Six years after Yolanda almost put Leyte in ruins, relief goods meant for the affected victims of the said calamity are still being discovered.
On January 14, 2020, the authorities were surprised after they discovered expired relief goods in a stock room in Kananga, Leyte.
Goods including canned foods, clothes, school supplies, medicines, and other necessities were discovered rotten.
Some victims of Yolanda remembered their suffering again after they saw the newly discovered relief goods meant for them.
“Naalala ko yan.., biktima din kme ng yolanda.. nangungupahan pa kme dati nga asawa ko pero hindi man lang kme. makahingi ng tulong pag may mga pila sa rasyon ng bigas at delata.. hindi kme mabigyan kc hindi daw kme botante ng tacloban. Sa sobrang kasakiman. Mas pinili pa nilang mabulok uod ang makinabang!!” netizen Gacelos Derilo said.
“Ganoon kasakim at kasama ang mga tao kaya di malayong gunawin na ang mundo inuunti unti ngalang kung Saan mas madami na ang Masama pinaparusahan, dto nga saamin itinapon pa sa simenteryo mga bigas at yung lahat ng may katungkulan mula munusipyo hangang barangay puro kurakot, mga sakim,” netizen Sonia Dumael remarked.
“Mga tamad kasi para ipamahagi…samantalang pinaghirapan yan noong tao para lng makatulong sa mga biktima.pero di nag isip yun dapat ipamahagi yan sa mga nangangailangan.pero yun cash na tanggap binulsa na din sarili nila,” netizen Hye Yoon commented.
Atty. Adelito Solibaga, municipal administrator of Kananga said that they were surprised when they discovered the relief goods.
“We didn’t expect such discovery because the room where the items were found was sealed. It’s really such a waste because a lot of people needed help after Yolanda,” he said.
