NOYNOY,GUMISING KA TACLOBAN UPDATE! 1. After Typhoon Yolanda struck, the Mayor of Tacloban requested the NDRRMC (National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council) to make a “RESPONSE OVERKILL” on the rescue and relief operations. Unfortunately, the response from the National Government was very cold and half hearted. 2. On Day 2 of Typhoon Yolanda aftermath, the Mayor requested the NDRRMC to deploy 2 Marine Battalions to help immediately establish peace and order and rescue/relief operations. Unfortunately, this plea for help was unheeded by the National Government. 3. After almost a week, the National Government sent only Bureau of Fire Protection and MMDA (Metro Manila Development Authority) personnel. The Mayor requested for Philippine National Police reinforcement since only around 25 policemen were left for duty out of 280 plus police force. Unfortunately, this plea for help was again unheeded. 4. The Mayor again requested the National Government for trucks and transportation since they got even the remaining patrol cars but this plea was again unheeded. 5. The Mayor requested the National Government to put more vehicles and personnel for cadaver retrieval but up to now only 4 trucks from the National Government are doing this. Only 8 trucks from the National Government are doing relief work. Tacloban is now reeking from the smell of death and relief operations are still moving at a snail’s pace. 6. All relief goods arriving at the airport and seaport are now being controlled by the National Government. 7. To add insult to injury, the Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary (Mar Roxas) wants the Mayor of Tacloban (Alfred Romualdez) to write a formal letter to Philippine President Noynoy Aquino supposedly to inform him that he could no longer function as Mayor, thereby surrendering authority to the DILG Secretary (Mar Roxas). 8. He wants the letter soon so that President Noynoy Aquino can make the announcement and perhaps justify the government’s slow and stupid response to this disaster and lay the blame on the Mayor of Tacloban, Alfred Romualdez. 9. The International Community is fully aware of the deplorable conditions in Tacloban but the National Government is still in denial. SPREAD THIS AROUND!
