CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (The Adobo Chronicles, Cambridge Bureau) – It made a mistake not once, but twice — and now Harvard, one of the most prestigious Ivy League institutions in the U.S. and the world has issued a stark apology.

The apology came after the university was criticized for inviting ex-Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo and entertainer Kim Kardashian as lecturers.

Fox News has described the fiasco as “Harvard’s prestige disappearing into thin air.”

Harvard’s apology was addressed to its students, alumni and the world-wide academic community and asked for a second chance in rectifying its blunder.

“We promise this will never happen again,” a university statement said.

Harvard Students Disappointed At Leni Robredo Lecture Free Meal

1 Comment

CAMBRIDGE, MA, U.S.A. (The Adobo Chronicles, Cambridge Bureau) – About a dozen Harvard students flocked to a scheduled lecture by former Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo, one of the Hauser Leaders currently in residence at the famed university.

It was all because of a promised free meal.

But alas, the students were deeply disappointed when the free meal was served in the middle of Robredo’s lecture on Democracy and Disinformation. It consisted of soup, salad and sandwich.

Some of the students interviewed by The Adobo Chronicles said they had expected to be served with lugaw (rice porridge) that the former VP was famous for back in the Philippines.

One of the students said, “I’ve never had lugaw all my life so I was looking forward to having it for the first time, only to be served with the usual, boring, American fast-food meal.”
