Where is the funding for OFW evacuation?

PCIJ is following the story of what happened to the emergency funding for the OFW's...you know, they money that is supposed to be used for emergencies, like shipping them home when all hell breaks lose?
LINK2...LINK3

The reports are long, but the charges are that the money was "diverted" into the campaign coffers of certain politicians...Don't ask me: I'm a doctor, and all this is "MYGO" (myeyesglazeover) .

I had questioned about Pinoy OFW in Israel...well, now that Haifa is under attack,at least one OFW there is asking to come home... a rocket hit the house next to where she works..and so with the increase in Iranian rockets able to hit Israeli cities, expect the next exodus to come from Haifa and TelAviv...
-------------------------------
Austin Bay has a report on a victory against islamofascist Terrorists in Mindinao...again, not near here...we don't have them here...Here it is the communist NPA, and the army sweep was supposed to have cleared them from the area...(see earlier posts about army checkpoints in Mabuga where we have a farm).

And while surfing the news about the volcano, I ran into this: (scroll down) 0r chinese LINK2

BEIJING — An explosion aboard a bus in southern China killed eight people on Sunday, a government news agency reported, just days after a similar explosion killed 11.
The explosion occurred in Hunan province's Guiyang county....
