Two musicians/artists shared their disgust over the neglect committed by the Aquino admin on the goods donated by other countries for the Yolanda victims.
On October 3, Bureau of Customs (BOC) disposed lots of donation from Belgium, US, and also Norway due to being expired.
The goods were donated in 2014 and then announced as abandoned in June 2017 since the donors and then consignees failed to get an exemption from the payment of taxes and duties from the Department of Finance which happens to be required before the shipment will be released.
These donations includes clothing, diapers, and medical supplies could possibly help a large number of Yolanda victims who were extremely needy throughout those time.
The news reached Lea Salonga who expressed her anger and she blamed the corruption or red tape for what happened to the donations.
Her Facebook friends also expressed their anger because the government failed to give any exemption to the donations even though numerous Yolanda victims needed it.
“Never distributed because donors did not apply for tax exemption”?????!!!! WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFEEEEEEKKKK” - Luz Lor stated.
“What they must really mean was the Phil government didn’t get enough BRIBES to have any incentives to actually help the Filipino people who were already suffering , while these corrupt politicians sit high and safe and dry in their castles.” - she added.
Even artist Jed Madela shared his anger against the people who were accountable for what happened to the Yolanda donations.
Madela moreover would like the people who neglected the donation really should be put on curse.
Until these days, critics blamed the Aquino admin for what occurred and asking why the government didn’t exempt it from paying taxes.
