After Lawin, Abrenians are feeling left out, demoralized and frightened

Relief Goods from Deet, Tayum.

Relief Goods from Deet, Tayum. 

We all know how Typhoon Lawin devastated the Province of Abra. Millions of pesos worth of damages to crops, infrastructure and houses were reported. Abra was isolated during the typhoon. Powers and Communications were knocked off.

DSWD was quick to respond (at least according to the papers). Relief Goods were packed in beautiful boxes. The content will last for 2 days for a family of 5.

Th Provincial Government also declared Abra under the State of Calamity. This of course would enable them to allocate emergency funds to assist in rebuilding our province.DSWD also announce that they will provide cash assistance of 5,000.00 to 30,000.00 pesos for those people who’s houses were damaged. OWWA also promised 3,000.00 pesos cash assistance for OFW families.

You think everything will be fine, right? Well not so fast.

Relief Good and Cash Assistance

After more than a month since the typhoon, people are now asking. Where are those relief goods and funds?

Complaints are pouring in. Instead of the DWSD boxes, people got a plastic bag with some can goods, instant noodles a bag of rice that only last for one meal.

As far as those cash relief, Abrenians are at lost on what to do. They are either excluded from the list, caught in the government red tape or just simply doesn’t know what to do.

Some Government officials claimed that the DSWD assistance were simply not enough (I thought Sec. Taguiwalo claimed we have plenty?), so they divided the DSWD boxes and repacked the good.  But then again, each Municipality should have an allocated calamity fund (according to the law, LGU are supposed to keep 5% of their yearly revenue for Calamity Fund). But I bet you, we can look at their annual audit report and they either re-align those funds for other use or they just simply didn’t allocate anything. In other words, most of these LGU’s were not prepared.

ABRECO

ABRECO, for the nth time is back in the lime light. As of this writing, there’s still several areas in Abra without power. According to our sources, repairs are slow because ABRECO doesn’t have the means to fund the repairs. No wonder, they are requiring subscribers to pay for the service drops. Frankly, the ABRECO problem will never go away unless the Governor or Congressman have the political will to confront the leadership of ABRECO.


What now?

I commend how the PDRMMC conducted early warning planning that resulted in just one death. They were also in full force during the airlifting of relief goods specially to the far flung areas. This made the Governor look good, despite her being abroad during the typhoon.

The initial Relief Goods are probably long gone by now. But the rebuilding process will take a long time. Is the government going to follow through?

What’s really bothering is, how can the Government spend millions in the likes of Casamata Park, Provincial capitol or the Bangued Town Plaza and yet we have the poorest of the poor crying for help? Where’s the priority here?

They are poor. They are feeling left out, demoralized and frightened. Who’s gonna fight for them? Certainly not the government as they are all busy with their own beautification for the coming Christmas holidays.

  2. 91 read and comprehend the articles posted by my katokayo. He doesnt blame politicians instead he criticized them constructively which is a healthy move for a democratic country we have. For the lgu’s response to lawin i commend the governor for his relief operation on board a chopper but i despised him for bringing individuals who dont have participation in relief operation. For your info 91 riding a chopper does not have a thrill anymore to me because of my frequent boarding everytime i nid to conduct aerial assessment n field visit when time ran out. 91 bka isa ka sa mga ngseselfie sa kampo sa mga chopper piman aya ta haanka py nakasakay

    • in my own understanding and bottom part of it is blaming the politician,
      they cannot please everyone , a can of sardine is better than nothing , saan yo a piliten nga paada-en tay awan apo, anya kayatyo agtakaw ta politiko iti iparawad na kanyatayo,agyaman kami apo ta adda naytulong yo kanyami kunak a saan ngarud , apay sisiak laeng aya ti ikkan da ti sardinas ket nagado kami a pagwarasan na,no sisiak la koma ti abrenian nga pagwarasan na a ket agreklamo ak ngem nagado kam met ti kasayaatan ket agyaman tayo tay adda nga maytulong da kanyatayo

  7. Maysa ti ili ti Lagangilang ti napakaruan nga dinalapus ti Lawin. Naperdi ti irigasyon ket immutang ti asosasyon iti 50K manipud ti ADTEMCO tapnon masimpa ti pangawidan ti danum sadiay karayan. Masapul pay ti 250K tapnon ma-rehabilitate wenno masimpa dagitay nagiday nga kanal nangpulsot ti irigasyon. Immay ti NIA, kinita met ti DA, ti naperdi nga irigasyon. Naiyasideg pay ti problema iti Gobernadora, ngem ania ti naitulongda? Awan, agsipud ta nalpas kanun tay”budget” daytoy nga fiscal year. Mabalin nga addanto kano “ngata” maipuruakda kalpasan nga mapagsasaritaanda ti budget ti sumaruno nga fiscal year. Kagudua wenno ad adu pay nga dati nga ag second cropping koma ti saan nga makapagtalon ta awan met danum nga dumanon iti taltalonenda. Please, somebody educate me; ania ti serbi ti makunkuna nga “calamity fund”? Wenno ania ti serbi ti “emergency fund” ti probinsiya wenno ti ili? Dagiti mannalon ti Lagangilang ket kasapulanda ti “banniit nga pagkalapda”, saan nga tay maiduol nga sangaapuyan nga bagas ken dua lata nga sardinas tapnon makaraepda. In other words, give them the tools (help them fix the broken irrigation system) to farm and produce rice, not “lip service” and a little bit of rice.

Malaking gulat ko sa taong ito sa dami ng ipinabibigay na supporta sa magsasaka ng tabako sa tobacco producing municipalities tulad ng hose, water pump, fertilizers, n even trucktors mula sa Ra7171.Dahil kaya sa takot kay tatay Digong o sa bagong provincial leaders na nagkataon di kaaliado ng Sn Isidro at Pilar? Ano ang naamoy mong dahilan dito Eric o sa amoy bagoong na bilat ka lang mahilig?

        • 91 it seems u dnt exoerience all kinds of women. For me the best partner in bed are age 40 to 47 if you are also in the 30s. If you are in the 40s good partners are in the 30s but when u are in 50 to 60s best is 16 to 20. These are my observation everytime we gathered in an exclusive place wherein women were given to us as token of thanks for their request in our office to be approved takenote 91 some of the women are showbiz personality name them and they provide u for me i dnt want 20s i prefer 40s because their belat n body are all taken care with the most expensive beauty products in town n their performance in bed are oerfect for they dont hesitate to tell what u will do.
