    Frustrations with Flood Relief

    By KPARTS  |  Posted August 18, 2012  |  Rizal, Philippines
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Chaos broke out after the president of the Philippines addressed frantic people seeking shelter and food in the wake of a flood disaster. iReporter Kristina Partsinevelos and her filming partner Alex Pritz documented the desperation. Partsinevelos and Pritz used their editor hats and picked a unique angle from which to tell the story of flooding in the Philippines. Not only did they tell you there was an aid shortage, but their video visually told the story as well.
    - Anika3, CNN iReport producer

    Following the devastating floods in early August, many Filipinos are still struggling to put food on their tables. On Sunday August 12th, President Benigno Aquino traveled to Montalban Rizal to address thousands of evacuees about the solutions and challenges of severe flooding. Following his speech, the line for relief goods stretched around the block. Many were left unsatisfied with the President's brief appearance. With more rain expected in the coming weeks, tension is rising for those displaced by the floods.
