Dirty politicos make spectacle of themselves, each trying to outdo and outsmart each other to use these calamities to advance their selfish interests. Thus the poor calamity victims become victims twice over. The various donations intended for them either do not reach them, or if at all they get to them, are already repackaged with greatly diminished contents/value – where names of real donors are usually replaced by that of the politicians'.
To say that this grave malpractice reeks of political color is an understatement.
The recent calamities have proved how politics can seriously derail relief efforts in earthquake-devastated areas, totally undermining the well-being of the greatly disadvantaged victims. The rift between private donors/groups and the politicians in the areas had complicated the distribution of the much-needed relief goods to the towns hit hardest by the earthquake where there was massive hunger and people were already begging for food on the streets. In some areas, the goods that were allegedly channeled through the local government never got to the intended recipients at all.
But unbeknownst to most, apart from politics and non-coordination, another reason is unbelievable greed - especially coming from the most unlikely person in this case.
Nasty Wife NW of a Popular Celebrity PC had asked from her friends and colleagues for donations that they will collectively give to the earthquake victims in the hard-hit areas. Friends of NW were only too glad to give - and give generously they did. Every cash collected, NW would give to her Staff ST for records and accounting. Total cash donation was huge.
When the time came to turn over the donation to the proper agency, NW instructed ST to make a check for an xx amount. ST was shocked! The amount NW instructed her to put on the check was way below the total amount collected. Worse, the shameless NW had the nerve to put the name of her company as the donor!
The members of the church where NW and PC belong were aghast beyond words when told of the story. Truly, in anything she does and says - NW's image always precedes her.
