By Maria bRat

MANILA, Phiippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In a recent statement made in Makati City, Vice President Len i Robredo said that relevant government agencies in the Philippines should take the coronavirus very seriously.

She was reacting to alarming news that the deadly virus has spread not only in China but other countries as well.  She was very concerned (nakakabahala) that the virus will reach the Philippines in due time.

Asked by The Adobo Chronicles what specific recommendations she has in mind, Robredo said that Teddy Boy Locsin of the Department of Foreign Affairs should immediately deny Philippine visas to coronaviruses.

”If our government can deny visas to U.S. Senators, there’s no reason why we can’t do the same for coronaviruses,” she said.

She also said she would welcome being appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte as the country’s Health Czar, even if it’s just for two weeks.

That’s your VP — taking the epidemic viruseriously!

Duterte Clarifies Arrest Order Of Vapers

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine President Rordrigo Duterte today clarified his recent order for the arrest of vapers.

The President on Tuesday ordered authorities to arrest those who smoke the electronic cigarettes in public  “to protect public health and public interest.”

The Department of Health confirmed the country’s first vaping-related illness last week.

Duterte however said that he was misquoted by the news media.

Apparently, what he said was that he would order the arrest of VPers — those who publicly support Vice President Leni Robredo in as far as her missteps on the war on drugs are concerned.

Just days ago, Duterte scolded the VP on national TV for her recent statements and actions as Co-chair of the Inter-agency Committee on Anti-illegal Drugs (ICAD), saying he does not trust Robredo.

Now that’s clear.
