Just to fill some of you in:
Whilst much of the rest of the world is spending bucket loads of taxpayers money sending or paying aid to Philippines here on Siargao Island, last evening, 100 Mayors had rented out a resort with grub and disco etc. to p1ss up and dance the night away at taxpayers expense.
Surely the party would have been planned and organised before the typhoon struck Leyte, which is next door to us here on Mindanao, but the party could very easily have been cancelled and the proceeds donated to the relief fund.
So whilst the rest of you are out collecting and/or sending money and aid please don't mind that here in the Philippines the politicians remain drinking and dancing their nights away.
