September 29 sinabi ni Gloria sa taongbayan
Relocated families will be sheltered in all available premises within the Palace grounds. Government employees will be asked to make room for our guests, and I myself will move across the river to temporary quarters at bahay pangarap in the PSG compound.
So dinumog ng tao ang Malacanang.
HIndi yata nagustuhan ni Gloria ang itsura at amoy nung mga pobre dumating. So inutusan si Esperon na head ngayon ng Presidential Management Staff.
“Paalisin mo sila!” sabi ng dwende.
“Poh?” ang tanong ng muchacho.
“Basta paalisin mo sila. Bahala ka kung anong sasabihin mo sa kanila!” galit na utos ng dwendeng itim.
“Opoh,” sagot ng alila.
Hinarap ni Jun Esperon ang mga pobre at sinabi niya,
“This is a repacking center, meaning we will receive donations, repack them, then send them to evacuation centers where the flood victims are.”
“Ano ka ninyo?” tanong ng madlang nakisilong sa Malacanan,
“Sabi ko repacking center ito, hindi evacuation center kaya kung hindi kayo damit, pagkain, o pera pwede na kayong umalis!”

Sino ngayon ang puro kademonyohan at pagtatakpan mo pa yun kamundugan ng idolo mo.
Akala siguro ni GMA ang mga binaha na taga Forbes Park ang pupunta sa Malacanang evacuation center.
it was a simple miscommunications and or error in judgement and you are putting political color on it. Ganyan ka kademonyo!
hanggang ngayon ba naman di mo pa rin alam na sowing hatred is a form of evil. Even worst doing it in a time of crisis like this.
hanggang ngayon ba naman di mo pa rin alam na covering up evil is a form of evil. Even worst doing it in a time of crisis like this.
I am not covering up. The incident was in reported in the paper. So there is nothing to cover up. While made an artcile about it with speculations and exaggeration to sow and feed hatred to you and your ilk. And yeah no matter if we nation is seriously in crisis and energy should help the ease teh burden of teh people.
you know it in your heart how evil you are! its shows in all inyour writing!
I think one of the reasons we fail to learn from experience si that we don’t have enough hatred in our hearts
you ahead fill your whole life heart and soul with hate and see for yopur self whats going to happen.
I’m still ok. Just officially diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. But I’m ok. That little hate in my heart keeps me in the reality.
oh yeah and you end up voting for noynoy because of that hatred.
So what’s wrong voting for Noynoy? Was there an indication that I’m going for Noynoy? Are you going to convince to vote for Gibo instead?
Ah so just because I’m a die hard, hard-core pro-gun and Noynoy is an avid shooter you guessed that I’m voting for him. Is that it?
I’m with mb here. I understand what I read in the online newspapers. Pero sabi ng Malacanang tanga raw tayo lahat.
It makes sense for GMA to order the gates be opened when she saw the long lines of people.
BUT Cerge and the Presidential Security Group failed in their jobs.
Malacanang is a control center for government. Malacanang should never have been mentioned as an evacuation center.
The stunt was obviously to use as material for public appearances and cosmetic statements.
Just like her statements in her recent SONA about our preparedness in disasters and calamities. She’s eating those words right now.
The people should have locked the doors to prevent her from entering. Forcing her to step down and resign.
Why am I not surprised?

Is GMA now the MMDA Governor? or the Mayor of Pasig?
There is a lesson to be learned between Malabon (10-feet deep) navotas and malabon (knee-high flooding).
————–
Malabon seems to be the worst hit by floods in the Camanava area with Barangay Potrero experiencing about 10 to 15 feet-deep floodwaters. The flood problem in the city was also compounded when three of its dikes near the Tullahan River collapsed. The dikes were among those set to be rehabilitated under the Department of Public Works and Highways’ P5 billion Camanava Flood Control Project.
In Navotas City, the floodwaters only went up to knee-high level, Mayor Toby Tiangco said. He added that all of the city’s 24 pumping stations operated for 36 hours straight during the height of Ondoy’s onslaught.
“Before, we were always the worst hit by the floods. Our pumping stations helped us control the water. We were 80 percent clear of all floods by Saturday evening,” he said.
Don’t overlook this detail — The MA in the P5Billion CAMANAVA is MA-labon, not MA-rikina.
So what if the “MA” belongs to Malabon? The P5Billions still stinks.
“Malabon seems to be the worst hit by floods in the Camanava area with Barangay Potrero experiencing about 10 to 15 feet-deep floodwaters. The flood problem in the city was also compounded when three of its dikes near the Tullahan River collapsed.

This is what Gloria Arroyo and her family lacks: sensitivity of people and emphathy to suffering people. She cannot stand to see what her misrule and her incompetence have done. The poverty and want of her people. While she and her cahoots dine at Le Cirque in New York. She is worst than the Dictator Marcos. At least, Marcos had the sensitivity and emphathy to his people. I am not surprised
because her concience is seared already by power corruption. It does
not guide her anymore to do good!
If you look at the Christian Bible. There was an evil Queen of the
ancient Kingdom of Israel. Her name was Queen Jezzabel. She was so evil. That her people overthrew her. Her dead body was fed to the dogs. God can give. God can also take away. What goes up. Can also come down also.
We urge Gloria Arroyo to lead her people. Unite the Filipinos. Because more natural calamities are on the way. We all perish by
our hates, senseless political squabblings, and our nonsense.
Or go through this tribulation as better people. We have a choice!
If it weren’t so tragic,
it would be funny.
Do they show the three stooges in the Philippines,
old re-runs,
pie in the face,
moe slapping down curly,
really brutal stuff, without the humor . . .

