ACT-Teachers Wants School Year To Coincide With Philippine Dry Season.

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There is a lot of debate over when the school year in the Philippines should start and end. One of the major concerns is how to spare students and teachers from the wrath of the country’s typhoon season.

Well, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT-Teachers) has the ultimate solution!

The progressive and militant national democratic mass organization of teachers, academics and other education workers is proposing to make the school year coincide with the dry season in the Philippines.

The dry season is from December to May while the rainy season is from June to November.

ACT is also proposing to re-schedule all national holidays from December to May so as not to interrupt any school classes. That could mean changing the Christmas season from September 1 to November 30.

We tried to reach out to singer Jose Mari Chan for comment but he is still in hiding. At least until September 1st.

President Bongbong Marcos Not Ready For Health Undersecretary Vergeire

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Bongbong Marcos has been criticized for his failure to appoint a Health Secretary for almost a year. Critics have said that this should been a priority with the Philippines just coming out of the negative impact of Covid-19 not only on the health of Filipinos but of the economy in general.

Marcos, however, appointed Health Undersecretary Maria Vergeire as Office-in-Charge.

Vergeire had previously said she was not interested nor ready to be the top official of the department.

But early this year, Vergeire said she was now ready to become Health Secretary.

Too bad.

Marcos was not ready for her, as the president has just appointed a new Health Secretary, Dr. Teodoro Herbosa.

Moral of the story: never say never because it may come back to haunt you.

LOS ANGELES, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Los Angeles Bureau) – Anti-Smartmatic Atty. Glenn Chong, talking to Bb. Maharlika, says there was cheating in the 2022 Presidential elections. He didn’t offer any evidence, except to say he knows it in his heart.

If proven, this could mean that Leni Robredo may not have received 15 million votes.

Perhaps just one million?
