MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Despite the hullabaloo and political undertones of the Philippine government’s threat to not renew the broadcasting franchise of ABS-CBN, experts agree it’s in keeping with the law.
The television network has been called out for being critical of the government and for alleged unpaid government loans.
While optional retirement has been reduced to 56, current Philippine law still mandates compulsory retirement for citizens reaching age 65.
ABS-CBN is 65 years old now and is proud of its more than six decades ‘in the service of the Filipino.’
Experts say no one is above the law, not even the network owned by the Lopezes.
”Corporations are people and people must obey the law. ABS-CBN must retire and shut down for good,” one Constitutional expert said.
I am deeply concerned about the continued decline in the Philippines’ inflation rate.
I read on Facebook as well as on Rappler’s Twitter account that the country’s inflation rate for the month of June is down to 2.7%. That’s the lowest in the last 22-month period.
Nakakabahala.
I challenge the Duterte Administration to immediately institute all measures possible to reverse the declining trend for the greater good of the Filipino people.
Our economy should improve upwards, not downwards.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) Following a major cleanup drive in the country’s capital, the roads are now actually, well, roads again. This, after Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and his team cracked down on vendors that were obstructing Divisoria, Carriedo, and Bluementritt Streets.
Now, Moreno has vowed to take his cleanup drive to Malacañang which is physically IN Manila and therefore technically within the jurisdiction of the city government.
In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Moreno said it is his intention to rid Malacañang of “obstructionists and incompetents.” Just like the obstructionist vendors of Divisoria, Carriedo and Blumentritt.
His first stop: the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).
