga donation para sa mga victims..kelan kaya kayo ang maging biktima at hindi kami tutulong sa inyo mga baboy kau…pa deeply hurt ka pa sa tv…hoy baboy ayusin nyo nga donation dyan hindi yan para sa inyo…matigok na kayo sa mga kahayupang ginawa nyo..
ay naku guys nagtataka pa kayo alam nyo na malapit na silang magsitalsikan lahat sa pwesto kaya nag iipon na sila ng last supper nila bago sila kunin ni lord. wala sa bokabolaryo ng mga yan kapwa basta may laman mga bulsa at bunganga nila ala sila paki hayaan mo na yan pasasaan bat bigla n lng mamatay yang mga yan…..
Kapag ang isang puno ay masama ang tubo,gayon din ang mga sanga at bunga,tulad ng isang tao may ipalamon lamang sa sa kanyang mga tao at aso,kahit ipagnakaw o kaya ipangutang sa ibang bansa.Ngayo’y naman ang ginamit ay ang mga biktima ng ‘ONDOY at PEPENG’ para ipanlimos ng AWA,para nakawin ng kanyang mga ASO at gamitin sa darating na Halalan.Ang dapat ay bantayan mabuti ang mga kilos ng mga hinayupak dahil madaling gumawa ng paraan at ilipat sa ibang lugar ,presto now you see now you don’t,like bubble in the air,kaawang mga biktima nahihintay ng AWA sa mga walanghiya .
oo nga naman, dapat may kaantabay na media yan pag magdidistribute, tama lang ang ginawa ni ella mas maaga pa mas maganda, atleast ngayon kung may binabalak man ang iba dyan, medyo nagiisip sila, pero hindi rin, makakapal na yan eh, ang malaking tanong bakit hindi yan dalhin agad-agad sa mga naapektuhan ng kalamidad, ano pa ang hinihintay nila, bakit wala paba silang nakitang buyer? nagtatanong lang
Hindi incompetent si Cabral, kasi experienced official na yan! At hindi magkulang as manpower o sa pera ang gubyerno. It has all the logistic resources it can mobilize. Talagang ipinaplano yan. Sa tingin ko, there are could be many reasons to hold pending ang mga imported goods na yan! a. ) parang ipamigay sa mga LGU officals at sa political machineries nationwide immediately before the 2010 eleksyon; b.) ipalusot sa black market para may ma-raise na funds for political and other personal purposes! c.) may naglobby na business group para maisustained ang market at high local demands for local products d.) Extend or stretch temporarily the crisis para may ‘popular impact’ and distribution ng ‘goods’ through government agencies later - after all the NGOs has stopped their distributions. Thanks for the info.
I am sure you have misunderstood. Is this also a hype? I will guess yes. People love controversies.
There are processes in deploying these goods. I have been in the ENROC. Desperately we were invited to help repack the goods. It would take I think a little time to process distributable packs since from what I have observed, knowing that the operation was understaffed, goods needed to be labeled with the agency’s name DSWD. They permanently printed on the packs and contents so that no other people or businesses could claim that these are their donations. Also a massive distribution of some of the packed goods were postponed because of security concerns for the volunteers. There had been strict procedures in delivering the goods to LGUs and not to partisan groups that might take the opportunity. Truly there is not enough number of social workers in the Philippines. Everybody are lawyers, accountants, engineers, journalists and bloggers. The process is slow because people have run out of energies out of hyped volunteering programs by private media and business firms. NGOs have complained to DSWD because they lack manpower as people were siphoned by Sagip Kapamilya and other popular programs. Funny that people nowadays whine about accountability from agencies while they truly trust private firms deploying relief operations that these are with pure intentions.
As I always say, one who disposes the government or a collective body itself as a concept, whether or not the President is GMA, he/she doesn’t care about other people at all. And if DSWD and all govt agencies are evil because GMA is evil, then we should be evil because we are in fact, false or true, in a “democracy” headed by GMA. Ella, people believe in you. Fight for this if you have the confidence that you really have investigated. Hindi ka naman militante, from the nature of your complaint and there should be nothing to worry about exposing this. This isn’t about dead bodies of activists.
In turn, popularizing public distrust is something capitalism likes. And you have been a part of it.
I have been sent this article to england,i am appalled and will do all i can to make the briish press aware of this. Good luck b
sukdulan na talaga ang kawalanghiyaan ng gobyernong ito. lahat na masamang ugali sa mundo ay kumapit na sa katawan ni gloria at mga tao niya! huwag kayong mag-alala mga kababayan, nakata-
takda ang mga kaparusahan sa mga paris nila, kung hindi sa mundo, DOON SA IMPIYERNO!
I agree… but is it the fault of the children to have the “parents” they don’t like?
Who choose the secretaries? The president isn’t it.
Yes, i have done my job, working 12 - 24 hours a day since I entered this goverment without any overtime pay is more than enough… being underpaid.
Sino ba ang malalaki ang sweldo? hindi ba mga kongresista, nasa politiko, mga secretaries?
Bakit mga kawawang maliliit na empleyado ang nadadamay?
Ang kasalanan ba ng magulang ay kasalanan ng anak?
Can you ask a robot to feel what you feel ? Or we are like computers waiting for the command to start…..
We don’t tolerate bad things… bu if the bad things make those officals feel secure and accomplished, why don’t we all move and do the necesary actions.
Try to be a government slave and you will all know what I am talking…
to juan dela cruz
alam mo wag ka ng magbalat sibuyas yan ang ginusto mng trabaho kaya dapat panindigan mo kesihuda na abutin k ng kamatayan mo sa pagbabalot e dapat lang kayo manguna sa mga ganyan imbes na mag suggest k sa mga amo mo ng maganda masyado ka defensive may patong ka din sigurong isang kalderong punong-puno ng sardinas at sabon hindi nman kayong mga heroes ng dswd and tinitira dito ung mga gago mng amo kaya wag ka masyado maarte dyan kng ayaw mo magbalot mag call center kna lng ang galing2 mo nman pala empleyado dapat maging taas noo ka na hindi ikaw ang topic ng blog na to di k nman kasi sikat bwahahaha…
We cannot rely on government during emergencies. That is why I donate to private institutions. Much more competent. Government institutions are extremely slow to move if they move at all.
Such a shame, so many entities have donated relief goods and they are in the warehouse. Tents et al might be sold for profit (kaya naka tago ang mga tents at ibang mga kagamitan).
Thank you for exposing the ineptness of the dswd.
To Juan de la Cruz:
If your job is difficult as you say it is, then you should be one of the first people to point out the corruption going on at the DSWD. Think about it: you’re overworked, underpaid and are made to pack relief goods that will only go to the rats in the Arroyo regime. If I were in your shoes, I’ll be one of the first to expose the anomalies in the aforementioned department.
nabasa ko ang entry ni juan dela cruz #313, unggoy itong taong ito, parang linta sa galing sumipsip. tiyak sa dswd nagtatrabaho ito at pinagtatanggol ang amo niya at malamang ay si cabral ang nagpasok sa kanya diyan. unggoy ka juan dela cruz, lakas ng loob mong gamitin ang pangalang juan dela cruz, dapat KOMANG ang ginamit mo!!!! UNGGOY!!!
to kristine0019
korek k dyan sister..
We are based here in Dubai, katulad ng mraming OFW, hndi rin kmi nag dalwang isip na tumulong in our own way ng malaman nmn na may isang foreigner na may filipina husband na mag papadala ng isang container na relief goods pra sa pinas…
In my own mind naisip ko sana hind i-consign sa DSWD, di na ko nagugulat kung mababalitaan ko pa ang mga ganitong bagay…ang mga taong gobyerno…hndi cguro lahat, pero aminin natin at hndi we cannot trust our own government…
nakaka inggit ang mga mayayamang bansa, suportado at pakain ng gobyerno ang mga mamamayan nila, pero sa pinas, suportado at pakain ng mga mamamayan ang mga taong gobyernong ito…
Isa lang ang nasa isip at dasal ko ng binigay ko ang aking tulong…SANA LORD MAKARATING SA DAPAT MAPUNTAHAN ANG MGA INAMBAG NAMING ITO…
I can only ask in prayers…SANA NGA LORD.
