MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In response to the water cannon incident involving the Chinese and Philippine Coast Guards in the South China Sea, Senate President Migz Zubiri said he would like the Senate to study amending the National Defense Act to exempt the country’s armed forces from some provisions of the procurement law to buy “modern” equipment faster.
For his part, Sen. Bato dela Rosa suggested that the country should also exert an effort to improve the Government Arsenal and strengthen the development of LOCAL WEAPONRY and AMMUNITION, among others.
Dela Rosa did not specify what local weaponry should be provided the military, but The Adobo Chronicles could think of several indigenous weapons, including the sling shot, the Batangas knife, the bow and arrow, spear and shield and the nunchaku.
Dela Rosa’s proposal would certainly boost the country’s local weapons industry!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Leni Robredo fanatics and supportive netizens are standing by their mother figure, using every opportunity to give praise to their “Ina ng Bayan” (Mother of the Nation). This despite her devastating loss to Bongbong Marcos in the last Philippine presidential elections.
These kakampinks (Robredo supporters) have described the ex-Vice President as a “one-time unique phenomenon in the universe” and that there is no one like her.
The world’s top dictionaries for word synonyms wholeheartedly agree with the accolade given to Robredo.
Both word resources list synonyms of “phenomenon,” not the least of which are “anomaly” and “abnormality.”
BEIJING, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – The Philippines’ coast guard and military condemned on Sunday what they called the China Coast Guard’s “dangerous” actions after it fired water cannons at Philippine vessels, the latest of Beijing’s aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea.
But it was all a misunderstanding.
The Chinese Coast Guard said it was merely executing a formal salute as a friendship gesture to the Filipinos.
It is a fact that water cannons are used worldwide as a celebratory display for various occasions, including anniversaries of bridges, the landing of inaugural flights at airports, and other commemorative occasions.
