Senator Risa Hontiveros Asks Filipinos To Discard All Their Apple Gadgets!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The lone opposition voice in the Philippine Senate says the country should ban all Chinese state-owned companies and subsidiaries operating in the Philippines. That includes the 40 percent Chinese stake in the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines which supplies electric power in the country.

Senator Risa Hontiveros made the suggestion following the water cannon incident in the South China Sea involving the Chinese and Philippine Coast Guards.

But Hontiveros takes her idea up one notch. She wants all Filipinos to discard and give up all their Apple gadgets as a form of public protest over the South China Sea incident.

But why Apple?

Well, more than 95% of iPhones, AirPods, Macs and iPads are made in China.

Makes sense!

Elon Musk To Sue British Scientists Over “Disease X”

LONDON, The United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, London Bureau) – When Elon Musk decided to rebrand Twitter as “X,” he was confident his social media platform would be the only company in the world named as such.

Boy, was he wrong.

British scientists are now developing vaccines against a new pandemic that still doesn’t exist. So they’re calling it “Disease X.” The vaccine development is being done at a government high-security lab complex in Wiltshire.

Musk became furious when he learned of this British development.

“They could have easily named it “Unknown Disease,” Musk told The Adobo Chronicles. “Why on earth would they name it after my company which already exists,” he added.

Musk is threatening to file a class-action suit on behalf of all X account holders against the British scientists.
