MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Both the Department of National Defense and the Philippine National Police have opposed the lifting of “no tattoo” rule for potential recruits.
“Any good reason why we will lift it? We would like to keep it that way…The military imposes strict rules on haircut and even mustache, why not tattoo? Tattoos are ugly and connotes gangster image,” Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said Monday.
Upon hearing of Lorenzana’s comments, Presidential daughter Sara Duterte, speaking from China; and Whang-0d, the last remaining mambabatok (tattoo artist), speaking from Sagada both said:
”Do I look like a ganster?”
Enough said.
HAINAN, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – Remember that 2016 speech by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte while in China when he introduced BongBong Marcos as the next Vice President? (That was of course assuming Marcos would win his electoral protest against Leni Robredo)
LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berline Bureau) – Philippines’ Vice President Leni Robredo denied rumors that it was billionaire George Soros who invited her and funded her trip to London for a speaking engagement at the London School of Economics (LSE). Soros, whom President Rodrigo Duterte had said is funding the Human Rights Watch that is critical of his administration, is one of the most prominent alumni of LSE.
