Ako eto lang, noh…

1. Maraming aid ang dumarating for relief and rescue operations of Yolanda/Haiyan victims. Dasal ko lang sana makarating lahat iyon sa kinauukulan. Nakikinig ako kanina ng press briefing ni Sec. Almendras. Sabi niya ia-accounting daw nila sa publiko ang mga nakalap na donations for our scrutiny. And that the government will encourage the private organizations who are gathering their own funds to do the same. Sir, aasahan namin ‘yan, ha.

2. There are very real difficulties the government faces in carrying out these operations. These are men we are talking about. Men. They are not superhuman, they possess no superhuman powers. Maaaring para sa iyo kulang ang ginagawa nila. Oo alam na nating lahat ‘yan. So what’s new ‘ika nga? Pero hindi nakakatulong na ngumangawa ka sa lack of competence nila. There’s more to relief and rescue operations than getting the goods to those who need it. Mag-volunteer ka kaya, no? O mag-donate ka na lang ng pambili ng mga kung ano ano kung ayaw mo lumayo sa computer at wifi mo.

3. Maraming devastated sa kalamidad na ito. Of course, life goes on. Maaaring hindi ka apektado. Unang una, malayo ka sa tinamaan ng bagyo. Pangalawa, wala kang kamag-anak o kaibigan na taga-roon. Pero malamang marami kang kaibigan na may mga kamag-anak o kaibigan din na in one way or another naapektuhan – they were trapped, they are traumatized, they have family members they lost, at marami pang iba. Let’s all practice a little sensitivity. Hindi ko hinihiling na makiluksa ka kung hindi mo naman feel. Pero mangilin ka naman. ‘Wag masyadong chirpy at ‘wag masyadong ipakita sa mundo na wala kang concern kundi ang paborito mong celebrity.

Sama-sama tayo dito. Bangon Pilipinas! Tindog Visayas!
