The
CASSATE DROUGHT RELEIF OPERATION AND CORY ANNE VERGE FLIP-FLOPS AS A VAP MANAGER
IN HER SECOND JOB.
Some
time in the year 2006 Dave Collins and Derek Pyrah were unhappy that not enough
money flows in the VAP account in the Philippines. This can be demonstrated in
several mails exchanged I have in file. In these mails they ar e
looking for ways to increase their income “for the poor and needy” out side the
Rotary where apparently the collect didn’t work as they wanted to. The Matching
Grand Applications to TRF were slow to produce, too bureaucratic for a Collins
as anxious he can be. They decided to seek instant gratification by inventing
a Darfour situation in
the North of the island in a place named Ubay in the village of Cassate. Remember
the golden rule:
"Expand on an existing
known problem where the people involved can be manipulated with strong emotion."
In that village living
an American missionary form a church, or what ever the Christian denomination
is, called Crossworld. I’ll call it an organization. Her organization built a
camp there that building after building became a modern and a 30 hectares huge place
in the middle of the usual Philippines
décor, poverty, that is, with no really clear purpose, other than in exchange
of some services to children they will have to study the Bible. I
visited the Karr camp – its name- and interviewed Cory Anne for
the Rotary Club of Tagbilaran Web site since she was a member of this club. I
did not really notice any particular compassion towards the poor and needy there;
I even understood that there are instances where she had payable activities as
well.
When Derek visited her camp he was very excited
of what he was seen, and I’m sure the first thing he did is to take
a look in the assets and numbers of her organization crossworld.org that every
one can consult online. But Collins was reluctant to nominate her “manager” fearing
that this may lead to other preferences to his detriment. Eventually, she was
nominated, and like any manager of the VAP was awarded the PHF. It was part of
Derek’s strategy to show the donors how serious his org is and by whom is managed.
But I never knew who was giving his!... May be he was awarding himself…
Back to our Darfour project, it wasn’t an
easy ride for the “brothers”. As
you can read in the mails exchanged Cory Ann has
been the Golden apple of discord once again, because Collins did not digest the
direct contact Pyrah had with her without passing through him first. But that
wasn’t the only disagreement they had. By reading line after line you’ll see
they were looking for the best way to make it a real Darfour so donors can run
to the rescue. Read and judge by yourself.
If exaggerated actions as these were common by the “brothers” I didn’t know that
it was done with the blessing of the “sister”.
In effect, she new the whole scam. At first
she wasn’t really in agreement with it, but after a second thought and some pressure
she said the “I do” Why? Collins and Pyrah couldn’t find
any other place or a credible person as Cory was then to endorse the operation
"Darfour" as a real critical situation “ that
if we don’t act hundreds of children will die from starvation”. Starvation
in the Philippines? Malnutrition, yes, except some isolated cases here and there
no deaths of starvation ever recorded in the Philippines. As for her own benefit
in this operation she gained something her church didn’t allow: A budget to maintain
a day care feeding in Cassate, and also bring a child once in a while to a hospital
“for the picture ” so the VAP can raise 100 times the money she spent.
The operation
Cassate drought relief paid off: A lot of money was sent by many clubs, from
Manila to Cebu, from the US Canada, Australia, corporations and individuals.
Do you know what these children got? A plastic bag they named "bundle
of joy" repeated in
three deliveries. You know what a “bundle of joy” is? The one the children holding
up "for
the picture" A
plastic bag containing I kilo of rice= 20 pesos in 2006, 2 cans of sardines =
10 pesos 1 pack of noodles = 5 pesos. Total per bag= 35 pesos = .70 cents of
the USdollar The pack of milk you see in the photo was donated by a corporation
in Manila. There was only 200 children present which makes it 140 dollars per
delivery but I’ll take Derek’s number that were 500 children. The cost goes to
350 dollars and I’ll take also Collins assertion that he made 5 deliveries and
not 3 as I was told by other sources. This make the total cost of 1,750 dollars.
How much they raised? No one knows. They
instructed the donors to send the money here: To themselves, instead of
the Rotary Club of Tagbilaran account. Cory Anne knew, because she was instructed
also to direct donations –if any- to this account. But she still continues to
collaborate with them. Shame on you!!! Look at the list at your left. It's only
partial but brought more trhan 20,000 dollars in cash plus some goodies from
corporations. From one club only in Hawaii they received $900.00
Of-course, no such account bearing the name
of RC of Tagbilaran existed. Collins pretended that he never received his mail.
The truth is that he didn't know what to tell him about the account name. George
did not understand what RWACS VAP account was, it didn't make sense to him and
send it to RC of Tagbilaran / VAP and was rejected. I forwarded his mail to Collins
and eventually the money was wired. To the RAWCS/VAP account.
That's
where the donnors were instructed to wire donations.Cory anne knew that this
was a rip-off, she was included as a recipient in this mail. She accepted the
job. CLICK

ONE
MORE THING To the RAWCS (Rotary Australia World Community Service) and particularly
to Len Bolden former Chairman for the last 3 and half years and treasurer Jack
Elliott: Gentlemeen, as you can read, they had –and probably still have it- an
account named RAWCS /VAP in a bank in the Philippines with custodians Dave Collins
and Dioscoro UY PP of RCT and manager of this bank. How one can open such an
account in their names? To my knowledge, and the principle is the same all over
the world, to open a corporate account the bank requires corporation constitution
documents, directors, manager and more. Have you authorized Collins and Uy to
use your entity for the opening of a bank account under the name of RAWCS? He
- Derek Pyrah - was directing them to a similar account to his web site until
removed. My
revelations obliged….

TRIAL updated May 1st 2009 Conflicts,
misunderstanding rivalry exists within any group of people that gather to achieve
a common goal, be a club, a church or a fraternity; usually will end up with
the exclusion of one party preserving so the unity of the group, exclusion not
always carefully and rightfully planned and executed. The last place you would
have expect this to happen is the Rotary International. Is this the first time
that happened? We don’t know. Don’t count on Rotary to tell you, neither on active
Rotarians. It’s a secret. Click

OTHER PEOPLE MONEY. WHERE IS IT? Let's take
a walk through history starting some time in the year 2005 and talk  about
