Food riots break out in Malabon

MANILA, Philippines - Malabon City officials are advising private groups doing their own relief operations in the city to coordinate with city officials to avoid food riots that occurred in two barangays over the weekend.

“We sincerely thank them for their unselfish efforts but there has to be a system,” Mayor Canuto Oreta said, adding that they have police and soldiers to assist the groups “in the conduct of an efficient and orderly relief distribution.”

The STAR found that rival networks GMA-7 and ABS-CBN tried to distribute relief goods, only to have them snatched by residents.

City information chief Bong Padua told The STAR yesterday that GMA-7 personnel were mobbed as they were distributing relief goods over the weekend.

“There was a commotion. The residents jumped into the van and grabbed the relief goods. When the crew closed the van, they pounded on the vehicle, forcing them to withdraw,” Padua said.

Hindi naman ata tama yang attitude na yan.

There were some reported incidents that some of those present at the relief operations are not really residents of the area and just looking for freebies...

Dapat talaga may crowd control. May umaayos ng pila.

Sa mga news footages, kagulo talaga. Hinahagis na lang yung mga goods sa mga tao. Hindi dapat ganun.

^^ Si mel tiangco pa naghahagis. Nasa helicopter siya tas mga tao humahabol sakanya habang siya naghahagis ng relief goods.

Tama ! Dapat may pila. Ang wala sa pila hindi bibigyan ng relief goods, dapat ganun, para maayos.
