A Case Of Mistaken Identity Or A Case Of Being ‘Shunga?’

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The self-proclaimed elitist U.P. law graduate Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon who calls her detractors ‘shunga’ (idiots), is getting a dose of her own vaccine.

In a recent Twitter post, she asked her followers where she could procure Covid-19 vaccine doses for her driver and staff knowing pretty well that buying or selling them is illegal under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) status.

One of those who called her out for her tweet was ABS-CBN executive Mark Lopez.

Right away, Guanzon, in a follow up tweet, called the ABS-CBN official ‘elitist rich boy’ and asked him to ‘shut up.’

EXCEPT that the Mark Lopez who criticized her was not the ABS-CBN top executive, but Mark Lopez, the DDS blogger and social media influencer.

In Baguio City, Pets Must Observe Minimum Health Protocols

Leave a comment

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – As part of Baguio City’s no-nonsense efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the City Council has proposed strict health protocols for pets entering establishments like malls, groceries and restaurants.

A proposed new ordinance was passed on first reading by the city council, mandating pets to wear PPEs (Personal Protective Equipment) when brought inside public venues. Diapers will become mandatory under this proposal.

Meanwhile, a city councilor who remains unnamed for now is planning to propose amendments to the ordinance requiring pets to wear face masks and face shields, in addition to being temperature screened. They must also maintain a one meter distance from their owners.

The councilor told The Adobo Chronicles that since most pet owners consider their animals as their children, there is no reason for their pets to be exempted from minimum health protocols.

All for one, one for all.

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Leave it to Health Secretary Francisco Duque to strictly implement the physical distancing rule mandated by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infection Diseases (IATF) as a way to prevent to further spread of Covid-19.

Duque has been making the rounds of public markets, groceries and other venues, complete with his measuring tape, making sure that the one-meter physical distancing rule is followed by all.

Now, with what appears to be a new surge of new Covid-19 cases, especially in Metro Manila and surrounding provinces, the Department of Health has recommended for IATF’s approval a new, additional physical distancing rule.

The new mandate will require all Filipino citizens waiting in line for their takeout orders to keep at least one meter distance between their legs. Fast food restaurants and similar venues are required to set up markers to guide customers so they could properly and accurately spread their legs.

This is a developing story.
