HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles, Honolulu Bureau) – PR 101, Philippine Air Lines’ regularly-scheduled flight from Honolulu to Manila left on time, but the otherwise uneventful flight shocked many passengers, mostly Filipino Balikbayan going home for the holidays.
The plane left Honolulu International Airpoirt at 11:31 am on December 31, 2017. It arrived in Manila at 3:48 p.m. Alas, it was already 2018 when it arrived.
That’s a year late!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – On Human Rights Day last month, thousands of youth across the country led by Anakbayan joined protest actions slamming President Rodrigo Duterte as the “number 1 terrorist” and leading human rights violator in the country for his triple war against the Filipino people.
Dubbed by Anakbayan as #DuterTerorista, the President was condemned for his “war on drugs”, the “all-out war” on the revolutionary CPP-NPA-NDF, and anti-terror war against the Bangsamoro people that left Marawi City in ruins.
Today, the leading advocate for the human rights of terrorists — Senator Risa Hontiveros — came to the rescue of the President.
“I have always defended the human rights of terrorists, including the Communist Party of the Philippines and the Maute group that attacked Marawi,” Hontiveros said. “So if Anakbayan is labeling Duterte as a terrorist, then I have no choice but to come to his defense and fight for his human rights.”
Hontiveros’ bill is scheduled for first reading in the Senate next week.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines has a Magna Carta for Women, but none for ugly spouses. But that could change very soon, thanks to House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez.
Alvarez, who according to reports, has ‘abandoned’ his wife and justified it on religious grounds, is not backing down on his priority legislation that would introduce civil unions in the Philippines.
Now, the Speaker says his proposed bill would also benefit “ugly and rich” people who remain married only because of their money.
“Ngayon kasi kapag absolute community of property…karamihan ngayon, kung hindi babae or lalaki, kahit na medyo pangit, kapag maraming pera pakakasalan mo,” he said during an interview with Karen Davila.
Alvarez said that an amendment to the Family Code would make complete separation of property the default, instead of the absolute community of property, in the absence of a marriage settlement.
So if you’re rich but ugly, you’ve got a friend in the Speaker of the House.
Isulong ang Magna Carta for ugly people!
