Only in the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The deplorable state of the Philippines where a food bank known as a Community Pantry for the poor (during a crippling Covid-19 recession) was suspended because it is deemed possibly connected to Communists.

Ang community pantry ay manipestasyon ng kakulangang aksyon ng pamahalaan. Tanggapin niyo yan mga DDS. Nang dahil sa pandemya at pagiging inutil ng pamahalaan, marami ang nagugutom at walang trabaho.

The #CommunityPantryPH gave us all hope that despite everything, the Filipino will still choose to be good. But just like any story plots there will always be those who choose to be the antagonist. Ang masakit, sa pagbibida nila walang naaayos na problema. Walang gutom na naiibsan.

People lining up at the Maginhawa Community Pantry were asked to go home because there will be no food distribution today.

May nakikita na namang mali ang gobyerno dahil napupunan ng iba ang kanilang kakulangan.

Redtagging and attacks against the organizer and volunteers of the pantry forced them to pause operations, leaving some families going home empty-handed. 

Only in the Philippines where you will be suspected as communists by the police if you and your neighbours give away free food. 

Where the community tries to solve a problem caused by its government;

And the government sees it as a problem.

Good people are being punished for doing good things.

Two things:

> Nakikita ang kakulangan ng tulong galing sa government. Ayaw nila to.

> Nakikita ng government ang unity ng mga tao through these community pantries. Threat sa kanila na nagkakaisa ang taong bayan, for obvious reason. Mas ayaw nila to.

When did BAYANIHAN (helping our fellowmen) became against the law? Wow Only in the Philippines!

The government doesn't wanna do their job of helping the community (which is the bare minimum) and they also don't want others to help?

Pati Community Pantry hinahanapan ng permit? Kaloka!

Pag Pinoy initiative, ipapatigil kahit maganda ang intensyon.

Pag China, tuloy lang kahit ang sama ng pakay sa Pilipinasnas. Pula ang bandila niyan...ang tunay na mga komunista.

Sa ibang bansa may Community Pantries din. Inilalagay lang or isinasabit sa labas yung extra food nila. Ang kaibahan lang sa kanila ay walang bahid pulitika, walang mainstream medias at cameras na gaya dito sa atin. Nakakalungkot lang.

Bukal sa loob nila ang pagtulong pero ikaw ba naman ang ma redtag at malagay sa kapahamakan ang buhay mo habang tumutulong, hindi ka rin ba matatakot? Lalo na hindi naman sekreto kung ano ang nangyari dun sa mga aktibistang ni red tag ng gobyerno dati na pinatay ng walang kalaban-laban.

One person started this initiative & it spread like wildfire all over the country.

Takot ang gobyerno because they know that the PEOPLE have the POWER.

They'd rather have the people starving at home than see courageous citizens stand up to the occasion & do the government's job.

Parang church, they tell people to fear sinning because they'll go to hell, but then they ask for alms at the end of their sermon...which is highly unethical for it's like the taxes that the government forcefully deduct from our salaries. The only difference is that it's voluntary...but when the church goes from row to row to solicit the alms, everyone gets conscious not to give otherwise they may be seen as stingy and not God-fearing. Fear keeps the church in control of their flock. Donations are deemed plus points in assuring their entry to heaven. 

When the people learn to be independent and collaborate with each other to accomplish specific goals, the government becomes obsolete and unnecessary.

Dati ay naghahanap sila ng ambag, ngayon may nag-aambag ay nireredtag nila. Eh mga putang*na nila pala talaga eh! Porke ang naisip nilang solusyon ay maglagay ng useless na dolomite sa Manila Bay ay ganyan na sila! 

This is the living proof na hindi kukulit ang mga tao sa paglabas nang walang dahilan. Nagugutom sila, lumalabas sila para humanap ng makakain. Kung maayos at sistematiko lang sana ang response ng gobyerno edi wala na o nabawasan man lang ang mga nagugutom.

Walang pipila sa mga Community Pantries kung sapat ang tulong ng gobyerno!

"Tumakbo ayon sa kakayahan, Magtrabaho batay sa sinumpaan." But with what is happening, we got officials that are not qualified to do their job. Magresign na sila kung hirap manindigan. Magpatiwakal kung duwag naman. Hindi namin kailangan Ang Presidenteng bahag ang buntot at sipsip sa mga Instik.

Kaka-Fentanyl utak walang laman.

Ayaw lumabas ng kulambo, takot maambunan.

Bumoto na kasi tayo sa mga may tamang katinuan at hindi kung sino ang popular. Ngayong nalaman natin na tayo ay na scam ng nagtapang-tapangan ay magising na tayo sa katotohanan.

One thing I realized from this pandemic is that if you don't have skills...go for fame!

Fame these days are now the standard of living.

Being how famous are you versus how educated you are is the question...

Bad publicity is now the trend.

By doing this apparent harassment, they are pushing the patience of Filipinos to the limit. Be careful sila, puputok rin ang Pinatubo..... baka soon na.

It is only in the Philippines where the people still support a President that continues to shit on their heads....or are these DDS' are literally "bobo" 

Is there still hope for the Philippines?

No permit required in Pasig to setup Community Pantries

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

'You don't have to be rich to help others': Community pantry organizers share desire to beat hunger. Any small contribution when combined with others generosity become significant especially to those that are truly in need.

Community Pantries have sprung up in Pasig, including the one in Kapitolyo that was looted by a group of women who took all on display including two trays of eggs.

