MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Duterte Administration has been in the headlines recently for public statements supporting local ordinances that ban tambays (loiterers) in streets and public places. It has also been criticized for uplholding a ban on Filipino men who go half-naked outside of their residences.
Today, Spokesperson Harry Roque clarified that the half-naked ban only applies to men who do not have a fit body or six-pack abs. “The beauty of Filipino men is part of our inherent natural resource,” Roque said.
So go ahead — if you have the body like Zac Efron, don’t be afraid to flaunt it. You are part of our tourist attractions.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Leni Robredo flunked her first try at the bar exams. Now she’s at risk of being disbarred.
The Judicial Bar Council (JBC) is seeking to disbar the Vice President for violation of her lawyer’s oath.
”By continuing to go against the decision of the duly-constituted Supreme Court in ousting Maria Lourdes Sereno from her post as Chief Justice, Atty. Robredo is all but going against her oath to abide by the law. She therefore has no business being in the law profession” a spokesperson for JBC told The Adobo Chronicles.
The High Court recently affirmed its 8-6 decision ousting Sereno with a similar 8-6 vote on the latter’s Motion for Reconsideration.
JBC added that Robredo’s actions is tantamount to contempt of court.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A large group of Filipino lesbians is set to stage a rally in front of Malacañang Palace this weekend to protest the Duterte Administration’s crackdown on street loitering.
The group decided on this mass protest after hearing of increasing police action against tambays (loiterers).
Apparently it was case of ‘lost in translation.’
The lesbians heard it wrong. They thought it was a government crackdown on ‘tomboys,’ a widely-used term to refer to lesbians.
