Ondoy brings out indifference and ingenuity
Ondoy brings out indifference and ingenuity. Just look at this one that I have just read from Ellen Tordesillas… Pichay and other officials could be charged for extravagance during a time of calamity
The Local Water Utilities Administration, a government-controlled corporation, held a “lavish” feast for its 36th anniversary Wednesday night, a virtual slap on the face of half a million Filipinos victimized by storm “Ondoy” who are scrounging for relief goods. Arroyo arrived at 9 p.m. Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano said that while most celebrations have been cancelled to donate to victims of Ondoy, the move of LWUA to proceed with its anniversary is the “height of insensitivity.” “Kawalanghiyaan na ito,” Cayetano said. A source said LWUA ordered 500 reservations for cocktails and 250 reservations for a seven-course dinner buffet from Henry’s Catering Service. A check with menu showed the catering cost about P200,000 (at P510++, P530++ to P610++ per head). The celebration, complete with a live band, was held at the LWUA main office on Katipunan avenue, Balara, Quezon City, which was one of the worst hit by Ondoy floods.
And while the officials are partying, our fellow kababayans are simply being creative… just to survive…
Yes, don’t you just love Filipinos creativeness and ingenuity?!
The will to survive.
Because some people are just too busy with a lavish party.

Pinaka-creative ung first pic! Hehehe
yeah! malakas ang lutang nang baldeng un!
Di ko lang maalala yung site pero sa isang news article din one wedding reception di na lang itinuloy and the guests to that wedding packed the food to be given out to the people who had nothing to eat.
that’s a sweet story monique! hindi kagaya nang mga [insert nasty word here] nag-pa-party pa!
Nakakalungkot naman, di ba pwedeng ipagpaliban na lang yung party? na lift na ba ang State of calamity?
can you imagine nakaka-lunok sila nung pagkain while people around them eh halos walang makain?!
PECHAY:How insensitive!
yan ang mga opisyales nung tiga-pasig! tipo bang, you tell me who ur prends are and i will tell you na baka sya yung nakita sa Cainta na lumalangoy? confirmed na di ba?
and interesting yong comment ni Tounge!
grabe talaga ang insensitivity. kahit na alam na nating lahat na fact of life na ito, lalo na dun sa mga tiga “pasig” pero nakakapanginig pa din ng laman no!
nag-iisip na nga daw yung mga iba na bumili ng inflatable beds at pa-boundary-han e! galing pa din ng pinoy no?
Ganyan ang Pinoy! Nakaka-smile pa rin sa gitna ng trahedya, tulad ng 2nd to the last pic. Dapat yung mga corrupt officials ang nilulunod sa tubig at putik eh.
ang mga pinoy, ilang beses mang lumubog at madapa, babangon at babangon pa rin, pero yung mga opisyal na nagpaparty pa, sana nabilaukan sila
me araw din ang mga walanghiyang tulad ni pichay at ng mga kauri nia!!!!!!!!!!!im sure marami pa silang nagtatago sa magarang kasuotan..
di ko maiwasang di magmura……makapal pa sa buwaya mga balat nila!!!!
What can you say about this?
