Lacierda during his days as Malacañang spokesperson
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ex-President NoyNoy Aquino’s chief spokesperson Edwin Lacierda took to his Twitter account to defend his former boss.
In his tweet, Lacierda said that none of President Rodrigo Duterte’s “impromptu speeches” are memorable unlike NoyNoy.
The Adobo Chronicles dug into our archives to look for even just one NoyNoy speech that was memorable.
We found one: when he promised to let himself run over by a train if problems of the MRT were not addressed by a certain deadline.
Unfortunately, that memorable speech remained just that — memorable. NoyNoy never acted on his promise, even to this day.
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has signed the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act which mandates free tuition at 112 state universities and colleges (SCUs) throughout the country.
However, upon the recommendation of the Department of Education, the new law signed by Duterte has dropped the University of the Philippines in Diliman from the free-tuition SCU list.
The decision to start charging tuition at UP Diliman was based on the campus’ increasing involvement in public protests and rallies.
“It is no longer an institution of higher learning, but rather a center for taxpayer-funded political activism,” Education Secretary Leonore Briones.”
The funds saved from this move will be used to provide scholarships to deserving but poor students who may not live in cities where there are SCUs, Briones said.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Despite his being a continuing nuisance to Rodrigo Duterte, Chito Gascon of the Philippines’ Commission on Human Rights (CHR) cannot be just fired by the president. Gascon’s appointment and term of office are protected by the Constitution and the only way to give him the pink slip is through impeachment.
Well, impeachment may not be that far away for Gascon, after an independent genealogy research firm found that the CHR Commissioner is a blood relative of a former Nazi, Heinrich Himmler who pretty much oversaw the Holocaust.
The genealogy study concluded that Gascon and Himmler may have been siblings, separated at birth, and the research firm has the photo to prove it. (See photo)
By the way, The Adobo Chronicles can confirm that both pairs of eyeglasses were made in Germany.
