Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque is bent on pursuing his first love: singing.

It is no secret that the former Congressman has a deep passion for belting out OPMs — Original Pilipino Music, as evidenced when he was caught on video singing karaoke, sans face mask, at a Baguio restaurant-bistro.

Now, Roque has officially launched his singing career with the release of an RTVM music video featuring the Spox and others singing a popular Filipino Christmas song. As can be seen on the video, Roque takes singing very seriously, with gusto feeling.

There is a lot of speculation that Roque will soon give up his Malacañang duties to go for the showbiz spotlight. After all, he already has name recognition.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) is not taking any chances. Christmas caroling is banned this year in order to curb the further spread of the coronavirus in the Philippines.

But don’t despair. In an unnumbered Resolution to be issued soon, IATF is allowing Christmas caroling online, via Skype or Zoom.

Groups planning to go caroling this holiday season are encouraged to plan accordingly so as not to disrupt their annual fundraising.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque told The Adobo Chronicles that donations or contributions to online carolers can be made through Visa, MasterCard, ATM cards or other payment schemes like GCash, PayPal, and PayMaya.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines’ Inter-Agency Task Force on Covid-19 (IATF) is leaving no stone unturned in the fight against the spread of the coronavirus.

Today, IATF ordered the confiscation of all Karaoke and videoke machines from all households across the country.

”We all know that karaoke singing is a favorite passtime among Filipinos, more so during this  period of community quarantine,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque told The Adobo Chronicles.

”But we also know that karaoke singing, including the sharing of microphones, is one of the ways in which respiratory droplets are released and which could potentially spread the virus,” Roque added.

The confiscation of karaoke machines will be temporary and the confiscated units will be returned to the rightful owners as soon as the country reaches the period of new normal.

The IATF move came just days after the LRT management advised commuters to refrain from talking on their phones or to each other while onboard the trains.
