The Vice President of the Philippines, Jejomar Binay, is taking advantage of the calamity according to international news agency CNN’s iReport.
The report published on November 17, said "Binay is putting his name on the foreign relief goods for his campaign for the next presidential election".
Binay has been the subject of ridicule in social networking sites, and is always been tagged as traditional politician.
In a 7.2 magnitude quake that hit Bohol and Cebu on October 15, Binay's team went to affected areas to distribute 8,000 bags of relief goods, Netizens lambasted Vice President Jejomar Binay when a photo of relief goods stored inside blue bags with his name circulated online. Cybercitizens are wondering if Binay used his own money for those packed goods. They also see it as a form of early campaign for presidency.
And now at the height of typhoon Haiyan, another photo as shown below of relief goods with sticker of the vice president attached to the white plastic bag is also circulating online. And as before it hit public clamor, Binay’s spokesman Joey Salgado issued clarification via Twitter.
“Per report of the OVP relief team, relief goods were in plain white plastic bags. Matter is being investigated” “To clarify, OVP relief goods are in plain white plastic bags, no markings. Thanks” he said in another tweet.
“Relief bags with stickers were donated by Engr. Nelson Golez of Iloilo. Plain white bags are from OVP,” Salgado tweeted later on Friday.
