A group of supertyphoon Yolanda survivors criticized President Aquino for his alleged “incompetent” response a year after the tragedy.
“It is clear that P-Noy (Aquino’s monicker) only listens to voices in his head and not to us Yolanda survivors who are supposed to be his bosses,” Dr. Efleda Bautista, chairperson of People Surge, said in a statement.
“We have felt a year’s worth of the government’s vicious abandonment, corruption, deceit and repression, and have seen a year’s worth of news and studies that confirm this situation,” Bautista added.
People Surge was reacting to Aquino’s statement against his critics over the government’s response to help the survivors of the massive typhoon that killed more than 6,000 people during its onslaught on Nov. 8, 2013.
Aquino made a speech in Guiuan, Eastern Samar which centered on his counter message to his critics. “Despite our initiatives, I have a feeling that tomorrow, someone will still claim I ignored Tacloban.
I leave it to you to find out who are saying this,” Aquino said Friday.
Aquino said he would leave it to the public if his critics were correct that he deliberately left out Tacloban.
