Duterte Not Only A Murderer But Also A Thief, Says The Opposition

Leave a comment

A21B5FDE-5BB1-4E43-A3DE-977AD63D2B09MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The political opposition has long accused Rodrigo Duterte of being a ‘murderer’ because of what they claim to be extrajudicial killings linked to the President’s war on drugs.

Now, the opposition has a new label for Duterte.  They’re calling him a thief.

The new accusation from the opposition came just hours after Duterte was quoted saying that he’d rob the banks in order to bring home Filipinos in Kuwait who are victims of employer abuse.

My, my, my. The opposition needs to work on their sense of humor which apparently is non-existent.

U.P. Diliman To Implement A New Rule For Incoming Male Students

Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) –  The much-delayed release of the results of the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT) is scheduled for today, April 30.

But for incoming male students at U.P. Diliman, passing the entrance exams is not enough.

According to a new requirement set by the U.P. Diliman Board of Regents, all incoming male students will have to undergo a physical exam.

The Board said that it wanted to make sure that the new students will not cause any embarrassment to the University should they decide to participate in the campus’ annual Oblation Run where male students run around naked as part of a protest against a chosen political issue.

A member of the Board of Regents spoke to The Adobo Chronicles on condition of anonymity and he said that the Board wants to make sure that the incoming male students “ay malaki ang hinaharap,” (They have a bright future)
