MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A lawmaker has proposed a measure mandating that new Filipino doctors and nurses be quarantined in the country for a year before they could seek jobs abroad.
Malasakit and Bayahanihan party-list Rep. Anthony Rolando Golez Jr. said House Bill No. 6232, also known as Mandatory Medical Service Bill, aims to address the shortage of healthcare workers in the Philippines.
Instead of creating incentives for the medical professionals, Golez wants to punish them for years of expensive education and training, and for seeking a better future for themselves and their families.
Is this a case of “if you can’t stop them, detain them?”
Is this also yet another argument for the abolition of the party-list system in Philippine Congress?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Journalists covering Bongbong Marcos are required to take antigen tests to ensure that the President is not exposed to the coronavirus. Wearing face masks is also a must.
Now, a new palace directive also requires cubicle journalists — those who cover Presidential events from the comfort of their air-conditioned offices — to wear face masks. The likes of Maria Ressa, Raissa Robles, among others. Vloggers like Bb. Maharlika are also covered by the directive.
Press Secretary Cheloy Garafil told The Adobo Chronicles that the new requirement will help reduce fake news, gossip and foul language coming out of the journalists’ and vloggers’ mouths.
BAGUIO CITY, Philippines(The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio City Bureau) – The viral Nurse Peyt who suggested on her now-deleted social media account that Imelda Marcos’ nurse alter the former Philippine First Lady’s life support and medical procedures, is not that evil after all.
In a complete turnaround, Faith (her real name) showed utmost compassion for ex-Vice President Leni Robredo. In a tweet, Peyt advised Robredo to make sure she takes her (psychiatric) medication after seeing the latter’s photos and video in Japan, posing as a Samurai warrior (warriess)?
Here is a screenshot of Peyt’s message to Robredo:
