The vultures everywhere are coming all out in force. Here are some of the things we’ve seen online:
1. Government officials allegedly not distributing relief goods in Provident Village Marikina because no media to cover their distribution.
2. Citizen apparently being told by SSS person that no funds are available for calamity loan.
3. DSWD allegedly repacking ABS-CBN relief goods in Pasig, reducing package contents.
4. Relief goods apparently being acquired by residents of a gated community for P1000 (sort of like shopping and delivery).
5. Taxi cabs doing “kontrata” (Metro Manila cabbies, what else is new).
6. Syrofoam care packages and plastic bags of relief goods with politicians’s names.
7. Looters in Provident Village, Marikina.
Well, let’s help our friends in the media use the information as leads to blow these people out of the water, so to speak.
Here’s what we’ll do:
1. Leave a comment, preferably not anonymous (dapat may bayag ka, ‘tol).
Tell us what you know and a link to the original Plurk message/ Twitter message/ Facebook message/ blog post/ and so on.
Eyewitness accounts/ personal stories are best, and avoid sharing replurks and retweets.
Photos will be excellent, especially if you can tell us who and where they were taken.
2. I’ll continue updating this post.
Don’t worry about messages on the same topic from different people; multiple eyewitness accounts are good for verification.
3. There is no 3. Let’s just hope mainstream media uses our leads.
