If Ebola reaches the Philippines, you'll know who to blame...

i caught Noli de Castro's show on DZMM's TV channel, and he was talking to an OFW who is working/worked at a mining company in Sierra Leone. The OFW bragged that the salary was so good, he had no trouble raising all his 7 kids. On top of that, he gets a vacation every 2 months so he can keep in touch with his family.

Then Noli replied that maybe the PH gov't shouldn't be banning OFWs from going to these countries -- i.e. politically unstable, with ongoing wars, or impending pandemics -- since the pay and leave benefits are good. So he's saying, go to a country with an Ebola outbreak right at its borders, risk spreading the pandemic here and let the ill-equipped government deal with the fallout. In the meantime the French government has asked Air France to suspend flights to Freetown, Sierra Leone's biggest city(link) Simply amazing.

Sigurado ako, this will make twisted sense to some of his listeners. And sigurado ako, pag tinamaan tayo ng Ebola, he'll be one of the first people who will go on air and blame the government for this.

Utang na loob, somebody please describe the Ebola threat to him before he goes on air again.