MERON NMANG KARMA - SABI NGA NGAYON DIGITAL NA ANG KARMA PARANG TXT NA LANG…SA MGA WALANG PUSO NA NAGSASAMANTALA PA SA MGA NASALANTA NA…ISANG ARAW KAYO DIN BAKA ABUTAN NA DIN NG BAHA…
Nga pala, thank you Ella for being brave…just like what i’ve said naforesee ko na to…hndi ako nagulat…pero kahit di ka na pala magugulat hndi pa din pede na di ka malungkot…God Bless Ella…
To Juan Dela Cruz…
Mag pray ka na lang din, nambabato ka din nman, aminin na natin ang kalakaran ng gobyerno natin…maaring hndi ikaw o hndi cla…pero wag ka ng masaktan dahil totoo lahat ng mga ngyayaring mga pagnanakaw sa bayan natin..
yung mga taong 7x bumabalik sa pila…hndi ba mahihirap din cla…kung cla ba ay kahit middle class lang gagawin ba nila yun? at bakit cla mahihirap? sa palagay mo ba gusto nila ang ngyayari sa kanila? sa palagay mo ba gusto nila na mhirap cla? sa palagay mo ba ang mga OFW gustong mag abroad?
Isa lang ang tama, mag dasal tyong lahat, patawarin natin ang ating mga sarili at ang ating kapwa, kung ayaw nila mag bago magbago ka…at higit sa lahat maging totoo ka…
I had been with the CSWD before, it is so embarrassing to know that corruption of that kind and degree happens in the national level because we do not practice that here in the local office.
Juan - di naman sinasabi na ikaw ang may kasalanan e…bkit ka nagkaka ganyan?? CABRAL ba ang totoo mong apelyido?
Juan - one more thing…malapit na eleksyon…wag ka na jan sa DSWD if you think you are in hell there…apply ka congressional staff..madaming pera don…
alam mo kung calling mo tlaga na nasa public service hndi ka dapat ganyan..
kung nahihirapan ka - KALAS!!! KALI-WALI! sabi pa ng mga arabs d2 sa UAE…at wag ka ng “BADO’!!!!
next year or next month or december bisitahin nyo ang bahay ng lahat ng opisyal ng DSWD at sigurado ako ma makakakita kayo ng mga bagay na nasa bodega ng DSWD sa loob ng bahay nila. kaya now pa lang dapat na maikalat e2 sa boung tabloid jan sa pinas para malaman ng taong bayan kung nasaan at saan napupuntah ang donasyon ng international communities. NAKAKAHIYA NMN KAYONG MGA OPISYAL NA PINAPASAHOD NG TAONG BAYAN!
ito ay para kay JUAN DELA CRUZ:
nako juan talagang nag mana ka kay MIKE ARROYO sa mga pananalita mo ay parang nasaktan ka na ma bulgar ang KADEMONYOHAN ni MIKE ARROYO. Lahat naman nang kapalpakan ngayon ay si MIKE ARROYO ang may pakana, i.e. ZTE, FERTELIZER, atbp… wag mo nang ipagmalaki ang GMA mo dahil wala ka nang magawa. dapat nga ituring mong HEROINE si ella sa ginawa nya.
MABUHAY KA ELLA GANDA!!!!!!!!!!!
nagalit si juan dela cruz dahil nabuking, siguro ang sama ng loob nyan, isipin mo nga naman dapat pera na naging bato pa, marami pa nagbabantay sa inyo hoy, at saka huwag kang maghimutok may suweldo ka naman dyan eh, ngayon lang nakabawi sa’yo ang taong bayan sa pinapasuweldo sa’yo, tanong ko lang sa’yo, KAYA MONG IPAKAIN SA PAMILYA MO ANG DAPAT SANA AY SA MGA NAAPEKTUHAN NG KALAMIDAD
Maybe imported items are to be kept for safekeeping, then later on will end up on hands of avaricious DSWD officials? Hehehehe!!!! We all know how some government sector works?
Si Juan ay baka multo lang ni Cabral, na maka sarili din ang iniisip!, kc nga sinasabi natin lahat ang term na DSWD kaya na generalize tuloy lahat ng employee of DSWD, but in the first place wala namang sinabi si Ella na lahat ng DSWD employee ay incompetence.
As Ella wrote:
“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. (Someone dies everyday due to sickness) In my opinion, these deaths could have been prevented if Secretary Cabral had tried a little harder to do her job.”
Ella concluded in her article:
“To the DSWD officials and Ms. Cabral: The burden of proof is on you. The donors expect that everything they sent be distributed immediately to the intended recipients and not be stored in some warehouse. As government officials, it is your social responsibility to the people.”
baka isa si JUAN sa mga DSWD official na walang magawa kundi sumunod sa utos ng amo nya.
I Salute all DSWD Volunteers and to all DSWD employees for the unselfish work theyve made. Mabuhay kayo lahat! kasama na si ELLA!
Kay Cabral!.. Talagang incompetent sya! wala akong ebidencya! the she depend herself in the media, its my opinion na INCOMPETENT sya sa work nya! mag resign nalang sya.
Bravo Ella!.. now all the imported goods were all released and brought to another safe warehouse!… hahaha akala mapunta sa mga biktima!.
sayang kc mga COLEMAN jars!… pang mayaman lang yon. hehehehe.
Nice expose’ Ella. Minsan kelangan latigohin yang mga taong gobyerno para magtrabaho ng mabilis at dapat bantayan para wag mangurakot. Keep it up!
Kayang iyang ipakain iyan, dami na akong nakitang ganyang mga tao.
“They are not motivated to serve the Filipino people, they are motivated to steal” This is happening in Philippine Government now, kilan kaya magiging deretso ang mga empleyado ng government ng Philippines?
DSWD dapat mag apologize for their incompetence. Systemang pang magnanakaw ang alam nila.
tsk tsk tsk….haaay! kaya minsan ang hirap ng magtiwala e….!
We will see all of these relief goods being used by administration candidates as bribe for the precious votes of our poor countrymen next year. Let’s just hope that the good-hearted DSWD secretary thinks of the reality — these relief goods are for the victims of calamities and not for the colleagues in the Kingdom of Malacanang.
Teka, government employee din ako ah, overwork at maliit din ang sweldo. Kaya nga ako nangagalaite eh. Ako alila tapos mga opisyal puro nakaw. Marami talaga Juan Dela Cruz, pero itong Juan dela Cruz eh nabibilang sa mga alilang tanga.
May kasalanan ka naman pala Ate Ella, bawal pala kumuha ng pictures duon dahil security risk. Ayaw pala sinasabi ni Kabal ang Mukha na security risk, iyong makunan na walang nagre repack at hinihintay lumipas ang panahon para sa kanila ang ang donasyon. Sabi Kabal eh para raw sa susunod na kalamidad, he he. tuwing may kalamidad maraming may mabubuting loob ang nagbibigay ng donasyon, kaya ipamigay nyo na iyan mga hayup kayo, pero huwag sa kapwa mo magnanakaw.
Ayos ang ginawa mo.. Nung umuwi nga ako galing dito sa Kuala Lumpur at lumapag kami sa DMIA Clark nung Oct 5 may kasabay din kami na tulong galing sa mga monks dito sa Malaysia.. Hundreds of boxes of relief goods.. Sana naman nakarating yun sa mga kababayan natin na totoong nangangailangan.. Kung mga tao sa ibang bansa eh nagkaroon ng awa sa atin, sana yung mismong kapwa natin Pilipino eh magkaroon din.. Matakot kayo sa Diyos.!.
Salamat Ella….Wag kang Matakot..
Ang mga imported na Relief Goods ay para yan sa mga Korap na Politoko at mga Gabinete, sa mga korap na empleyado ng DSWD at sa mga “Ukay-Ukay” o d kaya’y sa Baclaran o Divisoria. Wag nyong sabihin na lahat sa DSWD malinis dyan?
Tingnan nyo sa mga bahay nila - may isang bagay na inuwi nila galing sa mga “Donated Goods”. Bakit ba ganyan ang nangyayari? Dahil kahit sa pinaka mababang pwesto nga gobyerno talamak ang korapsyon. Check nyo sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo, ang mga natanggap nila - mga local goods. Bakit nga ba nangyayari ang mga ito na kahit alam mong may nagnanakaw hahayaan mo lang ba? Dahil mismo ang mga katulad ni Juan dela Cruz ay nanahimik lang sa tabi kahit alam nya ang nangyayaring na nakawan.. Dahil ba na wla lang syang paki sa mundo at ipaubaya nya lang sa diyos nya O dahil ba na sya’s umaasang ding mabigyan ng kahit konti sa mga ninakaw ng amo nila? ” Meron ba ako dyan?”
GRABE TALAGA! Nakakalungkot isipin pero ito ang katotohanan sa atin Government. Masakit man tanggapin pero It’s the reality.. What really matter is on where you stand.. GOOD / EVIL, TRUTH / LIES .. Nobody’s perfect only God and He will surely bring us a better judgement in the end! Let’s also pray for the victims at hand. God is Just and He will always provide. “Ibigay mo kay Juan ang para kay Juan at kay Pedro ang kay Pedro” God Bless always!
