MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippine Senate has its hands full these days — especially around health issues.

It hasn’t yet concluded its hearing on the bungled Dengvaxia vaccine which has been administered to more than 800,000 Filipino school kids but already, it has lined up another health investigation.  This time, it has something to do with Raissa Robles’ Marcos Martial Law book, ‘Never Again.’

Hospital emergency rooms are reporting a sudden spike in nosebleed cases.  While the cause of the nosebleed remains a mystery, authorities have established a common denominator among the emergency cases: all of them developed the strange phenomenon while reading Robles’ book.

Is it a virus imbedded in the book’s pages?  Is it a case of witchcraft? Or does this border on the ‘miraculous?’
