US military rations sold in Makati mall raise possibility of Yolanda aid diversion

Pakusap lang, if you see anyof these at your suking tiangge, pls report(anonymously if preferred) to your favorite news agency.

i hope they trace where the MREs came from. Then strand them in the middle of Tacloban.


US military rations sold in Makati mall raise possibility of Yolanda aid diversion

[111prez]

AFAIK, pre-Yolanda palang nag bebenta na ng MREs

Madami sa Zamboanga nyan as there is a regular US military presence there

Baka galing Zambo ang mga ito o baka may enterprising na US Army Quartermaster dyan

I remember some months back, LSB was asking me to check out a place for surplus US MREs.

[Monseratto]

Tagal na available mga MREs sa Cash and Carry. Pati mga PX stuffs and **** Magazines...

[foresterx]

true, before pa ng yolanda nag kalat bentahan ng us mre's. pero kasi sa mga gunstore din sa us nag bebenta ng mga mre's kahit mga gunstore websites check niyo lang dami ka na makikita.

Sa Marina Arcade sa Dau, Pampanga, marami din nagbebenta ng MRE. Just bought some a few months ago.

the ones you can buy on a website walang naka sulat na not for resale. pero locally since dami supplies iniiwan ng kano pag dumadalaw mga sundalo nila dito talagang na bebenta yan, pati nga mga uniform/bulletproof vest/gun magazines/holsters meron ka din mahahanap.

[yebo]

dami nyan nagkalat, before ondoy pa. iniiwan kasi ng mga kano mre's nila pag may war games/training sila sa pinas. ayaw nila kainin, mas gusto nila yung luto ng pinoy quartermaster na adobo at sinigang. so ibibigay nila sa mga pinoy na sundalo, e syempre ipagbibili naman sa tiangge.

di lang mre, pati bala at baril meron if you know where to look. yung ammo nasa kahon pa, may tatak ng US Army or Marines. I was able to buy six 20-round boxes of 5.56 two years ago.

[badkuk]

hmm ganun ba? Baka "false positive" lang yung news report. Sorry po :p

sa akin din may binebenta dati colt m4 enhanced with night vision pa 100k lang binebenta sa akin nung kausap ko na SAF na nakasama daw siya sa balikatan at iniwan sa kanya ng us marines, sisi ako nung di ko kinuha kasi nalaman ko nasa 250k pala ang price non tapos yung night vision na naka kabit eh 120k. meron pa isa colt m16a3 w/ grenade launcher pa 100k lang din binebenta sa akin pero nakaka takot kunin kasi may grenade launcher.

[Monseratto]

Pati Cartimar sa Pasay meron. Ginagawang issue lang... And I think the Yolanda ration packages from the US are packaged with USAID on them, not US Military. Yung mga extreme Airsofters mahilig sa MREs, feeling military daw...





I doubt if the "Not for Resale" in enforceable outside the US...

[cast_no_shadow]

Ano ba lasa nun? May nakatikim na senyo?

May nagbebenta, ang tanong may bumibili ba?

For me enticing lang yan kung emergency cases like wala ng makain.

Pero yung makakakita ako sa tindahan/mall on a regular day? Parang i'd say no.

Lasang Dinty Moore. Lasang maraming preservatives.

I bought some a few months back out of curiosity. Tried 2 packs, did not liked them. I just put the others in my
4x4 rig for emergency when we go offroading.

Although reprehensible, baka may practical reason ito, kung totoo man

Most people in the provinces would rather eat sardines and dried fish than corned beef

Kahit ilatag nyo pa ang Kobe Beef sa mesa, mas kukunin pa ng iba yung daing at tinapa

That's true with our househelp. Even if they eat what we eat, they still ask to buy dried fish as that's what they want.

But if sadyang, pinapalitan ng mga in-charge ng pag distribute ng relief goods... that's very sad.

Lasang keps daw sabi ng friend ko. Ano ba yung keps na yun?

Hindi naman daw lasang keps... sabi sa akin ng isang friend ko.


I tried one before, as in back in the early 90s pa (MREs from Clark/Subic). Walang lasa and it was pretty dry. It's really not meant to be a good meal but rather to provide one with the the needed nutrition during emergencies I'd assume.

Yan ba yun binebenta dati sa anegeles? Yun andyan pa US bases? It comes in chocolate brown colored plastic, then meron chocolate, crackers, meron pa nga yata matches eh.. We used to have that when we were kid binibili sa Angeles for us kids to eat/play with isa song Laging binibili namin eh yun blanket ng US military yun green na magaspang.