Ayun naman pala hinihintay ni Juan Dela Cruz dito, iyong parte niya. Kabal ng mukha ibinigay mo na iyon para kay Juan Dela Cruz.
sobrang ganda mo talaga ella!!! nasa tv ka na
ella antapang mo talaga dear. sana marami ang tumulad sa ugali mo. ibulgar ang dapat ibulgar.
ingat ka palagi. i’s so worried for your safety.
shiela
Thank u Ella for the job well done!!! I admire ur courage to reveal what is going on inside the DSWD Warehouses. Let us wait for few months, after they have segregated these relief goods, after they have taken what they wanted, we will see another flood. Flooding of imported clothings, beddings, utensils, equipments etc. in the UKAY-UKAY outlet.
I have read in the papers that several Congressmen and cabinet members including Vice President Noli de Castro were recipient of the relief goods. How sure are we that these relief goods will reach the poor typoons victims or they will receive those goods in time for the elections. JUST ASKING ???
I also had my reaction on my website.
http://chtchronicles.hollosite.com/web/news/article.php?2009,comment_1025_01
Even the DSWD officials were heartless,
Line 296 - TO SNAKE…
I admire your being calm = di katulad ni JUAN (TAMAD)…
Let me tell you one thing, at least coming from one - you will know.
I do not hate the DEPARTMENT… its the wrong doing that the people hates…sabi nga BATO BATO SA LANGIT…ANG TAMAAN WAG MAGALIT…the truth really hurts, but the truth will set us free..
naku, baka ibenta ang mga donations na yan kaya di ilalabas. anong walang volunteer na sabi ni Dr Cabral? sa nangyaring disaster, mayaman o mahirap man ay gustong tumulong. Di niya kilala tayong tunay na pinoy. daming pwede at gustong tumulong na walang ini-expect na balik . wag ismolin ang kalooban ng tunay na pinoy
Base sa interview ky Cabral sa TV at sa blog ni Ella, mas kapani-paniwala ang blog na eto. DSWD, masyado mga defensive empleyado nio. Buking na buking kakurakautan nio. Karma is on its way. Kala nio! Mga buwaya!
Ella keep writing, galing mo mgsulat.
Nasalanta kami ng bagyong Ondoy. Muntik ng umabot sa 2nd floor ng bahay namin ang tubig baha. Nung kasalukuyang na trap kami sa 2nd floor ni isang supot ng relief good walang naibato sa amin yung mga dumadaan na helicopter sa area namin. Hanggang ngayon hindi kami naambunan kahit isang lata ng sardinas, mag i isang buwan na nakalipas ang baha.
Also check other Pinoy blogger abroad who comment about expose in twitter’s world http://twittersworld.blogspot.com/2009/10/twitter-philippines-raised-dswd-relief.html
Wish ko sana iyong corrupt na lang ang abutan ng ganitong calamidad ng maramdaman nila kung paano ang mawalan.para magising sa katotohanan.di naman magstay yan sa kamay nila mark my word.paglalaruan lang ang mga taong iyan ni taning”Let’s all join to pray daily na sana madaig ng prayers natin ang kanilang masamang gawain”.
Yan na nga ba ang sinasabi ko, kapag ang donation napunta sa gobyerno, kanila na yon. Kaya naman hindi na tayo tinigilan din ng bagyo. Ang daming tao sa gobyerno, ganyan.
Kung may isang ahensya ng pamahalaan na dapat manguna sa pagtulong sa mga biktima at nasalanta ng bagyo ito ay ang DSWD, pero sa pagkakataong ito ayon sa newspapers at bloggers sa internet ang DSWD pa ang masasabing walang malasakit sa biktima gayong hawak nila ang lahat, pera, tao at mga kagamitan na kailangan sa ganitong pagkakataon.
Bakit ang nagagawa ng ABS-CBN, GMA - 7, NGO at ilang pribadong samahan ay hindi nila magawa? ang masakit pa ayon sa newspaper ang mga disbursement ng mga relief goods ay nangunguna ang mga kaalyado ng pamahalaan.
Nasaan naman ang hiya ninyo sa mga taga ibang bansa na nagpadala ng maraming donasyon sa mga biktima??? Talaga bang kasing kapal na ng adobe o hollow blocks ang mga mukha ninyo ganyan na ba ngayon ang kalakaran pag ikaw ay naka pwesto at may pagkakataon na mangurakot wag sayangin ang pagkakataon.
Bato-bato sa langit ang tamaan wag magalit !!!!!
What a shame for us Filipinos but we have to stop it and give them a lesson. Thanks for posting.
Ella i reposted your article to my blog http://twittersworld.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-good-is-grass-if-horse-is-already.html Para makarating din sa ibang kababayan natin dito sa abroad through twitters.
Can you believe what Cabral said in the news? They have proper logistical procedures? Making record is above all important than distribution? Well Cabral you do not need to pay a lot of people to do all the packing because volunteers are for free, and you have all the means to spread the word you needed some volunteers. Then even if you do pay some workers, no doubt your office can afford it. Calamity has just passed, and its the aftermath that is worst to get by because people have lost everything including their capacity to feed them selves and their families. You cannot even keep those goods for the next calamity, THAT’s THE DUMBEST THING I’VE HEARD. We all know donations keeps coming, and what your stock now should go, and be replaced by the next arrival of relief goods.
This is so sad… World’s resources just wasted… Will the Philippines’ situation ever change considering all those who run for office are doing so for personal intention? I personally know a certain politician and he admitted that he was someone with integrity. When he had joined the politics, there’s just no way to keep the integrity intact he says. What is to be done when everyone gives in to temptation? Nakakawalang gana naman mag donate kung di man lang aabot yung donations sa mga victims. Para lang akong nagtapon ng pera.
guys..yung donated goods lng nakikita nyo..eh pano yung PERANG DONATION na galing sa foreign countries…ummm san kaya napupunta yon??????
Maraming salamat, Ella.
We are praying for you that may Almighty God continue to guide you and to strengthen your resolve to bring out and to defend the TRUTH.
You are an angel!
It looks like even the latest calamities that hit our country and people did not make a dent to change the perspective of some of our political leaders to do what is right.
So, we also pray for Divine intervention for our political leaders to see the LIGHT, and to have the humility and the courage to do what is best for the people.
Your expose is a very good reminder to us, citizens, to be VIGILANT all the time, and to let the people know the TRUTH and to let these leaders know we will not take this sitting down!
The Philippine government has very limited resources to distribute the relief goods to those in need. In my view, it is not a failure of one person or entity. It is a failure of the entire government system. Secretary Cabral did her job to the best of her ability. You, as a citizen, did your job to the best of your ability. But in the end, it was not a complete success. Both of you helped those in need, and both of you should be proud of that. Calamities have hit the Philippines in the past, but still nothing has changed as to how it could lessen the devastation. The burden to help improve the government system is not upon a single person or entity, but it is upon the Filipino.
“RESERVED FOR THE NEXT CALAMITY:” WHY ARE YOU RESERVING FOR THE NEXT ONE EH, IBANG KLASENG DONATION ULI UN, ANG PARA KE JUAN AY DI PARA KE PEDRO!!! GOODMORNING SEC CABRAL AND OPEN YOUR CLOSE MIND—MAHIMBING PA ATA ANG IYUNG PAGKAIDLIP SA KATOTOHAN SA GOBEYRNO?
Walanghiya talaga ang mga naka pwesto sa gobyerno ni arroyo! tanginang mga yan, siguradong gagamitin ng mga anak ng putang hayup na mga nakapwesto ang mga IMPORTED goodies na yan sa eleksyon o sa pagkakakitaan nila. Putang ina nyong mga madarambong kayo, sana malason kayo sa kasibaan at kahayupan ninyo. Masahol pa kayo sa hayop, ang hayop walang isip pero pag kinakailangang ipagtanggol ang pamilya handang mamatay at pumatay, kayo ano? mamatay na silang lahat ng gutom basta may pera kayo? Hindot kayong lahat! Sabihin na nating ibibigay nyo sa pamilya nyo, di ba kayo nahihiya na galing sa nakaw yan? nagdurusa ba sa evacuation center mga anak nyo? Makakarma rin kayong mga dimonyo kayo. Ikakalat ko ito sa mga taong kakilala ko para makita nila at ng mga nagdo-donate kung gaano kahayop ang mga nakapwesto sa gobyernong arroyo.
