London, England (The Adobo Chronicles) – Just in time for World AIDS Day, a new social media campaign has been launched in London aimed at ending the stigma for those living with HIV /AIDS.
The campaign, projected to eclipse the phenomenal ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge” last summer, encourages people to reveal a personal secret on social media as a way to encourage those with HIV to come out and not be ashamed of their status.
The campaign has no less than Prince Harry as its celebrity spokesperson, taping a video message that revealed his one long-kept secret and encouraging others to reveal their own secrets.
In his taped message, Prince Harry revealed his secret – that he is not gay.
What is YOUR secret? Post it on social media with the hashtag:
#FeelNoShame.
Palawan, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Yesterday, The Adobo Chronicles reported that the Philippines’ Commission on Audit (COA) has raised some red flags during its audit of the government funds raised from the natural gas extraction project off the coast of Palawan province.
The private service contract provides for a production-sharing scheme in which the government gets 60 percent of earnings from the operation. Part of the government’s share — 900 Million pesos — was allotted for the rehabilitation of farms in 97 towns devastated by powerful storms. Instead, COA alleged that the amount was siphoned off and channeled to questionable non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
(See full story here.)
Well it turns out that even before COA began the audit, the operators of the project already had raised many red flags over the offshore rig (see photo) which led to the fund scam inquiry.
Sometimes, banners do the trick!
