The rush of emergency activities that the country has sporadically experienced brought about by the epic disaster the past month or so that started with that strong tremor, has exposed the country in a very compromising position and uncovered its relative weakness in dealing with natural disasters of this magnitude. Government control that is supposed to highlight the strength of leadership character was wanting in essential performance, and this was particularly reflected in the breakdown of law and order, particularly in areas not reached by assistance. Days have passed but nothing was done to access the localities that are in dire need of the basics. Yet government press releases stated otherwise. Tons of relief goods, multitude of emergency assistance, and the outpouring of foreign immediate relief goods and services have been delivered to the country, yet nothing has been heard of because those reached by the media have not been identified and assisted by the government. Lately, criminal activities have already been committed at will like rape and robbery, because of the absence of government control in some localities ravaged by the typhoon. Delivery of life saving assistance that should be the topmost priority in such kind of condition in strategic areas are almost always inappropriate, resulting into a monumental disorder, such as massive looting that should not have occurred had the government been truthful in its promise of prompt support.
