MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s good. It’s bad. No it’s good. No it’s bad.
This sums up the latest pronouncement from the Philippine Statistics Authority on the country’s inflation rate.
Mathematicians may have their own magic potion to understand numbers, but the ordinary Filipinos don’t.
In a single post/graphic, PSA proudly announced that the country’s inflation rate for April this year improved to 6.6.% compared to last March’s 7.6%. But it proceeded to remind Filipinos that in April last year, the inflation rate was 4.9%. Then, it summarizes the post to say that the average inflation rate from January to April this year was 7.9%.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Missosology is the leading beauty pageant website that covers and analyzes major international competitions including Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Earth and Miss International.
Beauty enthusiasts follow the site for the most up-to-date pageant news, but vlogger Pinoy Ako Blog (Jover Laurio) is watching the site’s numbers. She hates beauty so she finds delight when the number of Missosology’s followers goes on a downward trend.
Perhaps she is hoping that those who unfollow Missosology will follow her instead? After all, beauty is but skin-deep.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – When Philippine President Bongbong Marcos challenged members of the Filipino community in Washington, D.C., to “come home to a better Philippines,” he had quite a few specific people in mind.
Among those Marcos was thinking of when he said those words were: certified Kakampink, millionaire Loida Nicolos-Lewis; TNT (tago ng tago) ex-Comelec Chair Andy Bautista, loudmouth Bb. Maharlika, the one person who waved the Gabriela USA banner at a protest in front of The White House, and about a dozen FilAms who were dragged out of a New York hotel where the Philippine President was meeting with the Filipino community earlier this year.
Marcos critics all.
Marcos told The Adobo Chronicles that he was serious about being a friend to all, enemies to none.
