No I wasn't saying that - I was saying that the percentage of Red Cross donations to Philippines that ACTUALLY go into the POCKETS of corrupt officials is a tiny amount. Of course there is waste and administrative costs. But embezzlement - yea probably around 5 percent but no one can ever know... the point is we need to help and the Red Cross is the best way I know of.
