Update:

Ondoy death toll climbs up to 246. You may wonder, what have the Presidentiables been doing through this whole disaster, as the Philippines had been hit by typhoon Ondoy? I managed to get only information of the things that were done by Villar and Teodoro. Villar is unfortunately, not doing well. He may have been helping with the donations and the relief operations, but we saw a photo, regarding Villar's so-called help:

Now, we are not playing favorites here, we just want to get the word out regarding what the politicians are doing throughout these relief operations. Though this picture is not an assurance that it actually came from him, it is important to let the people know about these speculations. It is up to the people whether to believe this photo, or not. :-)

Next is Teodoro! Teodoro is currently the Department of National Defense Secretary and is the Chairman of the National Disaster Coordinating Council so he has a direct involvement with this matter. Teodoro had been constantly reminding people through his Twitter account (http://twitter.com/giboteodoro) of the things that they could do to help the relief operations. Here are his latest sample tweets:

Aside from this, Teodoro has been reaching out, constantly in order to restore the country, as what is seen in the news.

So does anyone has an idea about Noynoy and Erap? We will keep you posted about the these Presidentiables.

There is, however, an unfortunate news about the PGMA administration, regarding the country's emergency funds. This was taken from the Philippine Star website and it said:

"PGMA used P800-million emergency fund for foreign trips."

"MANILA, Philippines - President Arroyo used up the government’s P800-million contingency fund for emergencies like calamities for her frequent foreign trips, Bukidnon Rep. Teofisto Guingona III revealed yesterday.

“She exhausted not only Malacañang’s travel funds but also the P800-million appropriation for emergencies in the 2008 national budget,” he told radio station dzMM.

He said he based his revelation on a Commission on Audit (COA) report submitted to Speaker Prospero Nograles this week.

'I have a copy of the report. An assistant commissioner of COA even briefed us on their shocking findings,' he said."

Now it's up to you to judge! :-)
