imho. money triggers everything. kung may pera and resources ang pilipinas, madali lang yan. i am not blaming the ofw who wrote this, but again, imho, the preparations and plans for the evacuation process has been made even after the initial rockets have been fired. in fact, i've read that cimatu was there during that time to assess the situation. kung may resources lang sana pilipinas, it could have been easier by just sending a cargo plane there for just to ferry out those trapped to the nearest country, which i think is turkey, pero wala. what happened is that since wala tayong ganung gamit, we can only rely on charity on other countries or the private sector just to do it (like Philippine Airlines chartering a flight out for free, carrying these passengers back to Manila). what was being done is coordination from DFA to the Philippine Embassy in Beirut to just coordinate everything, which includes bus transfer to Syria. While other countries like the US directly went down to pick-up their citizens by military cargo planes and ships, our citizens, unless it gets help from the private sector or from other countries, will just have to while their time in a neutral country (as refugees) until hostilities cease.
yes, i agree with you the evacuation plans should have been prepared. in fact, evacuation plans should have been prepared, not just for the Lebanon crisis, but for other middle east countries which are also vulnerable to these situations (like Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, etc.) but in reality, plans are plans. implementation of these plans are different from what you see in paper. and plans, if they are not backed-up with the proper resources, are bound to just stay as plans.
yung barkong sinasabi mo? saan mangagaling yun? may barko ba tayo na ganung kabilis tumakbo from manila to lebanon? kaya ba ng super ferry yan? kung kaya ng super ferry yan, private sector yan and the best thing that the private sector can do is just to offer their facilities and equipment. pero on the point of view of the private sector, walang profit dyan. so the government will just have to rely on diplomacy and its relations with the countries who have resources, which is the best thing that can be done on tense situations like that. kung ngayon pa lang tayo maghahanap ng private sector donors, malamang tapos na ang giyera dyan, wala pa ring nag-vovolunteer dyan.
i am not a pro-gma too, nor i am a supporter or desciple of mazda2, but you have to have facts first before saying as such items as you've posted. not to offend you, but you have to look also at the other side before you react to something. another piece of advise.... hwag mong masyadong i-seryoso ang buhay... life is too short for you for you not to enjoy it.
peace bro....
