MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila bureau) – Malacanang has announced that President Rodrigo Duterte will take three days off from his very hectic schedule to rest while rumors point to Vice President Leni Robredo as having contracted the dreaded foot and mouth disease.
Foot and mouth disease doesn’t usually affect humans — only cattle — but Robredo must have been exposed to a mutant strain.
The rumors started to spread on social media after a CNN interview with Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano who was asked if he thinks Robredo started on the wrong foot upon her designation as Drug Czar.
Cayetano replied, “She started on the wrong mouth.”
