COTABATO CITY: Regional Governor Datu Zaldy Uy Ampatuan of the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) who is also the chairman
of the Regional Disaster and Coordinating Council (RDCC) on Tuesday
ordered for an immediate probe into the alleged diversion of relief
goods intended for the internally displaced persons (IDPs) or
evacuees in Maguindanao province that ended up being sold in the
public market.
This was after the Army soldiers guarding the
checkpoints along the highway of Maguindanao were able to confiscate
last week some 221 bags of rice, each weighing 50 kilos, from an
unidentified rice trader. The rice supplies, some of which found its
way to the public markets, were found to be part of the relief
assistance or ration intended for the evacuees for the month of May.
