MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau)- It’s the month of February, that time of year when daily wage earners lose two full days of pay in a non-leap year.
But no worries, Senator Risa Hontiveros has filed a bill that would grant double pay for daily wage earners in the days missing in the February calendar.
Under her proposal, Hontiveros wants daily wage earners to be paid double during the last two days in February (February 27 and 28) during non-leap years and one day (February 29) during leap years.
The opposition senator told The Adobo Chronicles that if passed into law, her proposal will bring the much-needed equity between monthly and daily wage earners.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Manila Bulletin is reporting that the House of Representatives will prohibit the wearing ofr clothes during President Ferdinand ”Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s first State of the National Address (SONA).
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Hollywood actor George Clooney, husband of that infamous international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, was not tapped to direct Philippine President Bongbong Marcos’ first State of the Nation Address (SONA).
Instead, Paul Soriano was appointed to be the director of the signature event which will be held on Monday, July 25.
Soriano, who is the nephew of Marcos’ wife Liza Araneta-Marcos, confirmed his role in the upcoming event.
Press Secretary Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles told The Adobo Chronicles that Clooney’s non-selection had nothing to do with recent comments by his wife criticizing the Philippine government for the cyber libel conviction of her ”client” Maria Ressa.
