I fail totally to understand how ,in a country that has, throughout history,been subject to frequent and often devastating tropical storms,there appears to be no workable prevention or rescue plan in place . The population appear to be resigned to living in home-made wood and bamboo shacks, with no built-in concrete emergency shelters ; the present government , led by someone whose very name conjures up images of corruption and dereliction of duty,seems to be totally incapable of initiating or managing ANY kind of workable disaster relief program. How I pity the poor, starving , homeless ,grieving,populace of what SHOULD be a tropical Paradise .
