Senator Hontiveros Files Bill To Ban Plastic, Including For Surgery

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Paper or plastic? If Senator Risa Hontiveros had her way, grocery and other shoppers will no longer have a choice. Plastic will forever be banned.

Hontiveros has filed a Senate Bill aimed at reducing the damaging effects of plastic on the environment.

But her bill goes beyond shopping.

Not only will store owners be banned from using plastic bags. Plastic surgeons will have to find alternative materials for their profession and business.

Hontiveros’ bill is very timely as it comes just days after Xander Ford made his big reveal on national television — a total facial makeover courtesy of an infamous plastic surgery clinic.

The Adobo Chronicles tried to reach Ford for comment on the proposed bill, but broadcast personality (and wife of defeated presidential candidate Mar Roxas) Korina Sanchez refused to give us Xander’s cell phone number.

Ford’s big reveal happened on Sanchez’s TV program, “Rated K” on the ABS-CBN Network.

Age-related Memory Loss: Filipino Scientists Suggest RAM Brain Implant

IMG_4723.PNGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Computers mimic the human brain. And vice versa.

With this in mind, scientists at the University of the Philippines embarked on a study of age-related memory loss, and today they announced a breakthrough that will solve those “senior moments” once and for all.

The scientists believe that memory loss is the result of the human brain reaching its full capacity.  The older one gets, the more information is stored in the brain, and just like with a computer, when its memory becomes full, it starts to slow down.

The solution, they said, is to implant a chip or computer RAM (Random Access Memory) into the brain. This can add gigs of memory to the slowing human brain.

“It’s just like implanting a pace-maker for the human heart,” the scientists said. “We have both the medical and technological capability to do the brain implants.”

Today’s announcement sent the value of computer chips skyrocketing at the Philippine Stock Exchange, especially those of companies engaged in computer trade with China.

The news also eclipsed the unveiling of Apple’s iPhone X.
