Washington, D.C. – President Barack Obama has nominated CNN’s Anderson Cooper to be the next U.S. ambassador to the Philippines. The White House announcement on the nomination came on the heels of Cooper’s live reporting on the aftermath of super typhoon Haiyan which has devastated many cities and towns in Central Philippines. He is the host of the popular CNN news program, AC 360. His reports from Tacloban, the worst-hit among the cities in the province of Leyte, gained both praise and criticism.
Many Filipinos, including expatriates from all over the world, have praised Cooper’s early coverage of the devastation in Tacloban and the Philippine government’s rescue and relief efforts which he described as lacking in coordination and clear strategy. On the other hand, Cooper earned the ire of Philippine President Noynoy Aquino who asked for “greater accuracy” in reporting on his government’s relief efforts and to focus on the strong spirit of the Filipino people in facing this calamity. Cooper responded on his news program that accuracy has been his hallmark as a journalist and that his reporting had always pointed to the enormous strength and fighting spirit of the Filipino people.
A Filipino news anchor, Korina Sanchez, speaking from her air-conditioned broadcast studio in Manila, also criticized Cooper for his reporting on the government’s less than stellar response to the needs of Haiyan survivors. Sanchez said Cooper did not know what he was talking about. Cooper then challenged Sanchez to do her own reporting at “ground zero” in Tacloban. Sanchez is the wife of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas who is supposed to lead government relief and rescue operations.
In nominating Cooper, Obama said that the CNN journalist is fully qualified for the job and brings with him extensive knowledge and experience with political, social and other issues plaguing foreign governments, including the Philippines. Obama said that Cooper has also proven himself to be fearless, independent, and sensitive to the interest and needs of both the U.S. and its long-time ally the Philippines.
There seems to be bipartisan support in the Senate for Cooper’s nomination. That in itself is a rarity in America.
The Adobo Chronicles 
This is so deserving of him. As a Filipino, now a naturalized US citizen I so admire Mr. Cooper’s unbiased reporting. Just like what you read in the Bible, The Truth Will Set Us Free. It is expected for Korina to defend her husband but she should have not refuted Mr. Coopers reporting as he is from ground zero reporting the actual facts while she is blindly fed with selective facts that the Aquino Govt. wanted to go on press. Her reaction just sealed her fate not to become the next first lady and jeopardizes her husband’s political career. It is just too bad that this Aquino govt. acted like a slow boat to China in responding to the needs of Yolanda victims. Like what Christian Amanpour mentioned in an interview with Pinoy, this could be a defining moment of Aquino’s presidency, too bad it is something that put him on a bad light that people will remember negatively in the history of Philippine governance. It is a travesty of justice when you leave dead people rotting in streets for days. Put this scenario if it is your loved ones, would you allow this to happen? It is in our culture that we respect the dead and provide a decent internment for their bodies but what the Aquino Government have done is a flagrant disrespect of our culture.
Mr. Cooper I applaud you for reporting the truth. Your reporting ignited a spark that made the Phil Government and the whole world think for a moment and resolved to emulate the manner of which people should be informed and get their news. So much sentiments of support are pouring in in news media and other social websites for your job well done and as a Filipino I THANK YOU for your candor and honesty and I couldn’t be more happier if in your next job you uncover the whole truth about the Pork Barrel scandal that plague our nation, so the culprits will pay and suffer, then corruption will be a history in Philippine government.

For those who defend the Phil govmt officials, had AC 360 not reported the tragedy with facts and pictures, those officials would have stayed in their high chairs with feet up along with K Sanchez. Truth is, these officials had a history of hoarding relief goods from past – repack them and stamp their name on it in shameless self-promotion! The govmt did not prepare, otherwise they would have mobilized what little resources that should have been put in place in neighboring islands deemed not affected by typhoon. How is it that the mayor of Davao was able to visit the island badly affected and mobilized their resources faster than the national govmt? Even if AC did not report the incompetences, social media did the part. Just look at what the officials did and did not do. Their bumbling idiocy, shameless plugs, and ineptness are especially evident in what their saying to the media – local and international. How can one defend that? Now, they are forced to get off their arse and visit these places because of international presence. Expose! Expose! Expose! Is now the name of the game. One need not be a journalist to join the fray.

