This blog
post might seem a bit too late, but I did intend to write post scripts, when
the ’storm’ is finally much more calm. Tough I have been quite active on my
facebook account about how to help and all other things about #YolandaPh; my
fascination with behavioral psychology is really at its heights.
So let me
start…
Here’s a
rundown of how this very strong storm had changed even the country’s political
and social landscape – with concentrations on these people.
PNOY (The
President)
I was never
a fan, but he has been doing quite good in the first few years in the office
(and so I give him credit for that, click here ) until the recent weeks. Coming from Ateneo
myself, am aware of this man’s status in the learned society. He is, as we call
him, OC when it comes to details. He disregards wrong information and is really
pissed by wrong and bad media. This gives him a good (and not so good) status.
One, he took
the police’s statement that almost 10,000 died. It was a rough estimate and it
was wrong. He made a good impression by stating that it could be less, so to
not put further bad effects. What he did wrong? He fired that man off his post.
Was it too much? Well, for a staff who was there at the city where thousands
were killed, he was simply being honest and fair. Was he wrong? Yes but to fire
him for simply stating a possible fact that made the world ‘listen and look’ at
us far more caringly? – NO.
Secondly, he
said Tacloban was not prepared - and I say yes. But granted the region’s
leaders, was that statement a statement or a political bashing? The Romualdezes
took the storm like a simple thing, and it pissed me off as well. For one, an
ex-executive of Cebu was able to evacuate a total of 1500 people out of an
island to safety; how come Tacloban, which has been historically hit by
calamities of this magnitude took a calm approach. Is the governor liable, YES.
But with the president’s political bashing, too much! While he was lambasting
the also affected officials, where were the reliefs? It took four days before
the innocent survivors received one. Galing Galing naman nun, PNOY. Talk about
real #Priorities.
Lastly, he
took over the mission to help only after bashing (and blaming) everyone else
and, here’s the fun, only until the international media started to talk
negatively of him. Now, the question, did he really intend to help primarily
because he is RESPONSIBLE AS WELL? Or simply because his image is way going
down?
My ratings:
DOWN.
KORINA
SANCHEZ
She has lost
her credibility long before this event, but her incident with CNN’s Anderson
Cooper placed her even below mud. She has been quite very good on TV but is
really off on DZMM since Binay and the rest of their rivals. Making a not so
needed bad comment on a reputable anchor on the field, haha , nah sistah, way
too much. Would I ever believe her, hell no. Has she lost her media reputation
– yes!

Get another life!
TED FAILON
I won’t talk
much about this guy because am not well researched really, but his current
HAHAHA comments on the PAG-ASA personnel l who died on the field during the
typhoon was not just below the belt but is a serious indicator of his low view
on the morality of things. Why blame the person who died while serving well?
Pag-Asa did not do anything stupid this time, he did. The agency lost a personnell,
he laughed about it. Now tell me, is he worth our trust?
