"MANILA - The House committee on appropriations on Tuesday approved a consolidated bill abolishing the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), citing its failure to immediately rescue and provide relief to victims of tropical storm Ondoy.

The still unnumbered consolidated bill, “Strengthening the Philippine disaster risk reduction and management system,” seeks to replace NDCC--a council convened only when need arises—with the permanent National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC)."

Fact : NDCC has caused a great deal of embarassment to the Filipinos.

Fact: When someone says, "rubberboat" the first thing that comes to my mind is the NDCC.

...so they're planning to replace (the) NDCC with NDRRMC, quite long for an abbreviation if you ask me.

I think the real reason why they want to abolish the NDCC, aside from the fact that it sucks, is to let the Filipinos forget of the government's failure and negligence; and take note, the election is fast approaching the political candidates should get rid of the ugly truths from their "saintly" professional qualifications.

One thing to point out: it doesn't matter and it wouldn't change anything if they would replace the NDCC, with another council having the same members straight from NDCC.

That would be one ugly truth and really stupid too.
