Donald Trump Can’t Take The Heat In Manila!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ex-US President Donald Trump can’t take the heat from his indictment in New York, so he took some time off to visit the Trump Towers in Manila’s Century City.

But alas, the heat in Manila was equally unbearable, with temperatures reaching the 90’s (that’s Fahrenheit) .

So the Donald left his suite in Makati to get some cool relief with a glass of halo-halo (Filipino shaved ice snack) in Divisoria, Manila’s bargain center for everything — from clothes to houseware to plants to food.

He was spotted wearing a white sleeveless t-shirt, a far cry from his usual full regalia of coat and tie.

He may have been trying to be incognito, but his blonde hair gave it all away.

Senato Raffy Tulfo Running For President…

… is very promising, according to former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV.

Senator Robin Padilla Proposes New K to 16 to Replace K to 12!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Congress seems bent on overhauling the country’s education system to make Filipinos more competitive in the international academic and professional arena.

Just days after Representative and former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo proposed a new K+10 +2, Senator Robin Padilla filed his own bill in the Upper Chamber.

Padilla’s bill proposes to replace the existing K to 12, with K to 16. He says there is nothing new about his proposal. It just makes clearer the number of years Filipinos spend in school from their Kindergarten years till graduation from the university.

K to 16 is inclusive of Kindergarten, 6 years in elementary, 4 years in junior high, 2 years in senior high and 4 years in college. Padilla said the K to 12 program has been discriminatory of college students because it left them out of the equation.