i’m sorry, but if my info last night is correct, there is a specific room (or hall/building) in malacañang wherein there are evacuees from Tatalon, QC.
my source also told me that these evacuees some “better off” than the other victims because the room/hall/building/ is air-conditioned (because aircon system in the palace is centralized).
additionally, food is being provided by the coop canteen in malacañang.
These are not ordinary times. We are already in the times of tribulation; not seen since recorded history. We either
fight each other and perish together. Or, go thru these
tribulation times emerging as better Filipinos.
Are you sure that this really happened and the anti-GMA journalists are not just making it up?
Chin you just have to read carefully manuel ost. There is the word “yata” .
Rego you just have to read carefully the statement of GMA followed by Esperon’s and then the news report.. There is no “yata” .anywhere there
When does it happen that headlines like this do not appear
in mainline Pinas newspapers?
Agree with prayer. Prayer is better than using our tax money! No ‘under-the-table’ hanky panky in prayer.
US troops are now in the metro-Manila area, e.g. …at least 16 US soldiers will begin begin Thursday in Cainta, Pasig and Marikina doing medical missions.
This is a chance for Liza Maza, Walden Bello and Gabriela to form blockades to denounce the VFA program.
Will be good time for the Senators who voted to remove the bases to chime in.
Erap Estrada for one :D
Just make sure they don’t loiter near Taguig, large Muslim community there, might be some rogue ASG, dangerous to civilians too.
“And when the broken hearted people in the world agree…
There will be an answer. Let it be!”
“And when those people parted just can see,
There will be an answer. Let it be!”
The song was written and sung by the Beatle Singer Sir. Paul McCartney. It was sung about fifty years ago. I just grasp its
relevance now. We are all threatened by nuclear war, terrorrism,
financial breakdowns, natural calamities, and all kinds of maladies.
Our species is on the verge of extinction.
“And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines for me…
Shines until tomorrow. Let it be!”
Rego,
this one os for you
Nakaisip pang unattend party yun mahal mong dwende!
Kumain pa ng lechon habang yun mga pobreng pumunta sa malacanan binigyan lang ng tinapay at soft drink!
That’s actually so Pinoy. Tuloy ang pista kahit may baha. Other poorer Pinoys are like this though. Yun nga lang, mangungutang pa. Hahaha.
to borrow rego’s expression: Can she “do this at a time of crisis?”
Northern Luzon… get ready for another strong winds of 240 km or greater matching a category 4 or 5 storm in the atlantic. Heavy rains will continue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUXZw6N7zjo
Wike time: The Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale is a classification used for most Western Hemisphere tropical cyclones that exceed the intensities of tropical depressions and tropical storms. The scale divides hurricanes into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds. In order to be classified as a hurricane, a tropical cyclone must have maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph (33 m/s; 64 kt; 119 km/h). The highest classification in the scale, Category 5, is reserved for storms with winds exceeding 155 mph (69 m/s; 136 kt; 249 km/h).
The classifications are intended primarily for use in measuring the potential damage and FLOODING a hurricane will cause upon landfall, although they have been criticized as being too simple. Officially, the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale is used only to describe hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean and northern Pacific Ocean east of the International Date Line. Other areas use different classification scales to label these storms, which are called “cyclones” or “typhoons”,
Are the officials ready for emergency measures and evacuation for people who are living in the highest flood zone.
A day or day-and-a-half before landfall, CNN can make guess-timates on how many inches of rain that a typhoon (headed for Pinas) can bring. Assigning a PAGASA-employee to watch CNN (days before a storm) is good use of money, won’t one say?
NOTE: even NASA says that days before 26-September, the rainfall inches on Ketsana could be estimated from satellite pictures.
Was this a matter of professional pride that made PAGASA take for granted the damage that Ketsana was bringing to metro-Manila?
Of course, a bayanihan-question is why five to ten bayanihan-groups did not assign themselves for july-August-September the work to increase water-flow capacity of the Marikina and Pasig rivers as well as key metro-Manila esteros.
Good idea, UP n! Let PAG ASA just watch CNN, save us the cost of buying those costly Doppler Radar Jon Limjap was proposing. No corruption in watching CNN, is there?
That “wunderground” site “says” (check timestamp) that Parma will spare Malabon/Makati. Parma will make landfall at Tuguegarao Saturday 9:30AM (Japan time) with deadly winds.
I live in Florida, at category 4, i must have accessed to information on list of evacuation centers, flashlight, water , emergency kit, battery operated lamp and can goods for food.
Emergency preparedness is key to ensure the survival of everyone present. Is the government ready?
In NJ there are signs all over telling people where to go during an evacuation. This should be done all over the Philippines. In MM, the government already knows where the low lying areas are. There should be signs telling people not to go that way. Emergency phone numbers should be posted anywhere people converge like malls, train stations and schools.
A slight correction : Esperon’s PMS now stands for Presidential Mis-management Syndrome.
Don’t send your donations to Malacanang.
Archbishop Lagdameo shares his belief:
as Archbishop Lagdameo reminds Filipinos :
http://abplagdameo.blogspot.com/2009/10/year-2009-typhoons-are-they-gods-hints.html
He forgot to mention that the Filipinos have to save themselves from themselves. Hehe.
He also forgot that bad things can happen to good people. Job was upright, but calamity happened to him too. This archbishop doesn’t know his Biblical theology. Tsk tsk.
Ang tunay na dapat umalis sa Palasyo, ayaw umalis. Ubod na gahama sa packing, packing at tuloy pa rin ng packing.
