Senator Risa Hontiveros Asks Filipinos To Discard All Their Apple Gadgets!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The lone opposition voice in the Philippine Senate says the country should ban all Chinese state-owned companies and subsidiaries operating in the Philippines. That includes the 40 percent Chinese stake in the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines which supplies electric power in the country.

Senator Risa Hontiveros made the suggestion following the water cannon incident in the South China Sea involving the Chinese and Philippine Coast Guards.

But Hontiveros takes her idea up one notch. She wants all Filipinos to discard and give up all their Apple gadgets as a form of public protest over the South China Sea incident.

But why Apple?

Well, more than 95% of iPhones, AirPods, Macs and iPads are made in China.

Makes sense!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Senator Cynthia Villar is proving to be a rabid health advocate, proposing bills left and right that are meant to promote a disease-free lifestyle for all Filipinos.

Villar filed two consecutive bills recently:

The anti-obesity bill that will establish a nationwide anti-obesity campaign that will prevent obesity among Filipinos.

  1. The second is the anti-payatot bill that will institutionalize a nationwide anti-skinny campaign to prevent Filipinos from being too skinny.

Both bills will be funded by profits from the Villar family’s real estate companies, Vista Land and Camella Homes.

Way to go, Madam Senator!
