No offence terpe but Im giving to the red cross.

[alesypalsy]

No offence terpe but Im giving to the red cross.

Did you know that only around $0.39 of every $1 actually goes to the cause with the red cross?

http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/charities.asp

your much better donating straight to the cause,

we are awaiting some communication from family, we hope to god they are ok but they were pretty much in the eye of the storm in biliran, we shall send them money as soon as we can get hold of them ,, would obviously like to send now

as with most "big" charity's, they have CEO who need 200,000 a year salarys minimum, plus their kids need to go to expensive private schools and collages,, makes me sick thinking about it actually and people still like to "give" to these great causes......

not directed at you by the way andy,, just a general moan

[RickyR]

No offence terpe but Im giving to the red cross.

Red Crossvis mentioned in Peters thread.

[Terpe]

No offence terpe but Im giving to the red cross.

Absolutely no offence taken Andy. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I just popped that up in case any readers (members, lurkers or internet searchers) had a mind to help out in some small way.

As for me, my byword is charity begins at home.
We always donate some small money to selected organisations and disaster refief funds, but our number one priority is to be sure the family are in a good position..

I doubt most folks really know how it is to lose everything with nowhere to turn to.
I only know 2nd hand from my extended family. It's heartbreaking.
Yes I know some will try to grab more than they should......but what can you do.

[alesypalsy]

Definitely a very sad state at the moment, news last night bbc had women talking about the front page of the newspapers headlines,

they mentioned that when the tsuami hit 2004 in thailand there was lots of people on news talking of immideatly going out there to help out,, relief efforts were massive ,in philippines case with this storm it seems not so much talk , this was the biggest beast typhoon to hit the the philippines in recorded history,

charity also will have to begin at home for us, we have in laws we dont even know if they are safe/alive? there are hundreds of thousands more in our position,, any help is appreciated help thats for sure.

if i could help more i would, but we are all doing our bit that we can.

our thoughts are with the victims


sorry if i took a space in your post Terpe........
Your doing a great job with your updates and links
cheers

[gWaPito]

Well I've actually offered to help my estranged wife's family. ..Jane hasn't replied to my email as yet. ...I know she has family in the affected regions

At least you know the money will go all to them and it's family. .

[Terpe]

.....sorry if i took a space in your post Terpe........
Your doing a great job with your updates and links
cheers

No need to apologise at all.........we all need to let out some words.

The Philippines has now formally and officially accepted all offers of international support.

Latest reports from the Red Cross regarding Tacloban are a bit grim.

Don't get me started on that "not having enough time" excuse. :wink:

We all have exactly the same amount of time every day.
What we do, individually, with that time comes down to priorities.

We can't store time or save up time to use another day. So we each set out by prioritisation what we will do with our time.

So what you're really saying is that you don't give a priority to searching.

No offence intended, just stating the facts

(soapbox now gone - I used to do Time Management Courses as a consultant)

[Terpe]

I'm actually working....I'm still leading a productive life. ...We don't have the same free time unlike the retired folks on here ..I'm trusting your Judgement on what's worth looking at.

We're at different times of life Peter....I'm still contributing 40% of my income to the greater good of the country as you very well know. ...I'm also working to pay solicitor fees to keep seeing my boys and my wife's 20% share of my income. ..not moaning of complaining. ..it's pointless. ..just got to get on with it.

I'd rather keep on top of developments as it happens in the Philippines through links being posted here.

It's a shame Time Consultancy Management didn't factor in real life scenarios. ....much like secondary school teachers who haven't got a clue about the workings of the real world.

No offence intended I'm just stating the facts.

Editing completed :-))

I'm actually working too - 7 days a week. I consider my life to be very productive in both working time and private time. As do my family, my extended family and friends.

The whole point about time management is just that.....real life scenario's. Understanding how to get the most from the time we each have. How to recognise organisation, efficiency and prioritisation. Making better choices. Period.

Who rattled your cage sonny. ..do one

I've tried to be friendly many times to you andy222. ..many times you bite my hand. No more.

I will purposely not respond or stick my nose in your stuff. ..do likewise.

I'm not offended by what Peter says. .not at all.

Your journey is just beginning. .folks in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones.

Like many. .we use this forum as a point of reference to the Philippines.

andy222, this is neither the time or the place for being childish and starting petty arguments

I care what's going on in the Philippines. .The place my children's family are from. ..show respect

Over the past 3 years the UK govt has given an average of £227 million pa in aid to a country with a billion dollar space programme.:NoNo: Wouldn't it be a bit wiser to divert some of that to a country in genuine need, like The Philippines.

