Typhoon Haiyan

For years now I've been wishing to see Anderson Cooper in person, I complained when Ondoy hit us and Andy was a no show, when Habagat or monsoon hit us in 2012 I wished for Anderson to come here... Why?! Because I wanted to see him and I know there's no chance to see him unless a disaster strikes my country, I wanted a disaster just to get Andy's attention...I was quite insensitive...never thought about anything or anyone else but myself. But when typhoon Haiyan struck Tacloban and other parts of the Visayas region, to tell you the truth, the last thing on my mind was my fangirl fantasy... heck, I even learned about Andy coming to Tacloban from a friend. The destruction Yolanda left was indescribable, really, I found myself crying, it's was so hard to see my kababayan (countrymen) suffer because our government didn't do enough! And the sad part is they won't admit it even if it hits them in the face... faced with facts, observations and comments from around the world our government will still maintain that we are doing well and help from the rest of the world is not really necessary.

Here's an example, this prick here is our secretary from the Department of Interior and Local Government, if you observe how he reacts to criticisms, well, that's pretty much how all of them from the government think specially our president, good for nothing bastards, they all are!

And by the way, Anderson had a tiff with one of our "top journalists" here, Korina Sanchez, she stated in her radio program that AC does not know what he was talking about when he reported that there are no government presence in Tacloban, bodies are lying there days after days and he can see no effort in cleaning up or picking the bodies from the street, the living sleeps next to their dead relatives...and Korina, sitting pretty from her air conditioned room tells everyone that AC was, basically, lying, he was making thing up. To cut a story short...Korina is married to Mar Roxas. So there...figure it out.



I am so proud of my countrymen, for being strong and resilient in hard times like this. And I am ashamed of my government. That's the truth.

And I didn't get to see Andy in person, to be honest, I tried but I never really went out of my way to see him even when he came in Manila when he did his last days of reporting. It's okay, I will eventually see him, I know it and hopefully not because of another disaster.
