Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – At around noon on January 20, 2021, Joe Biden will take his oath as President of the United States, making Donald Trump the Ex-President.

At about the same time, Philippine Senator Leila de Lima will be released after almost four years in prison.

De Lima’s release is based on technicality. Her lawyers claim that the Senator is in jail only because of TRUMPed up charges relative to illegal drugs.

”With Trump gone, there is no longer any reason to keep De Lima in jail,” her lawyers said.

Now that calls for a high five!

IATF TO MANDATE 6 FEET DISTANCE BETWEEN VEHICLES ON THE ROAD

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines’ Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) has tried everything to mitigate the continued spread of the coronavirus — from mandating face masks and face shields, to limiting transport and indoor capacities, to banning Christmas caroling and karaoke singing. Not to mention the motorcycle barriers. What else is left to regulate?

Leave it to the retired generals, technocrats and politicians in the IATF to think of the next move.

Today, IATF has issued a new order that imposes a minimum of six feet (2 meters) distance between motor vehicles plying the country’s roads and highways, with violators caught on CCTV facing fines, jail time or both.

Spokesperson Harry Roque told The Adobo Chronicles that the IATF believes keeping the said distance between vehicles will significantly reduce the chances of the virus being spread from person to person.

The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) praised the IATF move, saying that it will also solve the traffic problem that it has never solved for many decades. “We will never see EDSA and other roadways bumper to bumper again,” said MMDA Spokesperson Celine Pialago.
