Philippine College Encourages Same-Sex Relationships Among Its Students

image.jpegCAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For a predominantly conservative Catholic country like the Philippines, same-sex relationships are frowned upon, if not ridiculed.  But not for this college in this Philippine southern city.

The Golden Heritage Polytechnic College has a adopted a policy prohibiting its students from having a romantic relationship with the opposite sex as long as they are attending said school.

School president Tito Dichosa said that the policy, expressed clearly in a billboard in front of the campus, as well as on teachers’ uniforms, is aimed at preventing teenage pregnancies.

Dichosa said his only wish is for his students to finish college, adding that he gets frustrated whenever a student gets pregnant and stops studying.

Only same-sex relationships — those that do not result in pregnancies — are allowed by the school. Encouraged, perhaps?

Defeated Senatorial Candidate Alma Moreno’s Proposal For Next Philippine Elections

Moreno

PARAÑAQUE CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She ran for senator under the party of Vice President Jejomar Binay in last Monday’s Philippine elections, but lost.

 Her name is Alma Moreno, city councilor for one of the cities of Metro Manila.  She was a former film actress. Her sexy dancing during the campaign rallies didn’t quite do it for her.

imageIn conceding her defeat, Moreno had a unique suggestion to the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to make the electoral process more fair, efficient and inexpensive.  She said the winning candidates should just be picked through a raffle drawing.

On her Twitter page, she said: “@COMELEC, sana sa next election bunutan na lang”

In the meantime, The Adobo Chronicles can confirm that Moreno is not currently pregnant as reported in social media. The rumor came about after Moreno posted her concession message on her Twitter account. (As of presstime, her Twitter account seems to have been suspended.)

McDonald’s Now Runs A University In The Philippines

imageBAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – McDonald’s, the American fast food giant, has finally thrown in the towel, realizing that in the Philippines, it just cannot compete with its local counterpart, Jollibee.

But the resilient McDonald’s is not giving up altogether.  It has started to shift its business operations from hamburgers to education.

Ronald McDonald has announced that it is taking over the ownership and management of the University of Baguio in the Philippines.

It is a move that is considered a ‘win-win’ situation because McDonald’s will not only profit from operating a university. Its student cafeteria will still offer the regular McDonald’s menu. What’s more, its revenue from operating the university will be tax-exempt.

If the pilot project in Baguio City is successful, McDonald’s plans to buy other universities throughout the Philippines.

What’s next? Perhaps a Bachelor’s Degree in Fastfood Business Administration?
