What surprises me is the total naivety at how these so called trusted charities allow Foreign Politicians the world over any control of generously raised funds??
They obviously cannot be trusted to distribute the money and goods on behalf of the public that donate!
There is corruption and bent politicians in the Philippines??? DUH!!!The country is famous for it,has been for years.
There are lots of Foreign expats and decent Filipino`s alike that have raised funds that are smart enough to physically deliver the goods to those affected..
These are the people that I will donate to... The big charities obviously cannot be trusted.
Makes me mad!

IMO.
