Manila Goes 100% Airconditioned!

9898AF70-066A-4878-BFB7-A0EA496726A1MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – May is the hottest month in Manila with an average temperature of 85°F (30°C).  

Thanks to airconditioned taxis and buses, commuteres can comfortably go from one point to another without having to bear extreme heat.

But majority of the population commute by jeepney, those open, military-style, King-of-the-Road mode of transportation.

Leave it to Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada who has implemented a unique program that makes commute within the city 100% airconditioned.  Yes, jeepneys included.

Facebook Deactivates Juana Change’s Second Account

E8AD1CB7-A861-406E-B7FE-4200B85DA2CD.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler is reporting that Facebook has deactivated Juana Change’s (a.k.a. Mae Paner) Facebook account because it violated the social media giant’s community standards.  Specifically, FB says that Juana Change may not be the name that Paner uses in her daily life.

But no worries, Paner has a second account in which she uses her real name, along with her made-up name.

But alas, even this second account was deactivated by Facebook.  The reason? The profile photo Paner uses for this account is not hers,  but of infamous TV talk show host Willie Revillame.

Sorry, Juana Change, there’s no way around Facebook’s community standards.
