Leni Robredo’s Angat Buhay Goes Begging — In America!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Even Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) get bogged down by bureaucracy.

After a year since its founding, Leni Robredo’s Angat Buhay Foundation (Angat Pinas) is finally launching its website. Many have questioned why it has taken that long when common sense dictates a website should have been among the first projects of the NGO.

Well, there’s more.

Angat Buhay is also launching a donation portal to raise funds IN America. That says a lot for an NGO whose mission is to uplift the lives of Filipinos.

Indeed, very uplifting to promote the culture of mendicancy!

Angat Buhay: Palimos sa Amerika? Enter, Loida Nicolas Lewis.

President Bongbong Marcos Is Not Impressed By The National ID

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There was too much hype about the Philippines’ National ID. It was meant to facilitate public and private transactions that required official verification of one’s legal status.

But the law and its implementation were a total failure, starting with the almost two-year delay in the delivery of the plastic document.

Even President Bongbong Marcos is not impressed. He said the ID is a essentially a picture of an ID with no data that backs it up.

So what gives?

Gather all your identification documents when dealing with government offices or public entities like banks. Have your passport, Tax # ID, GSIS or SSS membership card, PhilHealth and Pag-ibig IDs, PhilPost ID, Barangay ID, Cedula, Senior Citizen/PWD/Student ID and all the nine yards.

It’s the reality. If you’re Filipino or live in the Philippines.

Incoming U.P. Students To Sign Waiver On Expulsion For Cutting Classes.

Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City) -Filipino taxpayers have had it for paying for the tuition fees of students of University of the Philippines and other state colleges who cut classes to join protest rallies within and outside their schools.

Beginning this coming school year, those admitted to all government-funded schools will have to sign a waiver agreeing to be automatically expelled and stripped of their scholarships if they use class time for protests or demonstrations.

The Commission on Higher Educations (CHED) told The Adobo Chroniclers that this new policy will ensure that taxpayer money is not wasted on students not serious about pursuing a college education.

The new policy comes just in time for the UPCAT (U.P. College Admission Tests) June 3 & 4.

So to all Iskolar ng Bayan, take note!
