Health secretary duque dropped the ball, and we’re not talking basketball

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Health Secretary Francisco Duque “dropped the ball” by failing to submit a confidentiality agreement that would have secured some 10 million doses of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.

This was disclosed Wednesday by Senator Panfilo Lacson who lamented the Philippines’ missing out on a chance to procure the vaccine.

If this is a case of a key player dropping the ball, shouldn’t the coach, i.e., President Rodrigo Duterte, drop this player from his team?

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – When it comes to residential land development and condominium units, nothing beats Vista Land, the real estate company owned by the family of Senator Cynthia Villar. Vista is an expert in converting farm lands into luxurious dwelling places for those who can afford the price.

Today, Vista Land unveiled its newest prototype for its future condominium units. It features units with indoor balconies. What a concept!

The Adobo Chronicles spoke with the esteemed Senator on this very novel concept. She said, these units are the future as the Philippines and the world enter into the “new normal” following the coronavirus pandemic.

“We all know one of the ways to avoid Covid-19 infection is to practice physical distancing,” Villar said. She added that with this new condo design, neighbors can still go about their gossip chores while maintaining distance — from their respective balconies.

The first of said units will be constructed in the beginning of 2021.

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For the third time in four years, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is appointing Vice President Leni Robredo to head a Cabinet-level Commission which he created through a new Executive Order.

Robredo had been previously appointed as Housing and Drug Czar but neither of those worked out.

Duterte believes in third chances, so he has again tapped Robredo to head the new Professional Regla Commission that will oversee the rights and privileges of Filipino citizens who have reached the age of menopause (regla).

In issuing the Executive Order, Duterte said it is about time that the government address discrimination faced by menopaused women in employment, education and social services. “Robredo’s passion and experience in the area of menopause are perfect for the position. She fully understands the trials and tribulations experienced by Filipino women in their somethings,” Duterte said.

Congratulations to the Vice President!