Ella, thank you for sharing the truth…grabe, sana mahiya ang DSWD at bilisan na nila ang distribution ng relief goods. Saka paano pa yung milyon-milyon dolyar? saan nila dadalhin yun? naku, bigay yun ng ibang bansa para sa afflicted ng mga bagyo kaya dapat kababayan natin ang makinabang doon.
I shared your post in my facebook para makatulong sa pag-share ng nadiscover mo.
This is something that every Filipino should see and know. I have observed this as well during Ondoy where if not for the NGOs and private citizens and volunteers, walang relief goods na aabot sa mga tao. Perhaps because the funds were used up already. Now they are trying to save all the donations so come next calamity or perhaps on the election day, they can say that they have goods to liquidate funds they have misused. Pwede diba? More so, this will make it appear that the country has enough supply to feed people come what may. It sucks but I agree with the blogger. The people should know and we all have the right to see what is real. I pay taxes almost 1/3 of my salary the same as others and I deserve to see the value of whatever I pay to the government. Tsk.
Hi, this is my reaction.. etong DSWD desk na to! hindi ata naexperience mabaha at mawalan ng mga mahal sa buhay at nakukuha mo pang ngumiti sa harap ng TV! ayusin nyo mga tao nyo dyan! .. guys can you imagine kung gano kahaba ang pinipila ng isang taong humihingi ng tulong dahil nawala ang bahay nya or namatayan cya?!.. I hope DSWD would release those goods.. Magpapasko na.. napakahirap ng buhay nila… wag naman sa ganyan… calamities will always be like that, but its up to us on how we handle situations like this. Its very simple, when a person is in need. help him.. Im sure.. they will have their own burdens too.. nakakahiya kayo!
We have a GMA government which imposed itself upon us without us resisting it. As a consequence, it is holding us up to raise funds in the form of taxes as operational funds for them to be able to set-up facilities in the form of DSWD. When opportunities come like calamities thru which foreign nations including Spain– one of the biggest if not the biggest according to the article of Jarius Bondoc, send in donations, the GMA government take advantage of it to rob us again.
I love u Ella, sana lahat ng magaganda matapang na tulad mo. No offense sa hindi maganda. Hindi rin ako maganda, ha ha ha. God Bless U!
Kasi Pogi ako, ha ha ha.
ella, a lot of people have posted and seen this entry of yours. Power to the people na talaga. No one and nobody has anything to hide anymore. I-expose ang mga pangungurakot na to. Kami dito sa US kelayo-layo have tried and found ways to somehow help and donate to our affected country men, sila tong nasa pwesto and has the “power” tapos ang reason walang voluteers???!!! Lahat ng makabasa nito magpunta kaya sa warehouse na yan at pakita na marami ang magvovoluteer, para mapressure sila to distribute these goods out. Pwede mo ba i-post kung saan location nito? PEOPLE POWER!!!
Wala talagang maasahang mabuti sa gobyernong ito ni Gloria kundi inefficiency, pangungurakot!
Dapat iparating ito kay Presidente Arroyo para malaman niya ang mga anomalya na nangyayari sa mga donations na pinapadala ng mga concerned citizens. O baka naman isa rin siya sa likod ng mga anomalya na ito. Nakakahiya kayong mga officials ng DSWD. Kayo kaya ang masalanta
@AJ - SEC CABRAL HAS ALL THE POWER TO DO SO, BUT SHE DID NOT MOVE HER ASS! I’VE BEEN PART OF THE GOVERNMENT PROJECT ON LATE 90′S I KNOW THAT A DEPARTMENT SECRETARY CAN EASILY OPEN A PROJECT ON A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME ( HIRE TEMPORARY WORKERS FOR THAT PROJECT) EVEN A REGIONAL DIRECTOR CAN DO SO!!!! GOVERNMENT HAVE THE POWER AND MONEY TO GET VOLUNTEERS.
Just wanted to add another post here as well.
PLEASE TRANSLATE YOUR BLOG INTO ENGLISH! You will have foreign supporters as well about your statement. Dont worry about people telling you to be “Filipino” and whatnot, this isnt about Nationality, this is about your story of the said foreign goods not being distributed properly.
MALAMANG PAG HINDI NABUKING EH MAPAPASAMA ANG MGA IMPORTED ITEMS SA PAMASKO NG MGA EMPLYADO NILA (DSWD), LALAGAY SA CHRISTMAS BASKET–KUNWARI GALING SA GOVERNMENT, DI ALAM NG IBANG EMPLYADO NA GALING PALA SA FOREIGN DONATIONS.
To Holly_Heroes : The DSWD warehouse is located near the NAIA Centennial Terminal (DSWD National Resource Operation Center, Chapel Road, Pasay City, behind the Air Transport Office).
Translation of my 406 Post: IF NOT FOR MS. ELLA TO DISCOVER THOSE ITEMS ON THE DSWD WAREHOUSES, MAYBE IT WILL END UP AS CHRISTMAS GIFT TO ITS EMPLOYEES FOR THE COMING HOLIDAY, THEY PRETEND THAT THOSE GIFTS ARE COMING FROM THE GOVERNMENT. DSWD EMPLOYEES DID NOT KNOW THAT ITS FROM THE FOREIGN DONATIONS FOR THE VICTIMS OF TYHPOON.
Great job Ella for these info! Wow! Cabral is stupid! Mga corrupt talaga, mga walang puso! I will use one of your commenters word—mga inutil! Those relif goods were donated to the victims, they should be distributed for crying out loud!

Grabe talaga ang gobyerno natin pati sa ganitong sitwasyon walang patawad! Wala nang kaluluwa ang mga taong yan… ang malas naman ng bansa natin kasi tatagal pa ang mga buhay nyan, masasamang damo kasi eh. dibale, maKAKARMA din sila!
hmmmm, hmmmmm…….. hindi kaya utak hitler na ang mga namumuno sa ating bayan?????, yun bang pakakainin lang nila yung kakulay nila para yung mga “commoners” ay hayaan na lang na either magutom, masiraan ng bait, o kaya maghirap ng husto sa gitna ng kalamidad na ito. Hindi ko lubos maisip bakit NAPASUSWAPANG ng mga government officials natin. Pagdating naman ng eleksyon, para silang mga asong tulo laway para lang makuha ang boto nating mga Pinoy. Actually, tayong mga Pilipino, low maintenance lang e, di tayo masyadong mareklamo, kaya tuloy yang mga TARANTADONG mga nakaupo sa posisyon e namimihasa. Atakehen sana sila ng bangungot, o kaya e high blood. Kaya ako, nada akong dumidinig sa mga panawagan ng public officials, tumutulong na lang ako through some other ways. If I have helped 10 families for few days, that’s not bad, at least I knew that they got it straight and fresh. If I can do more than that, I would. Although I don’t encourage everyone to do the same, but for me that’s it. THE REASON BEHIND IS I JUST TOTALLY LOST MY CONFIDENCE TO ANYONE WHO COME UP INTO POSITION, specially those who are traditional politicians. They love the role of being the leader so much because with it comes money and fame, of course. They don’t care kung sino ang magsa-suffer, alam naman nila na tayong mga Pinoy e gagawa at gagawa ng paraan para mag survive. In fact, sometimes, I feel, we don’t really need a leader, they’re just the same as everyone else….corrupt, corrupt, and makapal ang mukha.
Whew!
nagawi lang ako dito coz I saw this on tv., I got interested and read what you wrote. Grabe…malas lang taga nang pilipinas, having leader not true to their nation. Baka naman–tong mga goods nato mabibili na natin sa ukay-ukay ilang buwan mula ngayon. Tingin ko ganon mangyayari.

Ms. Ella, tabi-tabi lang po…
@RANDY - Thanks for being understanding, in behalf of the employees of DSWD. Like I said before, I only am sadden by the people who commented without taking in consideration the feelings of the people who really are in the frontlines of the operation. Yes, the truth will set us free. I still believe that the truth will, eventually, be revealed. Nonetheless, I hope that this blog did not have any negative effect to the staff working for the Department, since they are the real workhorse of the Department. I hope that this will be a challenge to them, rather than a discouragement, to fuel their passion in serving the needing. Although their capacities have already been exhausted, I hope that they will still find the courage and strength to perform to the fullest, amidst the scrutiny being experienced by the Department.
At para po doon sa mga taong nais malaman kung paano ako nakapag-post ng comment: Nandito po ako sa bahay namin, gamit ang Internet connection na binabayaran namin ng tama at marangal. For your information lang po…
Ms. Ella, pasensya na po sa abala…
I am an employee of the DSWD Central Office. I know that the warehouses are always full. The warehouse is stocked with goods and other important foods and utensils mostly from Japan, Spain and Canada as well as food items from the World food Program of the United Nations.
