Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles,Manila Bureau) – There could not have been a perfect day to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) back to Manila International Airport.

On Monday, August 21, President Bongbong Marcos will lead in ceremonies for the unveiling of the new airport face marquee bearing the easy-to-remember, easy-to-pronounce original name of the main international gateway to the Philippines.

August 21 happens to be Ninoy Aquino Day, a non-working holiday in the country.

Malacañang said that the timing is most appropriate as it will give the chance for the Aquino family and their supporters to say their last hurrah!

Soon, international flight attendants will be heard announcing: “Ladies and gentlemen, we have just landed at Manila International Airport…”

Mabuhay!

EDCA: U.S. Will Supply Philippine Coast Guard With High-powered Water Guns!

Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – The United States has assured that it will defend the Philippines against any armed foreign attack as part of the two countries’ Enhanced Defense Cooperative Agreement (EDCA).

The American assurance came in the wake of the recent water cannon attack by the Chinese Coast Guard on a Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) resupply boat.

But an attack is only considered an act of war if firepower is used. Water does not qualify.

So, in the meantime, the U.S. is supplying the PCG with high-powered water guns to counter any non-firepower attacks by China. Yes, including water cannons.

Newly-appointed Special Presidential Envoy to China on Special Concerns Teddy Boy Locsin, Jr. praised the American donation of water guns, saying Uncle Sam is a true friend and ally of the Philippines.
