1 | Philippines: Anonymous Blog Exposes Controversy | Philippines: Bolongana nampiseho zava-mahavariana |
2 | In a country where government budgetary allocation for education is steadily decreasing every year, shortages of classrooms, school tables, chairs, among others are the stuff of news every opening of classes. | Any amin'ny firenena izay tsy mitsahatry ny mihena isan-taona ny tetibola atokan'ny fanjakana ho amin'ny fampianarana, dia maresaka fandre isaky ny fidiran'ny taon-tsekoly ny tsy fahampian'ny trano sekoly, na dabilio, na seza ankoatra ny zavatra hafa maro ihany koa. |
3 | To cope with the lack of educational facilities, public schools often rely on donations. | Mba enti-mamaha olana izany tsy fahampian'ny fitaovan-tsekoly izany dia voatery miankina aminn'y fanampiana ny sekolim-panjakana. |
4 | Such was the case with the Sangat National High School of San Fernando, Cebu when a foundation headed by a former town resident now based in the U.S. donated books and computers to the school earlier this year. | Toy izany no ataon'ny Lisea Sangat any an-tanànan'i San Fernando, Cebu raha nanolotra boky sy solosaina ho an'ny sekoly vao haingana tamin'ity taona ity ny fikambanana mpanome fanampiana iray tarihina mponina tany amin'io tanàna io taloha fa efa mipetraka any Etazonia kosa amin'izao fotoana izao. |
5 | Sadly, the beneficiary students of the southern Philippine municipality never got to benefit from the donations. | Saingy indrisy moa, fa tsy nahita izay volombolon'izany fanampiana izany akory ny mpianatra tokony iantefan'ny fanampiana tany amin'ity atsimon'i Philippines ity. |
6 | What happened? | Fa inona no nitranga? |
7 | Photos uncovering the fate of the donations appeared online in the anonymous blog, Taga San Fernando[fil]. | Nisy sary maromaro ary naneho ny niafaran'ireo fanampiana ireo avy tamina bolongan'olo-tsy fantatra, Taga San Fernando[fil]. |

9 | Taga San Fernando explains: | Manazava i Taga San Fernando: |
10 | The computers, accessories, and books were donated by the Bless of Mind Foundation headed by San Fernando resident Racquel Kristina Enad. These were intended for Sangat National High School. | Tonga tany amin'ny seranana iraisam-pirenen'i Cebu (CIP) tanin'ny 15 mey 2008 avy any Etazonia ireo solosaina, kojakoja miaraka aminy ary boky voalaza ireo ary nalefa ho an'ny sekoly. |
11 | The said computers, computer parts, and books arrived at the Cebu International Port (CIP) last May 15, 2008 from the USA with the Sangat National High School as consignee. | |
12 | These were contained in three 40-footer container vans. | Tao anaty kontenera telo ireo rehetra ireo. |
13 | These were released with the help of the contacts of Nonoy Reluya, husband of San Fernando Mayor Neneth Reluya. | Tafavoaka ireo entana ireo noho ny fanampian'ny olom-pantatr'Atoa Nonoy Reluya, vadin-dRatoa Neneth Reluya Ben'ny tanànan'i San Fernando Mayor. |
14 | However, instead of being turned-over directly to Sangat National High School, these were brought to the municipal hall where the mayor began picking for the good ones. | Nefa raha tokony hivantana tany amin'ny Lisea Sangat ny entana dia nivily ho any amin'ny lapan'ny tanàna ka nanomboka nifantina entana tao ny Ben'ny tanàna. |
15 | When Glenna Plarisan, the Sangat National High School principal, complained and this reached the media, the mayor got angry and ordered the donated items delivered in dump trucks and dumped on the grounds of the said high school. | Raha nitaraina ny talen'ny Lisea Sangat Ratoa Glenna Plarisan, dia ren'ny haino aman-jery izany, tezitra ny Ben'ny tanàna ka nanome baiko hamindra ny entana ao anaty fiarabe mpandroaka fako ary hanary azy eo an-tokotanin'ny sekoly voalaza (na boky na solosaina). |
16 | The blog invited furious reactions with more than 400 comments posted. | Nahatezitra ny mpamaky ny famakiana izany tantara izany ka nihoatra ny 400 ny fanehoan-kevitra. |
17 | According to the blog owner, the deluge of responses resulted to the site's reaching its limits which led him to move his coverage of the issue to a second blog[en]. | Araka ny voalazan'ny tompon'ny bolongana, noho ny fahabetsahan'ny valinteny dia tsy nahazaka intsony ilay vohikala ka nahatonga azy hamindra ny fitantarany tamina bolongana faharoa[en] ary nafindrany ao ihany koa ny fitantarany [sy ny sary vitsivitsy]. |
18 | A case against the mayor is now pending at the Ombudsman Office. | Efa napetraka any amin'ny Biraon'ny Mpanelanelana (mpiaro ny olompirenena) moa ny fitoriana ny Ben'ny tanàna. |
19 | Meanwhile, a commenter posted the text of an email from one of the donors to Mayor Reluya's husband that defended the mayor. | Mandritra izany fotoana izany, dia namoaka ny mailakan'ny iray amin'ireo nandefa ny fanomezana tany amin'ny vadin'ny Ben'ny tanàna Reluya izay mpiaro azy rahateo ny manome heitra iray. |
20 | However, this only raised more questions: | Na izany aza, dia niteraka fanontaniana maro izany: |
21 | * Why was there no proper turnover of the items to the schools in San Fernando? | |
22 | * Your defenders say the pictures are exaggerated. | * Miteny ny mpanohana anao fa tafahoatra ny sary. |
23 | Are they saying these were doctored? | Te-hiIaza ve izy ireo fa namboarina ireny sary ireny? |
24 | Are you denying that your people dumped the books on the ground? | Lavinao ve ny filazana fa natsipy tamin'ny tany ny boky ? |
25 | Are those not the town dump trucks that carried the computers that were obviously dis-assembled? | Moa ve tsy ny fiarabe mpitondra fako no nitondra ny solosaina, izay hita miharihary fa voasokatra sy nosaratsarahina ? hatao inona ? |
26 | For what? usable parts? | Hakana ny kojakoja ao anatiny ? |
27 | * Is this the way you turnover donated items to their beneficiaries? | * Tahaka izao izany no fanomezanareo ny entana amin'ny omena azy ? |
28 | For Mr. Steve Enad, don't you feel insulted by how the donations were handled when it arrived? | Ho an'Atoa Steve Enad : Moa ve tsy mahatsiaro ho afa-baraka ve ianao tamin'ny fomba nanaovana ireo fanomezana ireo tany ampahatongavana ? |
29 | The pictures say more than a million words … please look at them closely. | Mahalaza noho ny teny 1 000 000 ireo sary ireo…Koa jereo tsara kely aza fady. |
