In light of the recent events in the Philippines, I would like to extend the warmest thanks, on behalf of the Filipino people, to the international community for the quick responses. These initiatives you made to reach out to the Philippines warmed the hearts of those in need in the affected regions. Thank you for sending aid to the people in the Visayan region despite your non-affiliation towards us. It may be that some are obligated and some are not, but thank you nonetheless. Your aid will never be forgotten, I promise you that.
I would also like to thank the local international non-government organizations for their initiatives. Lastly, I would like to thank the other private institutions and other local governments for their efforts.
To the foreign aid governments, thank you for filling in the void that our national government seems incapable to do at this time. The amount of relief goods you sent in no doubt will reduce the state of anarchy in these areas. Also, thank you for reducing the task load of the national government in what they needed to provide for in such a state of calamity. At least now they could focus on reconstructing, restoring, and rehabilitating these cities.
To the non-government organizations, other local governments, and institutions, thank you for you relief efforts. Thank you for taking the initiative to help the victims make it through this tough period in their lives.
Now that you have taken care of this angle of the problem resolution, I have to wonder what our national government is doing to rehabilitate the areas destroyed not just by the typhoon, but also by the preceding earthquake. I guess now it is their turn. If only they will respond just as quick.
This is not the kind of Christmas that many of us here wished and hoped to have. But despite our losses, you gave us a glimpse of hope that we can move forward still.
Thank you and may you have a blessed holiday ahead of you.
Greatfully yours,
Czarina
