MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Two separate but parallel studies on students and alumni of elite schools De La Salle University and Ateneo De Manila University has reached shocking conclusions,
The study on La Sallians found that 1 out of 3 don’t know how to cross the road without a security guard or bystander standing next to them.
The other study found that Ateneans don’t know how to cross the road, period!
THE HAGUE, The Netherlands (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has denied the Philippine government’s request for the suspension of the investigation of the tribunal’s prosecutor into the alleged crimes against humanity committed in the course of then President Rodrigo Duterte’s “war on drugs.”
In an eight-page decision issued Monday at The Hague in The Netherlands, the Appeals Chamber said it “rejects the request of the Republic of the Philippines for suspensive effect” of the Pre-Trial Chamber’s decision.”
But to show its impartiality, the ICC also added ex-Vice President Leni Robredo as an additional “person of interest.” This new development stems from Robredo’s video message to the United Nations several years ago in which she accused the Duterte administration of “masterminding extra-judicial killings” and citing what Filipino law enforcement authorities call as “palit ulo” where the wife, husband or relative in a so-called drug list will be taken if the person himself or herself could not be found.”
ICC ordered Robredo to show solid proof and documentation of her allegations.
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – It has long been a joke on social media in the Philippines – altered photos of toilets-in-tandem, no partitions, just the opportunity to poop in plain sight of others doing the same thing in public restrooms.
But lo and behold, Genesis Bus Company is building the first-ever, real toilets-in-tandem as seen in this actual photo of their public restroom at their Cubao, Quezon City terminal. (Photo by The Adobo Chronicles).
But there’s more, the commodes are not only partition-lacking, but the restrooms are also non-gender specific, also featuring urinals.
Men, women, transgender men or women, and drag queens can use the toilets at the same time for as long as there are vacancies.
It’s more fun in the Philippines!
