Ban logs from Rizal Park
Wala Lang
By DR. JAIME C. LAYA
MANILA, Philippines — Coffins and corpses row on row; splinters that once were homes; mud everywhere; survivors lining up for water, food, clothes; officialdom appealing to Manila, the Red Cross, anyone, for help—familiar sights. Photo captions now read Cagayan de Oro; not long ago, they read Ormoc, Quezon, Aurora, Leyte, Gingoog.
President Aquino releases millions; relief agencies mobilize; the media appeal for donations; people send old clothes and canned goods; international organizations respond; the Navy dispatches ships; soldiers and locals do “retrieval and rescue” work (of bodies, and survivors, respectively).....

maraming tira dito kay "pangulong" a_noy y hocus pcos dahil sa (patagong) pagsuporta nito sa logging kahit baligtad ang sinasabi officially.......silang greedy loggers and supporters bale ang pumatay sa mga kawawang biktima ng flash floods sa mindanao noong bagyong sendong.
"A logging ban was announced by President Aquino and pre-massacre, a similar ban was reportedly imposed at ARMM by ex-Gov. Mangudadatu. Obviously no one takes such directives seriously. I’ve seen log-laden trucks on P. Burgos Drive, Quirino Avenue, San Marcelino Street alongside Manila’s Western Police District headquarters—all within hailing distance of Malacañang. Could it be that blanket bans are imposed, but are lifted case-to-case on quid-pro-quo?"