When no one expects the magnitude of damage, we dont have that kind of logistic available to us but we have to do everything we can to send what we have. Anderson Cooper showed up in spot of those thousand and thousand of Visayan shore lines. Now tell me and do the math yourself. Help is somewhere else that can be reach.

This thing won’t have lots of comments on the reporting if only our government have prepared themselves before the typhoon came. They should have station our old landing craft with all the infrastructure equipments, mobilize doctors, rescue personnel’s that are not in the path of the typhoon so they could immediately move in after the storm and not wait 3-5 days after the storm before mobilizing things.

Anyone who felt offended by his reporting obviously know it in themselves that they were indeed slow but are just too stubborn to admit it. WE, as in the whole of Philippines, looked stupid to the whole world? You’re either daft or you didn’t read his report at all because nowhere in his article does he ridicule the people of the Philippines or the government, he simply states the fact that he was at ground zero and he did not see any presence of the government at the time of his reporting. Does that sound like ridicule to you?

But when he arrived, people are looking for the dead bodies of their love ones with very little food, very little water and very little medicine.

If we all start looking at everything as black or white, no sugar coating, no sweeping under the rug, no greed, no politics we can begin to work toward a better Philippines, but if we continue to want to hear only nice things reported about us, if we continue to support corrupt officials, if we continue to idolize power and money, if we continue to perpetuate greed among our public officials, let us blame no one if we continue to be immersed in poverty no matter who is in public office. “Let the Philippines move forward, and let it begin with me.”

When Cooper reported the fifth day, he tells what he see, airport is not fix, no sign of search and rescue. They supposed to clear the airport first for easy access for everybody and all help should land in the airport, emergency like that you won’t expect to travel by land it take you days to arrive and no search and rescue, they just assume they’re all dead, how about those people under the debri or floating for sure some are still breathing out there to rescue….it’s the fifth day Cooper was there and it’s devastating to know nothing was done. @med equip you don’t know what you are talking about, they don’t care if you’re eating rice…..it’s all about how you value life any human being is worth saving even you’re criminal.

Apparently, Mr. Cooper made a point..A real one…a fact not just a made up story and Ms. Corina is obviously reacting for her personal interest and not for the common victims of the typhoon. It was much better that a foreign journalist was able to reveal the real-time situation,because as we all can notice, tv stations were handling us news about the on-going relief operations of the government and other local sectors but the truth is only little things has been done..As we can see, the most help received in hand by the victims came from foreign countries..This is an eye opener for the filipinos.Our government is a bulk.

I suggest you listen to the referred report again and again and again and maybe have it written down and translated…. maybe you will then realise Mr. Cooper is only stating the facts and what is lacking, and maybe you will understand why a fellow journalist like Korina who is in the comfort of her well sheltered news room has no credibility in saying that Mr. Cooper who is in Tacloban breathing the air full of death, does not know what he is talking about, and maybe you could also understand why many would say Korina should have kept her mouth shut and maintained professionalism as she is obviously not commenting as a journalist but as the wife of the person who’s supposed to be leading the relief operations. Besides you do not have a vote on this, Mr. Cooper is not running for a position in our country, and what is the point of you stating you know Korina and about you eating rice etc (paki explain). Let us not blame a foreigner who is only stating facts, it is not the foreign reporters who made Philippines look stupid, it is the lack, if not absence of leadership and the way people like you react to factual yet sadly negative comments as if its a personal attack to us filipinos.

Are you blind or just plain stupid? “Respect personalities”?? Thats probably the reason why the Philippines is the way it is right now.

Hey Med Equip,
You really don’t get it. It is the accuracy and unbiased report of Anderson Cooper and the lack of strategy and slow action of our government that is being discuss here. Anderson reported the real situation in Tacloban city, people there are hungry, thirsty and no decent shelter to sleep at night. For five days after super typhoon Yolanda ravage the city, still no enough food for the people to eat and no enough clean water to drink. Imagine that… five days. People from different part of the Philippines and from different part of the world mobilized to donate resources for the sake of the people in the Visayas region and yet after five days, people are still waiting for aid.
I am a Filipino and I am proud of my nationality. I stand for the unbiased and accurate reporting. Journalism base on facts and actual situation happening in the field.
It was Korina Sanchez who started it first stating that “Mr. Cooper does not know what he is saying” while she was just reporting in her air-conditioned studio. Korina reacted base on emotional impulse since she is the wife of DILG secretary Mar Roxas.