Our Government has pledged The Philippines £6 million, it could do a whole lot better:NoNo:

[Anakin]

Our Government has pledged The Philippines £6 million, it could do a whole lot better:NoNo:

agreed. A pitiful sum, but no doubt Joe Public will put their hands in their pocket and show the govt up.

[Terpe]

I think the UK's pledge is pretty good. Especially when compared with what other countries are pledging. I believe 2nd only to UAE
UK has also mobilised over 500 emergency specialists on the ground.

The biggest issue is to rapidly organise and direct resources so as to avoid waste and duplication as happened in Haiti.
It's a huge logistical challenge.
Clean water...that's clearly needed.
Medicines.
But think for a moment about the food and the distribution. Not easy.
There's really no much choice for distribution centres.
Care needs to be taken on the type of food sent. It's no good sending food that needs cooking...there's no facility to cook.

There's a lot of money going in from around the world.
First response is not about money. Philippines has money. It's about logistics and specialist organisation and a single directions 'hub' control centre.
Specialist vehicles also needed.
I heard on the news that UK has over 200 Initial Emergency Responders moving around on Motorbikes to provide information on needs and access.
Many of these folks travelled into the storm track areas prior to it hitting land just so they were on the ground in the immediate aftermath. What courage they have.

So many areas, towns and villages still waiting to be contacted. Who know what ever happened to those poor souls.

It takes time to overcome the issues around infrastructure and the fact that there are islands involved.

Sorry I'll not continue. Just don't want to hear any negatives just now.

[Dedworth]

Our Government has pledged The Philippines £6 million, it could do a whole lot better:NoNo:

Germany US $670k
EU US $4 mill
Vatican US $150k
Canada C$5 mill
Australia US $10 mill
Saudi Arabia US $100k

Sorry I'll not continue. Just don't want to hear any negatives just now.Apologies not required Peter.....You are right of course, best not to go down the negative line.

I appreciate our Government are fronting up more cash than the others Ded has mentioned but, bear in mind, that £6 million probably wouldn't be enough to buy a family house in their streets.

The logistical help the British and others are providing, as Peter points out, far outweighs the financial aspect

[Doc Alan]

This is how the Philippine press have responded to the typhoon :-

Editorial in the Philippine Daily Inquirer

"By all accounts, Yolanda (international code name: Haiyan) is now considered the most destructive natural calamity ever in the country's history. But as horrifying as its multiple landfalls last Friday were... the worst is yet to come: digging out the thousands of bodies from under debris and inside waterlogged homes. It would be impossible to imagine the suffering of the survivors, as they search for their missing kin and find family and friends among the many dead."


Rigoberto Tiglao in The Manila Times

"Another typhoon, this time a devastating super-typhoon that hit the country bulls-eye. Nothing new, including the absence of a comprehensive plan of action to deal with the curse of typhoons. Unless my editors tell me to stop, I'll be writing every typhoon season... in the hope that some lawmaker or group would pick up my proposal... for the enactment of a law for our nation to build the necessary infrastructure to mitigate the terrible impact of typhoons and monsoon rains on our people."

Editorial in The The Philippine Star

"The government can sustain public willingness to get out of the path of danger by improving evacuation facilities. Many people refuse to leave their homes for evacuation centres because they don't relish the prospect of staying even temporarily in crowded shelters with filthy toilets and inadequate clean water."

Federico D. Pascual Jr in The Philippine Star

"Obviously Yolanda's wrath was just too much for anyone in government to predict and prepare for on short notice. We have not grappled with anything like this before."

Editorial in the Manila Standard Today

"It is quite timely that this year's Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change begins on Monday, just as the world gets to grasp the actual damages brought by Yolanda, or Haiyan. Filipinos are already resilient in spirit, but only sincere and genuine governance, through sounder, stronger, tangible infrastructure, can make us less helpless against the forces of nature."

Walden Bello in the Philippine Daily Inquirer

"It seems these days that whenever Mother Nature wants to send an urgent message to humankind, it sends it via the Philippines. That it was climate change that was creating super typhoons that were taking weird directions was a message that Nature was sending not just to Filipinos but to the whole world. It is doubtful, however, that the governments assembling in Warsaw will rise to the occasion."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24892324


Mindful of previous criticism ( in 2009 typhoons Ketsana and Parma claimed hundreds of deaths and affected several million people ) the Philippines Department of Health DID publish advice before this super typhoon ( “ During the typhoon season “ , see
http://www.doh.gov.ph/node/322.html
) :xxgrinning--00xx3:.




At this stage it remains to be seen whether international support WILL be adequate, and for how long the consequences of the typhoon will continue to receive the prominence in the news that it deserves.


Indeed nobody wants to hear any negatives. Let's share the intrinsic optimism and resilience of most Filipinos, and take comfort from the pledges of support ALREADY given from all over the world :xxgrinning--00xx3:.
