In The U.K., The Chicken Crossed The Road — Away From KFC To Jollibee

72406D44-5343-4694-ACF4-EF8FBF1673F9.jpegLONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – KFC, the old, reliable fastfood chain has apologized to its patrons for the shortage of its prime menu item — chicken.

A shortage of chicken has forced many KFC stores to temporarily close shop.

An investigation conducted by The Adobo Chronicles revealed the reason for the shortage: the chicken has crossed the road — from KFC to Jollibee.

Jollibee, the popular fastfood chain based in the Philippines is about to open its first store in the U.K.

Apparently, British chicken find more joy in being served at a Filipino establishment.

Oh, Chicken Joy!

 

EJKs In The Philippines Worse Than Reported By The News Media

7157292F-021E-4A1D-8D96-1ADBFC70083EMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The extra-judicial killings (EJKs) in the Philippines could even be worse than the 7,000 to 15,000 deaths some claim to be the result of President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs.

Now, it appears that EJKs could reach hundreds of thousands, even millions.

As a result of the Philippine government’s all-out war against Dengue, mosquitoes carrying the dreaded virus have been exterminated by agencies of the government.  Even private homes and citizens  have actively participated in the killing of mosquitoes in areas where they abound. All this, without due process.

Senator Antonio Trillanes and Representative Gary Alejano are reportedly considering amending their complaint filed in the International Criminal Court accusing Duterte of crimes against humanity.  The duo wants to include EJKs resulting from the Duterte government’s efforts to eradicate Dengue-carrying mosquitoes across the country.

 

 

 

Senate To Subpoena Dengue-Carrying Mosquitoes

80F88D0A-34CB-4C5F-81DA-0C66A2579406MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In what is expected to be the most explosive yet in the series of Senate hearings on the botched Dengue mass vaccination program launched by the Aquino administration, committee chair Senator Richard Gordon revealed a new and perhaps final round of subpoenas.

Gordon told The Adobo Chronicles that his committee has issued a subpoena to thousands of local mosquitoes to shed light on the Dengvaxia controversy. The summons was issued to mosquitoes that have tested seropositive for Dengue.

The new subpoena came following the most recent Senate testimony of former President NoyNoy Aquino in which he said that the Dengvaxia vaccine does not cause Dengue.  Rather, the mosquitoes that carry the virus do.

Aquino’s statement, made under oath, is by far the most significant lead that could finally put the Dengavxia controversy to rest.
