Pan de Sal Sales Up, Thanks To Presidental Spokesperson Harry Roque

752B3A8B-A89C-44C2-9AB3-72BDE10E50CD.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Bakeries and grocery stores across the country are reporting a sharp increase in pan de sal sales in just the last 24 hours.

They have Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque and Philippine Star to thank.

Roque was earlier quoted for his threat to throw hollow blocks at those who are critical of the Duterte administration.  But at a press briefing yesterday, he softened his rhetoric, defended mainstream journalists and urged pro-Duterte socmed warriors to go easy on the likes of Rappler’s Pia Ranada.

PhilStar then published an account of the press briefing saying that Roque, instead of throwing hollow blocks, threw pan de sal.

The National Food Authority may have to increase its wheat importation to meet the increased demand for the favorite Filipino breakfast bread.

Leni Robredo Launches Nationwide Healthy Halloween Project

When she is not blabbering about rebuilding Marawi City or criticizing Chinese-funded infrastructure projects like the Bicol Express, Robredo is launching projects aimed at improving the health of Filipino children.

Well, it’s that time of year when kids go trick or treating, making the rounds of their neighborhoods collecting chocolates and candies to fill their Halloween buckets.

Today, the Office of the Vice President (OVP) announced that it was launching Leni’s Halugaween Project.  It encourages adults to dispense of the usual chocolate and candy treats and instead go for packets of lugaw.

”This will ensure that our Filipino kids are well nourished especially during the holiday season,” Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles.

Lugaw, anyone?
