MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler is reporting that beginning in October, GCash will start charging a fee to cash in with several banks.
But true to its reporting bias, Rappler is calling it a “convenience fee” when the fact of the matter is that it is an inconvenience for GCash and bank account holders.
Nevertheless, if you want cash from GCash, you have to pay cash for each transaction. That’s P5 of your hard-earned money!
SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – X (formerly Twitter) is dead serious about its community guidelines, including that which involves nudity.
X has cancelled Filipino actor and director Vince Tañada’s (“Katips,” “Ako Si Ninoy”) account for posting a self photo with no clothes on.
X’s guidelines are clear about banning nudity and sexual behaviour.
The Adobo Chronicles reached out to Elon Musk in San Francisco and asked for his comment on this development.
“It is not so much about the guy posting his nude photo. It is more about netizens being offended by his gory display of body tattoos,” Musk said.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno today said that free college education is unsustainable.
This sent chills to students of state colleges, including those from University of the Philippines, who enjoy state-sponsored education while actively engaging in walkouts, rallies and protests against the very government that pays for their tuition.
Filipino taxpayers have long frowned at funding these Iskolar ng Bayan (state scholars), saying that paying for diploma and latin honor mills is not the best use of the people’s taxes.
Will Iskolar ng Bayan soon to be a thing of the past?
