Colonoscopy is a medical prodecure that checks for abnormalities in the colon.  It is often described as a preventive measure because of its ability to nip polyps which can potentially turn into cancer.  

Endoscopy is an examination of the upper part of the gastrointestinl tract.

Both are usually outpatient procedures.

Today, Duterte challenged his No. 1 critic, Senator Antonio Trillanes, to undergo a brain scan to check for abnormalities and the current status of his mental capacity.  The President said Trillanes should also make public the results of the brain scan.

Presidential Spoksperson Harry Roque told The Adobo Chronicles that the President is very concerned about Trillanes’ mental health considering the many unfounded and stupid statements about Duterte that he has been spreading during his press conferences.

”Just like the President, Senator Trillanes is a public official who should be transparent about his health status,” Roque said.

Senator Bam Aquino To Cousin Kris: Just Stick To Show Business

1007C880-BB5B-4CB7-9588-666BE4B03E28MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Incumbent Senator Bam Aquino has some  unsolicited advice for his cousin Kris: Just stick to show business!

Bam’s advice came on the heels of the recent Pulse Asia survey showing him dropping from No. 12 to No. 20 in the list of possible 2019 Senatorial candidates. He was closely followed by Kris.

Political analysts say that if both Aquinos will run in 2019, they will split the Opposition vote.

”This is not the time to engage in cousin rivalry,” the Senator said. “One of us has to go, and it has to be Kris.  I have the experience and credentials, she doesn’t.  She should just come out of retirement and start hosting her own TV shows again.”
