Philippines’ Vice President Leni Robredo like’s Trump’s idea as a way to permanently protect Filipinos living in and around her country’s most active volcano, Mayon.F580E1A9-A0BB-4ABA-8536-556544F3837E

The almost perfect-cone mountain has gone into active mode again, erupting several times in the last few weeks and posing danger to residents because of its lava flow.

During her visit to the residents affected by the volcanic eruption, Robredo told reporters that she will propose to build a great wall around the volcano to protect, once and for all, the residents from the effects of Mayon’s eruptions.

”It’s time we came up with a permanent solution to this frequent problem,” Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles.

Earlier, the VP also brought up the idea of pouring concrete into the volcano’s crater to permanently seal it and prevent it from future eruptions.

High Demand For ‘Labanderas’ In The U.S., Thanks To Donald Trump

Thanks to Donald Trump’s ‘America First’ policy, steep tarriffs have been imposed on washing machines and solar products.  As a result, middle-income American families who can no longer afford the high cost of washing machines and clothes driers are resorting to hand washing and setting up clotheslines in their homes and apartments.

But this has also increased the demand for labanderas. Americans are now willing to sponsor the work visas of foreign nationals from Mexico and the Philippines and provide them gainful employment as live-in laundry ladies. (Many Americans realize they get extra perks when employing labanderas: their clothes get ironed as well!)

Trump Doesn’t Want Dark-Skinned Pinoys As Immigrants To U.S.

B9D0D9F8-E455-4595-BF3F-2A19702AEDE8WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – The New York Times (NYT) is reporting that President Donald Trump on Wednesday balked at an immigration deal that would include protections for people from Haiti and African countries. He wanted to know at a White House meeting why he should accept immigrants from “shithole countries” rather than people from places like Norway.

What the NYT is not reporting is that Trump mentioned Filipinos in a one-on-one conversation with The Adobo Chronicles after that White House meeting.

AC caught up with Trump on board Air Force One enroute to Las Vegas, Nevada.

We asked him about his thoughts on undocumented Filipinos now in the United Sates.

”I love the Filipinos,” Trump said, “but unfortunately, I can only allow fair-skinned Pinoys to avail of my immigration compromise. We need to start making America look like America.”

This could explain Trump’s earlier White House comment about Norway vs. Haiti and Africa.