Mayor Vico Sotto says there is no need to secure a permit before opening a community pantry in Pasig City. 

“We commend the individuals who are helping as they can afford. Government has limited resources, so any effort to help others  is very welcome.” 

Kumambiyo si DILG Undersecretary Martin Diño sa nauna niyang pahayag na dapat kumuha muna ng permit ang mga magtatayo ng community pantries. 

Bakit yung USec ng DILG eh hindi alam na hindi kailangan ng permit ang pagtulong? Nakapagtataka lang talaga! Bobo ba siya talaga o nagkukunwari lang na bobo para pahirapan ang mga gusting tumulong?

Random acts of kindness at good deeds ay wala naman dapat talagang permit. Those who can afford pwedeng tumulong na hindi na dapat pahirapan pa na magpaalam at kumuha ng permiso sa gobyerno, lokal man o national.

Eto mismo si Mayor Vico, nanghihikayat pa.

Tama po yan Mayor! Basta huwag lang po pang #lecheflan at gawing #supermarket Ang Community Pantries ha! Umayos lang po tayo ng pila din, magbigay kung ano lang kayang ibigay, at kumuha lang po ng tama, huwag po yung pang one week o one month na ha! Basta to all #CommunityPantryPH mabuhay po kayo!! 

Hay, sana all government officials ganito... Matalino - pinag iisipan kung ano ang tama for the constituents, kind-hearted, totoong public service, highly commendable, top leadership skills, plus too many good stuff to mention, aside the many recognitions he got from many award- giving bodies,  and most of all - GWAPO katulad ko.

Mayor Vico has bei the standard of good governance right now. Not like the former mayor of Davao who I won't even mention as President because he doesn't deserve the position. Amid the pandemic ay walang ginawa kung hindi ngumawa laban sa mga totoong nakatulong, at dilaan ang puwet ng mga BFF niyang Chinese.

Sa Pasig lang ang may IDEAL Working Government who SERVES the People.

Mag-migrate na po kayo diyan.

Thank you very much mayor Vico for your great appreciation to their contributions to our community specially at this time of crisis. Stay healthy and safe.

Ang babaeng dumampot ng dalawang tray ng itlog sa Community Pantry ng Pasig

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Sa ngayon, maraming paraan para sumikat. Pwede kang gumawa ng Youtube channel, sumayaw sa Tiktok o kumuha ng dalawang tray ng itlog sa community pantry.

Buhay na buhay ang diwa ng bayanihan sa mga itinayong community pantry sa iba't ibang bayan na inspired by the Maginhawa Community Pantry organized by Ana Patricia Non. 

Bukod sa mga gulay, de lata, frozen food, isda, may libre rin na mga condom at sanitary napkin akong nakita, pati free health services.

Pero biglang naging instant sikat ang grupo ng mga matatabang babae dahil sinimot ang laman ng isang Community Pantry sa Barangay Kapitolyo, Pasig.

Nakakasama ng loob kasi ang daming mas nangangailangan. The community pantry was to provide for our daily needs, not our monthly provision. Ano yun community grocery o supermarket? Kung may kailangan ka pa para sa susunod na araw, pwede ka namang bumalik at kumuha uli kinabukasan. Ang feeling yata ay mauubusan kaya nag-imbak ng para sa isang buwang supply.

Lalo na yung kumuha ng dalawang tray ng itlog. Ang palusot, ipapamigay daw niya sa kapitbahay niya. Lol. 

Pero nagsumbong yung mga kapitbahay na sinolo niya ang lahat ng itlog.

Nakakahiya if your name is Maricar. Kababaeng tao at buntis pa naman. Nadagdagan na yung Taylor niyang anank na malamang ay hiyang-hiya sa ginawa Ng Ina nila.

Magkano ba ang isang tray ng itlog? Ipagpalafay nating pinakamalaking size na XL na may presyong P200 isang tray. Sa halagang P400 ay nasira reputasyon niya. 

Ok na sana idea kaso parang naging abusado yung iba sa pagkuha ng sobra sa tunay na pangangailangan. Hindi ito distribution of relief goods na agawan ang kadalasang nangyayari. Hindi pwedeng hakot hanggang maubos dahil paano naman yung iba. Dapat ay binibigyan ninyo ng pagkakataong makakuha yung iba pa. 

Ito yung problema sa ibang community pantry, meron pa rin talagang mga putanginang kupal at garapal na hindi yata nakakatikim ng itlog. Hindi ba sila nahihiya? Ang kakapal ng mukha. 

Ewan pero mas natatawa ako doon sa tumangay ng isang tray ng itlog. May leche flan business yata si ate? Ang Alam ko ay Biko ang tinitinda niya. Mukhang nag level-up.

"Give only what you can, take only what you need" dapat. But that's not what's really happening. Abuso na yung karamihan, pumipila rin yung may kaya.

Ganoon kahirap isustain dahil it has lost its purpose and meaning.

Sana kung gaano tayo kagalit sa lumimas ng itlog sa isang community pantry ay ganoon rin kagalit sa mga lumilimas ng kaban ng bayan.

Dahil yung kumuha ng dalawang tray na itlog sa community pantry ay parang kurap na government officials - hindi hirap sa buhay pero nagagawa pa ring maging swapang.

Sana ibaling din natin ang ating galit sa totoong magnanakaw at berdugo na mapanlamang at huwag lang kay ate na kumuha ng dalawang tray ng itlog. Buntis daw kaya baka naglilihi.
