MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines’ inflation rate dropped to 2.7% in June, the lowest in the last 22 months, and Vice President Leni Robredo is very concerned.
”Nakakbahala,” (it’s concerning) Robredo said. “It’s proof that under the Duterte administration, everything is on the decline, whereas our country should be moving up,” she told The Adobo Chronicles.
She promised that under a Robredo presidency, this will never happen.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In his desperate attempt to criticize Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s foreign policy, Inquirer columnist Richard Heydarian’s brain went blank.
But Inquirer says the newspaper doesn’t pay for empty columns, so it asked Heydarian to fill in the blank.
Heydarian did and Inquirer published an erratum:
BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – Baguio has moved quickly to deal with the stinky situation resulting from the closure of a major dumpsite in the city.
With the suspension of Irisan dumpsite, city residents have been advised that garbage collectors will no longer collect biodegradable trash (nabubulok).
But not to worry. The Baguio City Council has passed a resolution authorizing the shipment of compostable waste to Australia.
A spokesperson for the City Government told The Adobo Chronicles that two large shipping containers will arrve shortly and will be stationed at City Hall’s parking lot. Residents can then bring their nabubulok trash to City Hall.
Once full, containers will be shipped to Australia for composting. The compost will then be shipped back to Baguio to be used as fertilizer by fruit and vegetable farmers in neighboring La Trinidad.
All’s well that ends well in the Summer Capital of the Philippines.