The problem is inefficiency and also the attitude of Secretary Cabral. She is an elitist who thinks that the goods from abroad or stateside are only for display. para siyang nanghihinayang mamigay ng imported goods. I have not seen it but sabi ng iba inuuwi ni secretary cabral ang ibang goods sa kanyang bahay sa Ayala Alabang pati nga mga vans and suvs na binibigay ng mga donor countries ay ginagamit niya.
sa paranaque po nakatago ang mga goods na napakarami sa enroc po. enroc building sa may airport po. alam na alam ko po na napakarami pong relief na hindi pinamimigay eh bakit po kaya?
i am a graduate po of a decent school. that’s why i have rose from the ranks since i started and i love the job.
In many years that i have worked as an officer at dswd she is the secretary without a heart that’s why we call her the heartless heart doctor because she is also a heart physician.
People should now know who she really is. She is a bad person who does not care for the people but on tv and radio she smiles and talks like a motherly person but deep inside she hates the poor and many of the officers and employees do not like her but they are afraid of her because when she gets mad she will try to find a way to fire workers and we do not want to lose our livelihoods.
But going back sa problem hindi po ako magtataka na hindi na niya ipamimigay ang magagandang gamit sa warehouse dahil nanghihinayang siya dahil wala po siyang pagtingin sa aming mga low middle class at poor. Nagtataka nga kami kung bakit siya ay parang ginagalang ng mga tao. Para din hu siyang si Gloria dahil siya ay biyahe ng biyahe.
Kelan lang po nasa Switzerland siya at ang kasama niya ang kanyang pamangking mayabang at mapang api si Erdie Casas. 3 linggo po siyang nagliwaliw sa Switzerland at kailan lang nasa Brazil naman po siya at nagpapasasa at gumagasta ng milyon para sa pamasahe lang. 2 beses sa isang taon nag vacation siya sa America para makasama ang mga anak niya doon at kasama rin niya ang kanyang asawa at mga staff sa mga biyahe niya. she does not love the poor pakitang tao lang po ang kanyang ginagawa.
dapat po ay tanggalin na siya ni Gloria at ipalit na lamang ay si Usec Yangco ang tunay na mahal ng mahihirap ngunit ang alam ng lahat ay galit siya kay Yangco at ang gusto niya si Usec Pablo dahil magkapitbahay po sila sa Ayala Alabang at pareho po silang maka elitista.
Dalawang beses na hong na extend si Pablo dahil siya po ang may hawak ng pera ng Dswd at ang chismis po ay nangungupit po silang dalawa ng pera ng dswd. dapat pong imbistagahan si secretary cabral dahil ang budget ng dswd ngayon daw po ay mahigit 15 billion pesos. gusto raw ni cabral na si pablo ang maretain kasi mahahalata ang pagnanakaw niya pag palitan ng ibang usec. ang mga directors at iba pang officials ng dswd ay takot na takot sa kanya dahil palamura siya sa mga ito at talagang duwag ang mga director.
marami po sa amin ay moa workers taunan po ang renewal at pag hindi mo sundin si cabral ay hindi ka makakasweldo at hindi ka rin bibigyan ng bonus di katulad noong panahon ni mam dinky, mam lina, mam dulce at lalo na po ni sec tavera ang pinakamabait na secretaring inabot ko na po.
gagantihan po ako ni secretary cabral. baka rin niya akong ipatransfer sa ibang office ng dswd dahil may office po kami sa lahat ng region. ako po ay civil service professional kaya hindi niya ako pwedeng tanggalin pero kung nais ho niyhang gumanti ay lalagay o tatransfer po ako kahit saan niya gusto.
takot po ako sa kanya at kay erdie ang kanyang pamankin na bodyguard na mangaalipusta ng mga maliliit sa dswd. awang awa lang po ako talaga sa mga hindi nakatanggap ng relief dahil ang mga kapatid ko po ay nasalanta at ang mga pinsan ko rin. alam ko po ang hirap na pinagdaanan nila.
secretary cabral only start working in dswd after 2005 and she thinks that she own dswd like it is her own company. but she is bad even to the asecs and usecs and directors down to the janitors and clerks because she has an evil mind and no heart inside her.
Hi Makabayan, do you like your comments or appeal to be spread out around the internet? If you really like to hear your voice about this matter over your Boss.
Nakakatuwang isipin na kahit papaano ay may mga Pinoy pa ring naglalakas ng loob at hindi alintana ang kapahamakang maidudulot sa kanila sa pag expose ng kalupitan at pagnanakaw ng marami nating lider. Kahanga-hanga ang mga ipinamalas ninyong kabayanihan mga kababayan ko. Para sa akin ay isang supreme sacrifice ang ginawa ninyo. Mistulang kabayanihan ang inyong ipinakita. Sana dumami pa ang katulad ninyo. Mabuhay po kayo. At sana din ay ma-karma ang ating mga talamak na corrupt na mga lider.
I knew something would be up sa dami ng donations from around the world.. tukso eh.
I just sooo love this post. Youre so brave gurl! keep it up.
I hope this is not too late. I hope too that would be donors from around the globe would be able to read this. Please channel your donations of cash or in kind to foundations such as the GMA channel 7 foundation, ABS-CBN channel 2 Foundation, through the church organizations, through the non-government organizations (NGOs). These orgs and foundations are credible and you could trust them. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT send through government departments or agencies. Thank you very much for your support.
talaga naman! kahit sa donations marami pang red tape? kawawa naman
‘yong talagang nanganga ilangan. Hindi ba nila alam nga time is very precious to those victims. Kung na ibigay sana nila ang ang blanket or medicine kahapon sana buhay pa si Pedro, Juan …….
“Walang Volunteer” is a very lame excuse.

This is a travesty.. I am wondering what Pres Arroyo is doing to get this relief program going. It seems to me and everybody else that no one cares at the DSWD, esp the secretary herself. To make a statement such as {there are not enough volunteers} to speed up the process is just a poor excuse coming from a public servant. May God bless Secretray Cabral for her valiant efforts in helping the victims.{wink,wink}And may God bless her more for delaying the distribution of the relief goods which ultimately had resulted in so many deaths. My Kudos to this extremely compassionate human being for going above and beyond her line of duty.. ( i.e. contemplating on a business venture perhaps and reap loads of moolah.}I’ve said my piece..
to those saying they are sacrificing their families in behalf of the calamity victims, BETTER STAY AT HOME AND TEND TO YOUR FAMILIES………THERE’S NO SENSE HELPING IF YOU TALK ILL IN THE END..MY GODNESS!!!!!!
What else is new?. Once again the current Philippines government proved itself to the world their incapability, inefficiency and to put it gently, their corrupt way of running their administration. Kudos to the people who are finally opening their eyes and minds…Keep watching and please do what is needed to be done! Cabral herself is showing her ineptness. She should resign NOW!
Hi Ella -
Have you tried reporting this to NDCC? I admire you for putting this out for the world to see but I hope before you did you would have at least contacted any of those NDCC or Red Cross #s plastered across the internet. I’ll forward this to a friend who is related to someone from NDCC but part of your volunteer work is not just to repack and distribute but also to keep your eyes open.
Thanks for the report though and for volunteering for the relief efforts. God bless.
“Walang volunteers…” Naku! may bagong talent pala itong si Cabral, comedyante na pala sya! Sa Pilipinas pa? walang volunteers! naku it is a lame excuse Ms. Cabral! Wala kang puso, you are braindead! You are very incompetent, umalis ka na dyan sa pwesto mo! Hindi ka ba tinuruan ng Ina mo ng compassion? Mag-resign ka na , mahiya ka sa mundo!
This act of Dr. Cabral ay sobrang nakakahiya. DSWD, as part of the Government Agency na dapit sana ay tutulong ay sya pa ang nagtatago ng mga goods… Dr. Cabral masakit ba para sayo na ibigay ang mga Donations? Is this from your pocket/expenses? hindi naman diba?! a lot of people need this goods, so please lng po pakibigay ito sa mga nangangailangan.
