MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Bongbong Marcos has just signed a new Executive Order banning the sale of balloons throughout the entire Philippines.

The move was prompted by the recent discovery of a Chinese spy balloon in the skies of Western United States.

In a statement, Malacañang said that the ban is aimed at protecting the Philippines’ security and sovereignty.

“We will not allow any country — friend or foe – to spy on us,” President Bongbong Marcos reportedly said.
