2014 Annual Message of the Chairman

Year 2014 has ended. With hopes and vision, we started it nothing from the ruins of super typhoon Haiyan. Optimistically with great enthusiasm, our pace continued and with available resources at hand, we never falter nor pause. It is regretful that we as group lost the opportunity to be of help to the victims. The individual contributions of comrades from rescue, relief operations to recovery in different avenues outside the framework are highly appreciated no matter how simple and unpublicised. As we continue, we developed new ideas for rania Child Development Center (rCDC) and its would-be community policy, revision and updates of curricula—school and subjects, evaluation methods and instruments, and additional and realignment strategies for incoming operations. The registration to Department of Trade and Industry expired last November 2014 and renewed with new address with Barangay Colawen, Pastrana, Leyte from Makati City. Surigao is still part of the plan. The registration to UKCC for international operation is on preparation pending UK government requirements. As we lack enough access to resources to work and start, we worked individually in 2014 as Alexander the Great’s army in diversity, scattered for survival and family needs but we don’t lost the courage to remain and look forward to be together to work as one for our vision. The facilities---school buildings, sports and recreation complex, housing units and dormitories, and farm facilities remained in blue print for inaccessible funds. The hiring and training programs for professionals, social workers and volunteers to work with pending implementation dependent on the budget release. The benefactors in 2014, four (4) generous persons came with multi-million funding proposals but all are rejected by your humble Chairman for the risks involved. UNDP grant of GBP500,000 through the U.N. Foundation (which approved and certified in 2011) remains part of rCDC outstanding fund. UNDP through its representative, in 2013demanded an accomplishment report. I transmitted a message to UNDP for my failure to submit a report and my explanation is reconsidered. Before the end of 2014, UNDP notified me of the UNDP findings on its financial report that the fund granted to rCDC of GBP 500,000 is unliquidated. The UNDP insinuated the submission of liquidation report. So as expected, your Chairman explained again. The explanation I made to UNDP is almost the same with the 2013 explanation. How can I submit a liquidation (like in 2013 accomplishment) report if the fund is not spent for it is not released to me by the paying bank? I suggested to the concerned bank and UNDP to release my fund to my bank account but both failed for their irregular and extortionist and corrupt procedures of payment. UNDP is shameless and insensitive (makapal ang mukha) in demanding reports from me. Another GBP500,000 fund (from my personal fund), for construction of facilities in Pastrana, Leyte, is unlawfully held by FinCEN of U.S. Treasury. The US$5.8 Million fund of rCDC and other funds of $10 Million and $15 Million are also held unlawfully by IMF. I made some compromises and negotiated with Ms Christine Lagarde but to no avail. Both FinCEN and IMF suffering from paranoia and controlled by Satan, do not formally and criminally charge me nor rCDC in Court for any offense or violation as they do not have any valid issues against me as they insinuated “tax evasion, “money-laundering”, “terrorist financing” ek ek. They just do not want to release our funds to delay our charitable and humanitarian undertakings. Less than a month before the end of the year, we suffered again from another super typhoon Ruby and storm Seniang. With God’s mercy and love, we remain standing. Let us all welcome year 2015 with unfaltering but stronger hopes. We wish to start rCDC operations in this year. God bless you all and I wish you and your family the bests in life free from worries and deceptions. I desire you to be free from desiring the deceptive bests in life for they pull you far away from the real good things in life. RANNIE C. AGUSTIN Chairman
