BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – What used to be a P160 cost for a soft broom (walis tambo) is now P800 at the Baguio City Public Market.
The sudden, 500% price increase for this popular souvenir and essential household cleaning item in the summer capital of the Philippines was brought about by yesterday’s siege on the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump protesters.
In one of the photos that went viral, a protester is seen holding up what seemed to be a broom that may have originated in Baguio. The photo greatly increased the demand for the item not only in the U.S. but even in the Philippines where it is made.
It’s the law of supply and demand that seems to be at work here.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Donald Trump will do everything within his power to maintain a bully pulpit for his outrageous claims about an election stolen from him.
After being temporarily banned from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter because of his false claims and incendiary comments that have let to yesterday’s Capitol siege by supporters, Trump has signed up for an alternative social networking app, Grindr.
Grindr is considered the world’s largest social app for the LGBTQ community. A quick check on the app revealed Trump among the “new faces.”
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo, heeding advice from her attorneys, wants to invoke the 25th Amendment as a way to legally oust Rodrigo Duterte.
Under the 25th Amendment, the Vice President takes over the Presidency when the sitting President is deemed incapable of fulfilling his duties. Robredo believes that Duterte’s physical health and mental incapacity render him incapacitated to continue as chief executive of the land.
Robredo, however, didn’t realize that her attorneys were merely briefing her on a potential situation in the United States where there are calls for Donald Trump to be declared mentally incompetent and that Vice President Mike Pence should assume the Presidency in the remaining two weeks of the administration.
