Yeah I was mortified when I saw some comments in local sites that the devastation in Visayas was imputed to Filipinos as punishment from God for their "tolerance to homosexuality, abortion and adultery".morenangpinay wrote:Nothing like overhearing a bunch of people laughing about the Philippines misfortune over lunch. Oh well thank you for the help

Kinda proved the theory that Harry Lee's social engineering experiments back in the 60's, 70's & 80's were a total flop and all they managed to get was a bunch of dysfunctional genetic idiots for the last two generations. Their reputations here have/are going straight to hell in a tin cup. At least their lack of empathy for anybody else except themselves is becoming legendary around the world thanks to social media. Boy, are they gonna regret it someday. I hope. Fortunately, as a species, they will die out at the current rate of nonproductivity in about 3 generations.

There is a lot of ill feeling in HK still regarding the hostage situation on a Manila tourist coach a couple of years ago.
Not saying it's right, but they also seem to equate the bad acts of a few to reflect on the nation as a whole. Some feelings are difficult to overcome but, I mean, just at the APEC meeting in Bali a couple of months ago HK journalists were kicked out for trying to ask the PH president to apologise for the incident, or something like that. Anyway, and in either case, there is still a lot of ill feeling in the territory.

In response to the Armed Forces of the Philippines' (AFP) request, the SAF will extend the deployment of the second C-130 aircraft to the Philippines to support the AFP's ongoing relief efforts.
And not to annoy those who said "Money no enough .. " .. many agencies are increasingly asking not to donate Cash, but to send goods ..

Yep, with the US carrier fleet there, the choppers & Ospreys don't have to worry about landing strips so they can take the goods in directly without the middleman taking a cut when supplying the goods. Makes sense, especially considering that Noynoy doesn't have clue what he's doing this time.

Be careful what you wish for
off -topic, HMS Illustrious doesn't have any more Planes, if I recall correctly .. if only they had those Harriers, they could do a lot of damage surveys .. oh, wait, no wonder the hanger deck is emptyMi Amigo wrote:Certainly seems to be a lot of provisioning activity going on here...
