Korina Sanchez allegedly made a comment today on her morning radio show about Anderson Cooper‘s Tacloban reporting on Yolanda recovery coverage on Wednesday, November 13, 2013.

Cooper, a CNN news anchor is currently in Tacloban, Leyte for a special coverage of super typhoon “Yolanda” aftermath. According to him, there’s “No evidence of organized relief and rescue operation around Tacloban. I haven’t seen much of relief effort, I haven’t seen a large military presence.”

The radio announcer reacted to the reports on her morning radio show DZMM. She said Cooper doesn’t know what he is talking about. Sanchez is the wife of DILG Sec. Mar Roxas who has been appointed to lead the rescue and relief operation in Tacloban.

Mas credible si Anderson because he is on the site. While Korina meh! This is to show how unreliable our goverment is. Puro kasi pasikat lang. Thats why i've always donate to the Philippine Red Cross everytime i go home on vacation.

Nagpunta ba si Korina sa Tacloban? Parang dito lang sya sa Maynila.

I really love how these CNN interviews further exposes our officials' incompetence and buffoonery.

But hey, we reap what we sow. So when the next Yolanda-esque calamity hits Metro Manila, we're all on our own. Maybe in the chaos afterwards we could actually hang some of these thieves.

Wag na kasi siya umepal. Ayan tuloy, ang sama ng tingin ng tao sa kanya ngayon. Tsaka dapat wag na siya maging newscaster o magbalita pa. Purely biased talaga ke Mar yun style niya eh.

Navy Admiral Harris of US Pacific Command ordered to activate USNS Mercy for the Philippines


PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, directed the activation of the hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) Nov. 13 to be ready to support ongoing disaster relief efforts in the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan.

Berthed in San Diego, USNS Mercy has been in a reduced operating status, which is normal for a hospital ship. Harris' activation order accelerates Mercy's ability to attain full operating status to include moving necessary personnel and equipment to the ship.

If ordered to deploy, Mercy would get underway in the next several days and could arrive in the Philippines sometime in December, joining other U.S. Pacific Fleet units already supporting Operation Damayan.

Hay PNoy. President Aquino: Local government response failed - CNN.com Video

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

he doesnt \get it

blaming it on LGUs doesnt make him look less bad

typical pinoy trait of not taking responsibility, passing blame

in the eyes of the world he is the head of the Phil. govt so whatever the Phil. govt does or doesnt do reflects on him

Amanpour asked Aquino re typhoon Yolanda could define his presidency

she was drawing a parallel to Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina Left a Mark on George W. Bush?s Presidency - US News and World Report

Botching Katrina. It was a disaster at every level. But in political terms, the government's failure to respond effectively to Hurricane Katrina in the late summer of 2005 was Bush's biggest setback at home. "Katrina showed he is incompetent," says Howard Dean, outgoing chairman of the Democratic National Committee. "Before Katrina, everyone, including America's friends and enemies, believed if something awful happened in the world, you could call in the Americans and they'd fix it." The government response to the hurricane, which devastated New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast, ruined that reputation, Dean argues.

Bush seemed slow off the mark as millions of people suffered, and he created a lasting image of isolation when the White House released photos of him, a solitary figure in his cushy seat, looking out a window on Marine One at the hurricane devastation far below. He also made a huge mistake when he praised Michael Brown, the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with a now infamous attaboy—"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job"—even though the agency was botching the disaster response, adding to the impression that Bush was out of touch.

White House advisers say the blame for the poor Katrina response must be shared by the federal, state, and local governments, especially in dealing with the hurricane-related problems in New Orleans. Bush defenders add that he was correct not to visit the disaster sites immediately because to do so would have greatly complicated the relief efforts on the ground.

More substantively, Bush refrained from having the federal government immediately take over the relief effort even when it became clear that the state and local governments in Louisiana were not up to the job. His aides say Bush was guided here by his experience as governor of Texas and his belief that such matters are best left to lower-level officials. "For him, it was a question of usurpation of power," says a former senior adviser. But his failure to act while thousands of desperate people, unable to find food or water, were appealing for help on national television erased his image as an effective decision maker.

nasira si Bush sa response niya sa Hurricane Katrina

Amanpour was telling Aquino baka ganyan din mangyari sa kanya

he didnt get it

Tanga sya... BOBO paano nya maiintindihan lahat na lang kailangan ifeed sa kanya.

hindi organized ang pamimigay nang pagkain nang dswd... as in walang road map tira lang tira.

magbabagsak ka lang nang sakong sakong pagkain sa isang lugar tapos bahala na sila. Tan Ina mag uunahan yan at kawawa ang wala doon hindi mabibigyan.

[uls]

his mind was too focused on protecting himself / shifting blame

sa umpisa palang Amanpour asked him how he felt after seeing the damage but he didnt answer it

at least 1 sentence lang "i was devastated" pero wala

all i heard thoughout the interview was LOCAL GOVERNMENT LOCAL GOVERNMENT

ang impression ko kay PNoy hindi niya kaya mag empathize

parang kahit anong grabe at sama ang nangyari sa ibang tao hindi niya kaya ilagay ang sarili niya sa place ng ibang tao

kung ang nanonood lang sa TV naiiyak sa nangyari pero tingin ko walang effect kay PNoy

masyado siya detached sa reality. parang may sariling mundo siya

it just so happens presidente siya at kailangan niya humarap sa totoong mundo pero kung pwede lang bumalik na siya agad sa insulated bubble world niya para hindi niya kailangan harapin sa totoong mundo

Pang 6 days na ngayon ang dami pa din lugar na hindi nabibigyan ng relief goods.

[antonath]

Di na ako nanuod ng news today. Iinit lang ulo ko. Ang bagal ng hatid ng relief goods. For the c9mmunity naman eh bakit di sila magtulong tulong linisin ang bangkay dun at sila na magbaon. Ewan ko lang ha kung ako nasa sitwasyon nila. How do i stsrt.