How can we help this country if kapwa natin ang siya ring gahaman.
poor filipinos, napakakurakot ng ating gobyerno!..
hi ella,
i am disgusted at the government. i am glad that you published your blog on how slow moving DSWD is. I hope some movement already ensued since publishing your blog with pics of stacks of goods waiting to be distributed to our kababayans. i am very irate with the goverment. i wish i have a magic wand to make the bad ones disappear.
my group here in NY is collecting donations still and glad that it is not going to any government agency after accumulating donations.
more power,
princess
govt employee din ako, but when i read this blog, sumakit ang ulo ko and parang gusto kong murahin sa mukha niya si cabral. maraming matitinong empleyado ang dswd, but because of the incompetence of their officials/leaders (hulaan nyo kung sino), nadadamay sila. hindi matatanggal si cabral kasi favorite sya at nakikinabang sa kanya si Gloria. wake up call ito sa next leaders natin, kilatisin muna ang mga uupo sa posisyon especially sa mga departamento na ang dapat pairalin ay puso.
good work ella
Eh paano nga naman magkakaroon ng volunteers eh wala naman artista sa DSWD? Puro pasosyal naman ‘yung mga galing sa executive village dahil mismong mga bahay nila binaha. Kung hindi naman binaha mga bahay nila, they wouldn’t care.
I just hope the blogger would have been a bit responsible posting this. She should have known by now we dont want another Jacque Bermejo.

Nakapunta na ko sa DSWD Relief Operations Center sa Pasay City nung nag volunteer ako sa isang foreign-assisted relief operations. Nakita ko nga yung maraming naka-store dun na di pa nadi-distribute na naluluma lang. Pero, alam mo, Ella, hindi ibig sabihin nun na plan na kunin yung for personal sake ng mga taga DSWD. It’s just a plain reason na wala talaga nagbo-volunteer. Naramdaman din namin yun nung kami mismo nga volunteer na kakaunti lang talaga kami. Wala pa kaming 30 Filipinos na nag-voluteer, the rest Koreans to pack 2,500 bags of rice.
In my insight, marami volunteers sa mga media initiated operations like ABS at GMA. Ganun nga lang ata talaga ang mga tao, pag may media, nagbo-volunteer, kc may camera at artista. Pero pag NGO na or foreign groups na ang nag-donate, wala ganong Pilipino pumupunta. Naranasan mo na bang mag volunteer? Try to go in any DSWD center and volunteer nang maranasan mo. Hindi “komiks” yun as you said.
@rey - quick to judge without proofs - ignorance.
Magandang araw,
Hindi lang sa DSWD nangyayari yan. Sa warehouse ng mg gamot sa DOH ang daming na -eexpire na gamot. Kapag pumunta sa mga provincial health offices, walang gamot. Sa mga barrio health centers walang gamot. Pero sa mga warehouse nila nabubulok ang mga gamot.
Ang Pamahalaan ng Pilipinas ay pugad ng mga Magnanakaw!!!
@makabayan - first up. spelling is NROC. not enroc. it is not in paranaque city. punta ka na lang kaya doon kung sinasabi mo na empleyado ka.
second, did you notice that the offcials “fired” (alamin mo sa personnel kasi resigned sila di fired) eh may mga kaso sa dswd. kaya pag-aralan mo rin.
—may karugtong pa ito—

@ulysses72 - sa doh yun di sa dswd. magkaibang ahensya. magkaibang pinuno. magkaibang pamamalakad. bigyan mo rin ng ebidensya muna yan para mapanindigan mo. tsismis kahahantungan nyan pag walang pruweba.
@Lulu - responsible blogging means getting down to the bottom of this before spreading the virus. spread only valid information. get your facts straight.
@makabayan - katatawag ko lang po sa opisina ni secretary cabral. wala pong erdie doon. ay, saan mo kaya napupulot ito. tsaka kunin mo ang listahan ng byahe muna bago mo masabi na byahe nang byahe. ay sus.
@let - i think without a good leadership, the staff would not be as good. not the other way around. and there is also such a thing as working together.
@makabayan - verify mo muna sa dswd yang mga byahe ng staff ni secretary cabral.

I so agree.
I volunteered with DSWD in the same warehouse once a week in the last 3 weeks. The relief goods you posted in your blog as nabubulok and hoarded by DSWD were not there in the 1st 2 weeks I went there. I saw it only last friday 23 Octiber 2009. So, I assume those goods only arrived the week you volunteered. The volume of the goods there vary every time. Was your intention really to volunteer and help DSWD or were you just looking for a material for your blog? When we were there we only had 15 minutes lunch break and 5 minutes snack break because we imposed upon ourselves quota output. We also took pictures but only of our group working.
It is not only DSWD who rejects volunteers because they have enough. My friend and I were also rejected by ABSCBN for the same reason. FYI the military was also there helping in the repacking on the 1st week after Ondoy.
@Y - Thank you for sharing your information.
@Vigilante Dinkame - sino kakilala mo sa UNICEF. i talked to a UNICEF staff who was at the warehouse and this is not the stand of UNICEF. she said that the people were given misleading information.
@makabayan - tumawag ako uli sa dswd. si secretary cabral pumasok noong 2006, hindi 2005. ano ba ito, ako taga verify ng allegations mo. dapat nagsaliksik ka muna. eto ang sinasabi ko na dapat maging responsable naman tayo sa mga pinagsasabi natin kasi tsismis ang kahahantungan nito. di nga alam ng dswd kung sino ka, paano ka matatransfer o materminate? baka naman talaga nanganagnib ka materminate eh dahil si ka nagtatrabaho at blog ka lang?
Sad, nahuli na naman ako sa balita, just found out about this just now and trying to read all links regarding your post. Always take care of yourself friend dito lang kami mga friends mo kahit lagi akong huli sa balita.
@ bayarangella
Good job at trying to put down someone who only wanted to show us what’s going on while you spend time on the computer to defend DSWD. And for what? Ella has shown photos at the warehouse which only proves she was there. Ikaw? You cant even get a decent nickname. Seems to me you have so many connections. Nde ka kaya taga DSWD? I wonder who was paid to do something. Ella or you? Ano nga uli name mo? Bayarang Ewan!
@all comments. Pictures sometimes doesn’t tell the truth, the fact na wala na talaga nag volunteer sa DSWD na marami, hindi tulad ng sa Kapamilya at Kapuso na sinadya ng mga tao for some obvious reasons. Sisi dun, sisi dito. Tayo ba ay gumaganap sa ating tungkulin at reponsibilidad bilang mamamayan? Tayo ba ay nagbabayad ng tamang buwis o kabilang din tayo s mga mandaraya sa negosyo at pamahalaan na laging buntunan ng mura, sisi at galit. Sa mga kakulangan ng paghahanda ng lokal na pamahalaan,dapat tingnan muna natin yun sa hanay ng mga lokal na pamahalaan ang mga serbisyo na kanila sana ay ginampanan bago pumasok ang pamahalaang nasyonal. Gumising kayo mga walang budhi, mga bulag sa liwanag at bingi sa ingay. Pilipino nga kayo mentalidad ay sa talangka.
“Look before you leap”
“Don’t rush into things until you get all the facts”
“Don’t ASSUME, because it makes an ASS out of U and ME”
greetings of peace!
observation lng. kung kunti man ang volunteer sa DSWD, hndi ibig sabihin ay hindi mapagkakatiwalaan ang department. cguro dahil sa walang camera ang dswd kaya kakaunti gusto mgvolunteer compare sa ABS-CBN, GMA at ibang pang private institutions. mas gusto kasi ng iba na makunan ng camera habang nag-iimpake kasi lumalabas sa tv. pakitang tao ba (pero hndi nmn lahat ganon).
me mga bigas pa na nabubulok sa warehouse ng DSWD.. balita ko di alam ng dswd kung pano eto madispose, sobrand dami kc at namamaho na… pakivelidate na din kung totoo..
@ Makabayan - Are you really from DSWD? Why not get your facts straight? Malamang isa ka sa mga naapektuhan ng reforms that Secretary Cabral institutionalized in the Department. Malamang talaga mapapagalitan ka kasi mali maling information ang alam mo pero ang lakas ng loob mo na malaman ng iba.
ENROC talaga ha. For your info, NROC lang po iyon, walang “e” sa unahan (Shocks, kahiya hiya ka naman). At for your info ulit, sa Pasay sya matatagpuan, hindi sa paranaque. ikaw naman, malapit lang sa airport, feeling mo paranaque na agad yun. Talagang officer ka ng DSWD? Owwws? hindi nga?
Who’s Erdie Casas? Pangalan nga lang hindi mo pa nalaman ng tama, pano pa yung mga detalye sa mga bagay bagay na pinaghihimutok mo? Sabi mo officer ka? owws? talaga lang ha, hindi kapani paniwala sa mga pinagsasasabi mo. Panahon ka pa kamo ni Sec. Tavera? Bakit hindi mo alam ang kalidad ng gusto mong opisyal na ipalit kay Secretary Cabral? Bakit ENROC ang alam mo? Bakit sa paranaque ang alam mong add ng ENROC mo?
