on Ondoy:

The BBC and CNN weather forecasters predicted the size and intensity of this storm three days before it hit Luzon, and somehow the government of the Philippines missed it. They made no preparations nor did they inform the public of the possibility of such a disaster, only at noon on Saturday after seven hours of tremendous rainfall did they finally figure out that people were in danger, when hundreds of text messages flooded into local radio and TV stations. Says a lot about who is really watching out for the "people", and who are just feeding off the fat of the land.
