But don’t panic, supporters.  It’s not what you think.

Rather, she is taking her online blog out into the real world.

Like most wanna-be journalists and socmed warriors, Laurio wants to penetrate all media — from book publishing to broadcasting. Now, she wants to be a seminarian. She has just conducted her first seminar on responsible blogging and countering fake news.

And she is just the perfect seminar speaker because she can talk from personal experience on how to be an irresponsible blogger and a purveyor of fake news.

And that is priceless!

At 89 Years Old, Ex-President Fidel Ramos Makes A Fashion Statement

EC6B9C8C-2F57-4479-8C8A-09CF53ACA110MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Considered one of the major figures in the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution that toppled the regime of Ferdinand E. Marcos, ex-President Fidel Ramos, 89,  has found a new calling: a fashion trendsetter.

During the commemoration of 32nd anniversary of EDSA 1, Ramos showed up in an avant-garde get up: a white undershirt on top of his purple t-shirt.

Most, if not all people wear undershirts — well, under their dress shirts or t-shirts.  It is quite common especially in tropical countries as a way to keep perspiration in check and not ruin the dress shirt.

Expect Filipino millennials to follow Ramos’ lead and start wearing undershirts on the outside instead of inside.

1A53C14B-9B8C-4EC1-95FD-73F178E1F61AQUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In the U.S., a lock down is implemented when a mass shooter is on campus.  It is a standard procedure aimed at ensuring the safety of students, teachers and staff.

Yesterday, there was a lock down at the University of the Philippines, Diliman campus.  As students walked out of their classes, the doors and gates of the university were put on a lock down.

Today, The Adobo Chronicles learned that the lock down is permanent.  U.P. Diliman will be closed permanently.

It was welcome news for millions of Filipino taxpayers who have always complained that the taxes imposed on their hard-earned income are not being put to good use.

Imagine the savings on the government’s coffers!
