PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES ASKED TO MAKE COUNTRY’S RICHEST MAN EVEN RICHER

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – This month, the Philippines’ Civil Service Commission (CSC) celebrates its 115th anniversary by asking the close to 1.5 Million Filipino government employees to give money to the country’s richest man, Henry Sy.

Let us explain.

From September 25 to 27, 2015, government workers can avail themselves of 10% discount at all SM Department Stores nationwide, valid on regular-priced items for a minimum purchase of PHP500. SM Appliance Centers will offer 5% discount nationwide, as well as financing promos for select branches in Metro Manila and nearby Luzon. Shoppers at SM Supermarket and SM Hypermarket will get a free item with a minimum purchase of PHP500.

To be eligible for the said promos, civil servants should present their official government office ID or Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) ID card, including an SM Advantage Card, SM Prestige Card, MOM Card, or BDO Rewards Card, according to CSC Announcement No. 53, s.2015.

The common denominator of the promo? Henry Sy, owner of SM.

What all this mean is that government employees must spend, spend, spend, even if they weren’t planning to, and spend their hard-earned money at SM, so that Sy can build more shopping malls.

How about just giving all government employees a food basket consisting of a bag of rice, assorted canned goods and other kitchen essentials? Or give them a voucher towards free rides on buses or the light railway (MRT).

What happened to ‘Matuwid na daan?’ (straight path). Or ‘Matuwid na pag-iisip.” (common sense thinking).

CALIFORNIA WELL ON ITS WAY TO BECOMING AN INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC

September 4, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

SACRAMENTO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Forget about the proposed ballot initiative creating four Californias. How about making the Golden State an independent republic?

It’s just a matter of time before the world’s eighth largest economy will become a country separate from the rest of the United States.

Already, there is a growing consensus especially among the Republicans that a great wall be built between California’s southern border with Mexico.

Now, a grassroots movement is fast gaining momentum to build a similar border between California and Oregon, which would mean the only thing left to do is to build an eastern border between California and its neighboring states, Nevada and Arizona.

The Oregon grassroots movement is fast taking shape in the real estate business. Oregonians blame Californians for the sharp rise in home prices in their state.

‘For Sale’ signs posted in front of houses for sale in Oregon now include a mandatory ‘No California’ warning, meaning that purchase offers from Californians will not be entertained by home owners and real estate brokers.

In recent years, there has also been a significant increase in the number of Californians moving to Oregon. ‘Californians are taking over our state,’ one long-time resident of Oregon told The Adobo Chronicles®.

Oregon’s state assembly is in the process of drafting a new law that would authorize the building of a border wall with California to prevent further migration from south of the Oregon border.

DONALD TRUMP WANTS BILINGUALS, TRILINGUALS AND MULTILINGUALS DEPORTED FROM U.S.

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Give Donald Trump your finger and he’ll go after your entire arm.

Encouraged by his continued surge in the polls as a result of his anti-immigrant rants, the leading Republican presidential candidate has gone from attacking Mexicans, Chinese and citizens of U.S. territories to proposing an English-only America.

Trump has said that if foreign nationals want to live in America as legal residents or citizens, they should be speaking only in English. He made the comment after criticizing fellow presidential candidate Jeb Bush for speaking Spanish on the campaign trail. “Bush should set the example by speaking English only while in America,” he told reporters.

Today, Trump declared that if elected president, he would ask the Department of Homeland Security to deport all immigrants who are openly and publicly biligual, trilingual or multilingual. “If they speak a second, third or fourth language other than English, well and good, but when in America, they should only speak our official language which is English, ” he said.

Si Donald Trump es elegido presidente , Adobo Chronicles no publicará nada en tagalog o español.
