Wasting relief, or #SorryWorldredux

There is nothing that will make you angrier than to hear that Typhoon Haiyan relief goods have gone to waste, when one knows how hungry people still are in Samar and Leyte. Nothing that will disgust you more than to hear that millions in cash donations for Haiyan victims were not touched or used for the relief operations immediately after the typhoon, when problems with transportation and logistics could have been solved by using funds that the world had donated for use precisely in that time of dire need.

The Commission on Audit (COA) Report on Haiyan Relief Operations reveals much of what we feared was going on in the immediate aftermath of Haiyan. It reveals how this government’s been pulling our leg.
