Kaban ni D_BystandeR: TAPHAW ANG AYUDA SA KAGAMHANAN ALANG SA MGA GIYOLANDA???


This Aquino administration is playing on the lives of the poor people in Tacloban City and its neighboring areas. Instead of helping them rebuild their lives to move on the people got stuck on a onerous government restriction that prohibits them to go back to their dwelling place before the disaster because of the "No build zone declared area" imposed by the government - a 40-meter-distance from the seashore.

Five months after the strongest and deadliest typhoon Yolanda hit the country most specifically Tacloban City and surrounding areas by unleashing horrifying force of more than 300 kmh that claimed more than 6,200 lives, the survivors of that worst disaster are still grappling for means to survive in the face of that government "restriction." The people who originally lived there went back to rebuild their homes only to be told that all they can do is to setup temporary dwellings. And they cannot even make modest extension to properly accommodate their family members who are tightly congested inside their shelter. And what is stupefyingly scary is that everyday they face the gruesome prospect of being driven away from their "homes" because of the reality that they live in the government declared "no build zone." The government is not giving them clear-cut solution to help the poor of what to do to improve their lives. There is no resettlement site, a place where they can transfer if it is really sincere and honest to help them. They are left in quandary and are facing a blank wall of what the  future will be for them, for their family and their loved ones. It is outrageously a kind of anti-poor restriction and the government is not doing anything to improve their lot.

Are the national leaders a "bunch of sadists" who can only ill-afford to see the citizenry live a life full of uncertainties not knowing what is in store for them in the near future? The grim prospect of people held in an area where they cannot move freely to improve their lives because of that "restriction" is causing  them untold hardships and sleepless nights. When can the government gather enough strength to bring itself back to its senses to be able "to give them a break" from this seemingly endless hopelessness?
