I've been to where this happen. But you live there. What is your slide (sic) of the story. This is very tragic, but the P government doesn't ever do anything to help the poor. Do they still just keep buying shoes?

the mud slide erased the entire town from the map. they say it was because of illegal logging. everyone got buried 30-40 feet under including an elementary school but the soil was around 100 feet thick in some areas. around 1,400 villagers were buried but they have only found 65 bodies. There were 400 people who were lucky enough to be out of town during the mud slide who got saved.

i think what you are referring to was the former first lady. the president doesn't like buying shoes. she enjoys having her picture taken instead. she's too busy traveling. praying is one of her hobbies too.