Mga vans at SUVs na foreign donated, ginagamit ni Cabral? Mapapanindigan mo ba yang paratang mo o kasing mali yan ng pagkakaspell mo sa ENROC mo?
Inuuwi ni Secretary ang imported donated goods? Sabi lang kamo sa yo ng iba? At sino namang iba yun? Baka naman mga bantay yun sa ENROC mo na nasa Paranaque, bwahahaha!!! I dare you now, kahit halughugin mo bahay ni Cabral, wala kang makikitang donated imported goods. At for your info, hindi mahilig sa imported si Secretary, mas gusto nya locally-made.
At eto lang ha, Alam mo ba kung nakailang official travels si Secretary for the year and even since 2006? ALam mo bang hindi sya gahaman sa travel coz she can afford to do that herself, hindi nya kelangan ang pera ng gobyerno para makatravel. Pinamimigay nga lang nya sa mga usecs/asecs mga travels. Yung pagpunta nya sa Switzerland, importante yun coz nagdefend tayo ng country reports at hindi lang sila nagliwaliw dun. Bigyan kita ng report ni Secretary para malaman mo. But then again, wag na lang baka hindi mo maintindihan eh, pangintelektwal na tao yung report, sayang naman ang efforts mo.
Yyung pagpunta naman sa US, personal na pera nya yun no. Wala ka nang paki doon kasi hindi naman sya nanghingi sa yo. Ano ba yun, naiinggit ka? Travel ka din na lang para di ka maiinggit. Kaya lang may visa ka ba?
Makabayan, ang natatakot lang kay Secretary ay yung hindi nagtratrabaho ng mahusay at i’m pretty sure, kasama ka na dun.
ELLA, SUGGESTION LANG SAYO. BAKIT DI KA LUMABAS SA TV AT MAGPA-INTERVIEW KUNG TOTOO YANG PINAGSASABI MO. KUNG AYAW MO LUMABAS IBIG SABIHIN HINDI TOTOO MGA BINTANG MO SA DSWD. BAKA PERSONAL NA YAN. HUWAG MU DUNGISAN MALINIS NA PANGALAN NG DSWD. KUNG WALA KANG MASABING MABUTI, TUMAHIMIK KA NLNG KASI DAPAT SA GANITONG SITUATION AY NAGTUTULONGAN HINDI NAGSISIRAAN. WALANG MAITUTULONG YANG MGA TSISMIS MO. SANA MAGLIWANAG PUSO’T ISIPAN MO.
@ Lito F. - at sino ka para magbigay ng ganyang announcement? bakit nakita mo na warehouse ng abs-cbn at gma 7 at ng mga ngos na sinasabi mo? alam mo ba kung san na napapunta ang mga donated goods that were coursed through them?
@ eryll - Nagpost lang ng photos naconclude mo na agad na andun sya? pano kung iba ang kumuha nun at binigay lang sa kanya? ni hindi nga sya kasama sa mga pictures na yun. Naku, sobrang mapapaniwalain ka naman. Mahirap ang ganyan.
ELLa’s Blog simply further emphasizes gross incompetency in government specially by politicians and their political appointees.Despite their so called credentials (maybe including those from high standard college or universities) Philippines is gravely ECONOMICALLY behind to most of its neighbors.
Nung isang araw pa ako nagbabasa ng mga comments dito eh ngayon hindi ko na mapigil ang aking sarili. ako po ay nakatira sa katarungan village sa antipolo. 5 araw po bago humupa ang tubig sa amin na umabot hanggang dibdib. sa bubong lang po kami ng tagal na iyon at sa sawing palad namatay po ang aking ina sa gutom at sa lamig - siya po ay may gulang na 66 at malakas pa po siya bago siya nagkasakit at linagnat ng pangalawang araw hanggang siya ay pumanaw. sabi ko po sa sarili ko ay ito ay kagustuhan ng Poong Maykapal at dapat ko lang tanggapin kahit napakapait. Sabi po sa amin ng mga Couples for Christ na sumaklolo sa amin ay namatay daw ang aking ina dahil sa kawalan ng tubig, pagkain at pulmunya na po ang sanhi. Ngunit noong nakita ko po ang mga litrato ng mga banig, twalya, pagkain na gabundok ang dami sa dswd ay nanginig po ang aking laman sapagkat mayroon naman pala ang gobyerno ng sapat at sobra sobrang pagkain at gamit eh bakit hindi nakarating sa amin eh hindi naman kalayuan ang katarungan village tabi lang po ito ng masinag market. kaya tinataga ko sa bato na ang puot at galit ko sa pinuno ng dswd ay sukdulan at gagawa ako ng lahat ng magagawa ko na makaganti sa pinuno nitong si cabral. Esperanza Cabral kaputaputahang ina mo napakawalanghiya mo dapat mamatay ka na rin! Magkikita pa rin tayo! Hayop ka - gutom na gutom na kami at kinakain namin ay cardboard sa maginaw na bubong samantalang nakatambak na parang bundok ang mga para sa aming biktima! Putang ina mo kaputaputahang ina mo at sana mamatay ka na! Hayop ka pinatay mo ang aking ina! Wala kang puso sa maliliit tulad namin, ang kapal ng muka mo tinanggap mo pa yang trabahong iyan! PUTANG INA MO!
@lito manresa - sir, bago po kayo magkomento ng ganyan, mas mainam po na alamin natin na ang social services po ay hindi lahat nakalagak sa DSWD national office. ang kanya-kanyang munisipyo/ciudad/probinsya ay may sariling mga social welfare offices na syang DAPAT nauunang tumugon sa mga pangangailangan ng mga mamamayan. kung di kayo naabot ng relief assistance, ipagpaalam nyo ito sa regional office o national office, kasi sa tingin ko di na nakayanan ng LGU nyo sa dami ng nangangailangan. ang tawag po dito ay DEVOLUTION OF SOCIAL SERVICES.
mas maigi po munang tanungin ninyo ang inyong LGU kung saan nila ipinamigay na goods nila na galling sa dswd. salamat po.
@lito manresa - kung sa pagtaga mo ng bato, nataga din sana yang utak mo para magkalaman! ALAMIN MUNANANG TAMA ANG KATOTOHANAN!
Who are u para ganun agad magconclude sa isang bagay na d mo pa tlaga napapatunayan. In the first place, sang araw ka lang nagvlolunteer, nkapagjump ka na sa isang conclusion???? para sirain ang isang departamentong tanging layunin ay tulungan ang mga tao… GUMAWA KA MUNA NG RESEARCH AT IPRESENT MO MUNA EBIDENSYA MO, BAGO KA MAGHUSGA !!!!
@Lito Manresa: With deepest symphaty to you. Alam na natin na ang gobyerno ng Pilipinas ay corrupt, mga walang silbi, mga braindead, mga walang puso. I mourn with you-losing a love one is the most painful thing. Hayaan mo alam na ng mundo na si CABRAL na BOSS ng DSWD AY REYNA NG MGA BRAINDEAD! She will get her fair share of KARMA, hopefully soon. Galit sila kay Ella dahil na-expose na nya ang baho ng DSWD (hindi naman lahat ng taga DSWD. Pero, kung kayo rin na employees ay may alam na anomalya, LET YOUR CONCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE–SPEAK OUT!
kUNG gusto mo talagang patunayan , magpainterview ka…. kahit umabot pa sa Senado, tngnan natin kung ano ang lalabas na katotohanan???????????? Maghanap ka na ng ebidensya? Sa tingin mo sasapat ang picture na isang araw mo lang kinunan??? mag-isip ka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sweet ..TUTA ka ba ni cabral? halata eh..kung di ka tuta..sepsep buto cguro bwahahaha!!! aw! bow wa waw!
@Taga Canada - there are other angles of this issue. it is not fair that you will conclude and agree with the negativity. we can always spread more vital information to help know the truth.
cabral: fetch the stick sweet..fetch it..hurry!
sweet: aw! aw! yes master!
bwahahaha tuta pala sya…
Kapal ng mga mukha ng mga linta sa DSWD. Systema ng mga magnanakaw, KABAL ibigay mo na share ng mga linta mo.
KA lito manresa!
Ako ay taimtim na nakikiramay sa iyo, at sa iyong pamilya alam ko ganun din ang ibang mga kababayan natin na makakabasa ng iyong comment. Hindi namin lubos mararamdaman ang iyong pighati, ngunit kami ay nakikiramay sa iyo.
Patungkol naman sa mga RELIEF GOODS ng DSWD, Hindi ko alam yung buong kwento, ngunit ang alam ko bilang dating VOLUNTEER din. Ay mahirap talagang makahanap ng mga volunteers ang DSWD dahil kung baga walang sila Brand ng Volunteerism dahil sila ay government agency, ganoon din sa America, mga sundalo ang naghahatid ng relief goods dahil kulang din sa tao.
