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.

Tina Panganiban-Perez of GMA accused of red-baiting

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Some of GMA's journalists don’t practice ethics in their profession. Irresponsible news for the people. Shame on you, Tina Panganiban-Perez.

In Patricia Non's press conference on the temporary halting of the Maginhawa Community Pantry...

Tina Panganiban-Perez of GMA News:

"To clear things once and for all, meron ka bang links to communist groups? Ano ang basis ng lahat ng redtagging?"

I fucking gasped when I was watching the live presscon. Sobrang irresponsible. Good on Ana Patricia Non for answering graciously and calling this out.

'Ang dumi po ng question na yan.' Ana Patricia Non criticized Perez' question on whether she has communist links. 

Red-baiting, a very common practice from reactionaries and state-sponsored media. Mask-off na talaga ang GMA News.

It's not just Tina Panganiban-Perez. GMA News is basically the Manila Bulletin for TV and Radio now. Fuck this channel 7 and everyone who lets them spread their filth everywhere.

Nakalimutan na yata ni Tina Panganiban-Perez ang basic media ethics of DOING NO HARM. What she asked is not only a stupid question but also endangers Patreng Non and her co-volunteers' security. It was indirect red-tagging. Ano 'to, mouthpiece na rin kayo ng NTF-ELCAC?

"The last thing I need to explain sa mga tao ay kung sino ba ako, kasi malinaw ang intensyon ko," said Non in a Zoom press conference this afternoon.

"So between me and other people na nagkulang ng response, tingin ko hindi dapat ako ang nage-explain kung ano ba'ko, sino ba'ko.... Tigilan po natin ang ganitong pambibintang dahil napaka-delikado po laluna sa panahon ngayon."

Currently facing the dangers of red-tagging (most notably by NTF-ELCAC), Non explained that such accusations do not only endanger the lives of organizers, but also affect individuals who are benefiting from the initiative.

"Kung wala po kayong iaambag sa mga tao at hindi niyo sila kikilalanin, mas mabuti na lang pong huwag tayong magsalita ng ganitong mga bagay, kasi ilang pamilya po 'yung maaapektuhan e," Non said. 

Non, who launched the Maginhawa Community Pantry last Wednesday (Apr. 14), said it was the "agitating" national situation, wherein many Filipinos have been struggling to make ends meet during the COVID-19 pandemic, that inspired her to start the project. 

But after the ripple effect sparked by the initiative came the troubles. Police officers were reported of allegedly profiling organizers of community pantries; posts claimed without basis that communists were behind the project. 

Tina Panganiban-Perez, what kind of stupid question was that? Asking someone if they're CPP is not only unproductive (as if aamin silang CPP sila!), it makes people associate that these individuals and efforts MIGHT be affiliated with the party. That is indirect red-tagging!

Wala na, na-associate na ng mga DDS na makakaliwa ung nagpasimula even go lengths na propaganda daw yang pantry. Kababasa ko lang mga tweets ng mga DDS and it's kinda disappointing.

Isn't Tina Panganiban Perez a graduate of UP Masscomm? If she is, she should know from the historical experience of the university that "do you have ties to communists?" can NEVER be a harmless question. Loaded at malicious yan. How would she feel if SHE herself gets asked that?

For someone who was accused of "abetting rebellion" and thereafter berated by Gloria Arroyo in 2003 when she interviewed Gringo Honasan, Tina Panganiban Perez should have known better. Her line of questioning kowtows with the narrative of the regime / enablers of red tagging. 

I think Tina Panganiban-Perez should apologize for asking an uncalled question. What an irresponsible journalism. 

Tina Panganiban Perez is Done. 

After her past stupidity, she does it again this time on the Community Pantry.

She is no longer a Journalist, But a DeDeEs Propagandist.

Remember this: GMA took park in maligning community pantries and red-tagging of its organizers by bad framing and poor and biased reporting.

While Malacañang said these initiatives should be left alone, it did not specifically address whether it was wrong for NTF-ELCAC, the government's anti-communist task force, to make such accusations. 

Dear Spox Roque, 

Sa ganitong context applicable yung question being "unchristian" (malicious).

Tina Panganiban-Perez, please learn from this exchange.

To ask a red-tagged person if he or she is a communist is to assume truth behind a baseless accusation. Please be more professional and ethical. Two words: Nakakahiya ka!

This is a sincere call-out to all journos, not to fall into the mediocrity of asking anyone not with the government side if they are Communist or part of Communist groups which only encourage the horrible culture of red-tagging. 

Journos should be more sensitive. The elephant in the room should have been addressed to the police or whoever is accusing. Then journo may ask the red tagged for comment.

One of the five principles of journalism is humaneness, of which sensitivity is part. The bottom line here is to ask for proof. And then the one being red-tagged will comment on that proof. That would make the story more informative, if not in-depth.
