NAGA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – This week marks the commemoration of the dearly departed — sinner or saint. But it is also the time to share stories of a supernatural nature.
But for Leni Robredo, a visit to the grave of her late husband Jessie prompted her to reveal an unusual disorder she has been having since becoming Vice President.
”I’ve been having frequent hallucinations,” Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles, “and they often lead to the most stupid of statements that I make to the news media.”
”When I’m in such a mental state, I feel that I am the president of the country but that Filipinos I meet in the streets look like zombies out to get me. It’s only when I open my mouth to say something stupid that the freaky creatures go away,” she added.
MANILA, Philippines (The Addobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Remember when the Philippine national daily, Inquirer, published a photo showing a “horse-driven” cart — the horse looking a lot like a carabao?
Well, the carabao seems to be mutating in many ways.
Today, the Bureau of Fisheries announced the discovery of a rare fish species never before seen anywhere in the world.
The fish looks like a normal fish except for its head which resembles the head of a carabao. Forget about “beast of burden.” Is this the “fish of burden?”
Could what’s happening in the Philippines the effect of global warming?