Kahit ako mismo, ay isang Boy Scout noon, at kasali sa rescue and relief noong baha sa Butuan. Ay napunta lamang sa DSWD upang maghatid ng mga SAKO-SAKONG bigas sa Dump Truck (300 sacks). Isipin mo 17 years old noon pinagkatiwalaan nila na pumirma at maghatid ng ilang Dump Truck ng bigas. Ganoon sila kakulang sa tao at ganoon din ang kanilang tiwala sa mga BOY SCOUTS.
Noong ako’y nasa kolehiyo ako ay VOLUNTEER ng RED CROSS.. Ni minsan hindi inisip na mag volunteer sa DSWD dahil hindi ko nararamdaman ang NOBLILITY NG VOLUNTEERISM DOON, malamang dahil nga sila ay government agency. Halos lahat ng mga tao doon ay sinasahuran, sa RED CROSS puro volunteers talaga.
Ang aking suggestion na lamang po sa DSWD ay makipag coordinate sa mga established CIVIC GROUPS at RED CROSS na may mga tao at kapasidad na maghatid na tulong. At sa kanila na lamang idaan ang mga relief goods, ngunit dapat may mga representaive ng DSWD na kasama. Kung baga magiging CONDUIT na lamang or CLEARING HOUSE ang DSWD. At sa gayon hindi narin nakikipag kompetensya ang DSWD sa mga NGO’s NGUNIT nakikipag COLLABORATE sa kanila….
Yoon lamang po ang akin…
dalawa pla silang tuta..si allaboutlove yung isa…daming askal ni cabaral dito ah..bwahahahaha
Ito pa mga ka Baranggay, hindi kasali Baranggay Magnanakaw. Kaya pala Nationwide state of calamity, eh gagawin nationwide nakawan. Nag release ang LGU sa Cotabato ng 1.5 million. tapos hanggang ngayon wala pa sa DSWD. Hindi naman talaga makakarating iyan sa DSWD. Para sa mga kapartido ni Gloryang Daga para elekson. Mga tanga.
This blog is so popular that this article is published in filipino newspaper in California. Haha, wow. This is popular!
Let this be a lesson to learn for everybody, especially the Government agencies, regardless of whether it is true or not, it only proved one thing. That information is no longer in the hands of some Elite families like GOZON’s or LOPEZ’es, which can be twisted and presented in any angles we want, based on the inclination of the owner.
The people regardless of age or education can become empowered through blogging. This is now the future of the information highway, as blogger’s we have the same weight of responsibility as with the ABS-CBN or GMA. Pinadami lang natin ang ABS-CBN at GMA.
Unlike in the TV outlet, any articles posted in the blog will exist as long as we can imagine, and this incident even 3 years from now will still receive comments from readers, whether it may be good or bad. That is how blogging can influence information.
Our goal is not to destroy each other but to collaborate with one another, this incident should become a lesson to all of us that bloggers are just around the corner, and that any misdeeds will never be excused. Thus, a new CHECK and BALANCES has come.
The end Goal???
THAT ALL OF US, WHETHER BLOGGERS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, PRIVATE ENTITIES and INDIVIDUALS MUST BECOME RESPONSIBLE MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY.
Though there might be some truth on what you said, I find your post really irresponsible. Nag-jump ka kaagad into conclusion. Did you ever bother to ask DSWD personnels about it. Clearly, you have no idea on the process and procedures on releasing the relief goods. Baka nga bago dating lang yung mga items na nakita mo dun eh.
Sadly, it appears to me that you went there not to volunteer but to get some scoop and make this juicy story. Now, you got what you want (it even downed your shared-hosting account) with tons of traffic. Congratulations.
As of now, I don’t think we need another nagmamagaling. Napaka-insensitive ng post na ito para sa mga taong nagpapakahirap. Sa palagay ko, isang beses ka lang pumunta dun para mag-”volunteer”. Yung mga empleyado dun, araw-araw. Ang dali gumawa ng puna, di ba?
@coca_cola187 - this is why i support the call for responsible blogging!
@FluppyBunny - that is why we need to spread more valid information rather than just photos showing goods (which are really meant to be stored in a warehouse).
@ALLABOUTLOVE:
hard to take it huh? The news is out there now Darling. At least the Filipino people are now opening their eyes and minds distinguishing what is/are needed to be told. THERE SHOULD BE AN OPEN DOOR POLICY when it comes to governing!
Just look at Cabral’s reaction…, so lame!
Encourage natin lahat ng kababayan na sa NGO’s (GMA, ABS-CBN, Red Cross, etc. etc.) na lang magpadala ng tulong or tayu-tayo na lang. Kayang-kaya nating dayain ang tax na yan, katulad ng pandaraya nila. Maraming paraan para hindi tayo magbayad ng buwis. Hindi ko na iisa-isahin. Bahala and gobyerno mabuang at maloka kakaisip. Or kung talagang hindi maiiwasan, at least konti lang ang mababawas kesa naman sa talagang walang makarating na tulong sa mga kawawang kababayan natin. Huwag kayo mawalan ng pag-asa, naniniwala akong may katapat na kaparusahan ang lahat ng mga pang-aabuso nila, pasasaan din at mamatay din sila!
meron na bang nakatikim nung imported na pork and beans?? or yung coleman mats. mga taga DSWD post naman kayo ng outbound goods nyo na kasama yung mga imported na yun, napagtyagaan nyo ngang istack ng pagkataas taas yung mga imported goods eh, ang isang fast moving goods di na dapat iniistack ng mataas kasi fast moving nga, para mabilis sya ma process.
so ano mga taga region 1 and II. sino sa inyo meron pork and beans. ay yung mga taga rizal na lang?? pakita naman ng relief nyo na may kasamang imported…
…seen one of the areas in Rizal thru TFC which is affected by typhoon “Ondoy” and until now naghihirap pa rin ang mga nakatira roon. Almost a month na dumaan ang bagyo and that relief goods should be thier salvation. Pero naka imbak lang sa bodega? what the heck is happening….bigay na nga ng ibang bansa, gusto pang kurakutin….GRAVEHHH kayong nasa gobyerno. As per yahoo news, the cash donation itself reaches 150 billion dollars. Magkano lang kaya ang mapupunta sa tao at magkano mai bubulsa ng gobyerno?
Ella na binansagang maganda, Sa tanang buhay ko na nasilayan ko ang ahensyang DSWD, wala na akong nakikitang layunin nila kundi ang tumulong sa nakararami, kesehodang abandunahin ang sariling pamilya para sa ibang tao. In fairness sa nakakaraming kawani ng DSWD di matatawaran ang sakrificio at paglilingkod sa kapwa.
IKAW KAYA MISS ELA, MAY NAGAWA KA NA BA SA KAPWA MO. PAKIUSAP PAG ARALAN MO ANG RULES OF WAREHOUSING AND STOCKING, YOUR ACCUSATIONS TO THE DSWD IT SELF IS BASELESS. THE DONATED GOODS BEING COURSED THROUGH TO THIS AGENCY WERE BEING TAKEN CARED OFF SO THAT THIS GOOD WILL BE IN GOOD CONDITIONS WHEN THIS WILL BE GIVEN TO THE CLIENTS NEEDING THE COMMODITIES. THEY ARE NOT BEING STOCKED FOR ANY SELFISH MOTIVES. IF YOU WANT YOU CAN GO FROM TOWN TO TOWN AND ASKED YOURSELF AND WHO EVER DICTATING YOU PUT DSWD IN HOT SEAT. DO YOUR FAIR SHARE. THE WHOLE PHILIPPINES NEEDS TO BE REBUILD BUT HOW CAN WE IF THEIR IS THIS ONE ELLA WHO SEEMS TO BE SO POETIC THAT ALLEGED SHE HAS DONE MUCH SO DEGRADE THE AGENCY WHO UNSELFISHLY REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE WITHOUT PUBLICITY. THEY (THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AT DSWD) WHO WORK SILENTLY TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL ARE NOT EVEN DEMANDING FOR PUBLIC APPLAUSE BUT ONLY SIMPLE SMILE WILL SUFFICE THE SACRIFICES THEY’VE DONE FOR THEIR CONSTITUENTS.
BEFORE LOOKING AT DSWD WHY NOT TRY TO LOOK AHEAD. BEFORE DSWD THERE ARE OTHERS IN THE FRONTLINES. PLEASE TO ALL WHO HAVE DECLARED THEIR JUDGEMENT BE FAIR.
