Earthquake In Bohol and surrounding provinces

[vinj]

Something for those in Metro Manila to think about: Bohol quake can kill over 50,000 in Metro Manila - study | Nation, News, The Philippine Star | philstar.com

It's scary indeed. If you look at what happened in Bohol, the place is pretty much low density and you already had over 100 fatalities. Imagine the exponential factor if this happened in a high density area such as Metro Manila.

We're not prepared to deal with such events.

If the epicenter were to be on the Marikina Fault, siguradong daming casualties.

Here's a mapping of earthquakes in the country. Scary as there seems to be no recorded major movement in the Valley fault system in the last 500 years.

We're blessed with a lot of natural resources yet cursed with a lot of natural disasters. It's all part of being in the "Pacific rim of fire". The sad this is we can't make proper use of our resources and at the same time we don't know squat on how to deal with disasters.

Our biggest curse are the goverment offcials and politicians that this country have. I wonder when will "kamatayan" start calling them and better start with all the senatongs.

Attitudes like this is what cursed this country more and these are the very same people they elected and trust to govern. Surely their keeping it and bring it out during election period and put their facking names on it. That is if there's still constituents left after this aftermath.

Yan na yata katuparan ng mga sinabi noon ni dating president Quezon na he'd rather see a government runs hell by a filipino kaya daming may sungay sa gobyerno:evillaugh:****:

Mayor drives out Red Cross workers distributing quake aid

MANILA - Maribojoc, Bohol Mayor Leoncio Evasco defended Tuesday his decision to drive out Red Cross volunteers who were distributing relief goods to quake victims in his town.

The Red Cross has accused the mayor of insisting on turning over the relief goods to the local government, which the group opposed because it is against Red Cross policy.

Evasco, however, said he was only after the fair distribution of the relief goods since some families were getting more than their share.

He also appealed for understanding, saying he has no intention of taking credit for the relief goods since it is his last term as mayor.

"What I didn't like is they just came in and we were not given the opportunity to discuss the mechanism on how to do it...At that time we could not produce the list on our own because we were tied up in responding to the needs, people are dying, people need food... Yung tatay pumila, yung nanay pumila, yung anak pumila. A lot of people were disenfranchised, and I said if we keep doing this magkakagulo, nagkagulo nga," he said.

"So I said if you insist on doing this, better stop and get out of this place."

Philippine Red Cross secretary-general Gwendolyn Pang, meanwhile, explained they follow a strict criteria in selecting beneficiaries because they don't have enough relief goods for all residents. She said the Red Cross has its own list of beneficiaries in the quake-hit areas.

She said they have to be accountable to their donors.

"Yung ie-entrust namin yun goods hindi pwede yun kasi pagbalik natin sa Manila, tatanungin ng donors: 'Saan nyo dinala yun goods?' Di namin masasagot yun," she said.

"Very important talaga na kami mismo...nakavalidate sa listahan namin, sinong pamilya ang tumanggap at pipirma sila."

Oo nga,- kung may concern man siya sa distribution,- pakiusapan na lang niya ang Red Cross na i-consider na lumipat ng ibang barangay sa bayan niya....

At least mas kakaunti ang magugutom....

Pero, dahil sa ginawa niya,- gutom silang lahat!!! Hayyyyy!!!!

I heard Karen Davila and Vic Lima's interview of Mayor Evasco and the guy is a pr!ck.

Davila makes a good point when she asked by what authority can the Mayor prevent relief work being done or goods distributed to calamity stricken areas? Nag-dahilan at nag-magaling pa 'tong si Evasco na merong sistema na superior pa ata sa ginagawa ng Red Cross (an organization which has been doing this since before Evasco came to be).

He's being an opportunist in having the relief goods left to him and his barangay captains for distribution. Who's to say na hindi niya babawasan yan? O hindi kaya ilan lang ang pagbigyan? Pag iniwan ng PRC or anumang NGO ang relief goods sa kanya, eh sigurado campaign material ang isasalpak sa packaging bago ipamigay.

Dapat kasuhan to ng unjust vexation and grave coercion.
