REYKJAVIK, Iceland (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – Until recently, Filipinos wanting to visit Iceland needed a travel visa. Not any more. The Nordic country has just announced that it has added the Philippines among countries whose citizens are not required to obtain a travel visa.
The announcement came just weeks after Iceland sponsored a U.N. Resolution calling for an investigation of President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs which has allegedly killed thousands. Extra-judicially, that is.
Iceland is a dream travel destination for Filipinos because they won’t ever miss their favorite shaved ice snack, halo-halo. There’s a lot of ice just laying around in Iceland.
There’s one caveat, though. Filipinos wanting to avail of this no-visa policiy must prove they or members of their family must prove they are EJK victims.

In a move that tops all gender-neutral initiatives, the City of Berkeley is now asking its citizens to start referring to people as “it.
Talk about equality and political correctness!
LGBTs, animals and things are now on equal footing with biological males and females.
So start working on your new vocabulary: ithood instead of womanhood; itpower instead of manpower.
