Disaster Opportunism: Corrolary to Storms, Typhoons thread
« on: December 10, 2012, 02:28:41 PM »
Disaster opportunism is the practice of exploiting a natural disaster, a miserable condition or emergency situation for one's selfish (political or economic) advantage. The phrase was used to describe the U.S. government's reaction to Hurricane Katrina.

Disaster opportunists capitalise or profit from a natural or man-made disaster. It is usually done when people are in a vulnerable state or in shock, and are made to accept situations they would otherwise not find acceptable.

Examples of disaster opportunism:

when politicians put up banners of their faces at relocation centres,

or print their names and faces over relief goods being distributed in evacuation centres during or after a disaster;

publicity stunts of bringing a set of candidates to a relief goods distribution centre, even when they are needed in their own constituent districts;

and artificially jacking up prices of goods and services during or after a disaster. (wikipedia)

last august, 2012.  so who are these other riders, exposed and beaming on the way to disaster relief operations?


President Benigno Simeon Aquino III with Sister Kris and some members of his cabinet and political group Liberal Party rode a military truck to inspect the extent of flood along the streets of Barangay Tunasan in Muntinlupa after distributing relief goods to affected residents in the area, Wednesday,Aug 8,2012.

The photo showed the President with his Liberal Party allies, Bureau of Customs Commissioner Rufino Biazon, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority director general Joel Villanueva, Department of Transportation and Communications Secretary Manuel Roxas and former Akbayan party-list Representative Risa Hontiveros.

Aurora Representative Juan Edgardo Angara, Villanueva and Hontiveros were also seen with the President visiting flood victims who had sought shelter at a public school in Nangka, Marikina, and riding an Army truck with him to check on flooded areas in the same village.

These politicians drew criticism in cyberspace for allegedly trying to bolster their popularity for next year’s elections by distributing relief goods, including repackaged ones that contained their names and photographs.

A number of social networking sites also displayed and slammed images of canned goods bearing photos of politicians, including a hashtag #epalwatch on Twitter, an account named “epalwatch” on the free blog hosting platform Tumblr and a number of pages on Facebook such as the Anti-Epal page.

In epalwatch.tumblr.com, “epal” is defined as “any public official who has his/her name/image on any public signage, public space, and/or public property … or anything that relates to such behavior.” It also described precampaigning as an “epal activity.”

Actress Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan tweeted: “Please lang po, kung tutulong kayo, ’wag n’yo naman gawing promo para sa mga plataporma ninyo. ’Wag kayong epal! Hindi ko talaga kayo iboboto (Please, if you wish to help, don’t make it a promotional campaign for your political platforms. Don’t be scene stealers! I’m not voting for you).”

A Facebook post which had about 3,000 shares was also circulated online. It said: “Fellow Filipinos please spread: Any grandstanding politician who will display his or her photos or banners in relief operations will be photographed, archived and forever mocked in an online site of shame. This is a time for solidarity, not an opportunity for political prospecting. Thank you.”

User @MrFrancisBaraan posted on his Twitter account: “To those politicians whose ulterior motive for sending out relief goods for flood victims is to get reelected, shame on you.”

Twitter user @ederic also posted on his account: “Hello politicians, do not use this disaster for your 2013 campaign. Someone did that during Ondoy. That candidate lost.”

On a positive note, a post on the Facebook page Anti-Epal showed relief operations by the Department of Social Welfare and Development accompanied by the comment: “The DSWD gave out relief goods yesterday. Look at the bag: No names, no faces, just the way it should be.”

Twitter user @mistervader, however, came to the President’s rescue: “My problem with the whole #epalwatch thing vs Noynoy is … if he didn’t do what he did yesterday, we’d call him lazy. The guy can’t win.” Inquirer Research

i think what was slammed was the "electioneering" by his companions, with relief goods having their names and signatures?  as for the guy, well, yes, he "won" with what he did.  besides, he isn't running anymore, and 2016 is a long way off if ever he would think of going the way of gma.
