My former Economics professor Winnie Monsod said last night on her News on Q segment that Ondoy brought out the best and the worst in us. She enumerated four sources of human errors that made things worst during Ondoy: 1. PAG-ASA’s lack of equipment to predict the amount of rainfall a typhoon would bring; 2. the NDCC ignoring much of PAG-ASA’s warnings and its own cluelessness as to which area needed to be helped first; 3. cars parked on main thoroughfares which later blocked the way for rescue teams; and 4. residents refusing to be evacuated because they feared that their homes will be looted (and some actually were looted) if left behind.
