It’s shameful to blame Aquino for the higher casualty ratio. Remember Philippines is not America that all it’s citizens can be evacuated to a safe evacuation center. Indeed a lot of people evacuated in the evacuation center but was also hit by Yolanda. Stop blaming Aquino and before hand he did all the necessary precaution to inform all the people of Leyte, Samar, Ilo Ilo, Capiz, Cebu and Bohol. If I were you blame your Idols in the Philippine Senate and Congress who are the source of corruption that’s why a lot of the Pinoys are poor. Why don’t you go to Chinese embassy and demonstrate against them for occupying our Scarborough Shoal , Mischie Reef and now nearly to be captured the Ayungin Reef. Show your Philippine Spirit against china internationally and just help our country and stop the blaming game. Go out and fight china thru voices to be heared internationally.
Filipinos has no gutts and spirit fighting the aggressors in the Philippines , they are only good for invading America and bullying their way in . Wait till America turns like third world country , they aill be the first to exit out as fast as they can .
If we ignore the goverrnment’s culpability on aggravating the scale of misery that yolanda brought, we are bound to repeat the tragedy into countless more families since more yolandas, pablo and the like are on their way.
This is a great disaster and we cannot help our fellow Filipinos by pointing fingers to who is at fault. I believe the government have given people enough warnings, as my sister is one of those who is involved in the preparations. One thing I see the problem was the use of terminology (like storm surge) and our lack of full understanding of the intensity and gravity of the high winds (200+ mph). And it is correct in one way that we have limited resources to do a massive evacuation, and some of the higher grounds are even below sea level. So let us show our spirit by helping and not blaming.
@Noel Garcia, your right in everything you said in your comment. It’s sad and I wish the philippines all the luck ! God be with you all.
