MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – All 17 Metro Manila mayors have preempted President Rodrigo Duterte’s upcoming announcement on the community quarantine status of the NCR+ (National Capital Region and the provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Rizal and Laguna) effective May 1. NCR+ has been under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine or MECQ for the period ending April 30.
In a consensus decision, the mayors said they will put their respective jurisdictions under MCEQ Flakes which includes shortening the curfew hours to 10pm to 4am.
Residents of Metro Manila and nearby provinces praised the mayors’ decision, saying it truly reflects their being total flakes.
The Cambridge Dictionary defines “flake” as ‘a person you cannot trust to remember things or to do what they promise, or someone who behaves in a strange way.’
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Rodrigo Duterte today issued an Executive Order adding one more non-working national holiday.
Malacañang announced that April 23 each year will be observed to mark Community Pantry Day and National Lugaw Day. The date is the birthday of actress Angel Locsin and Vice President Leni Robredo.
The EO cited Locsin’s heroic (read: Darna) effort to (dis)organize a community pantry to celebrate her natal day, and Robredo’s (and her supporters) to mark the day to pay tribute to Leni’s personal and political trademark, lugaw (rice porridge).
In her weekly radio program, Robredo thanked Duterte and her supporters for this singular honor.
MANILA, Philippines (The AdoboChronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines’ Department of Health (DOH) has set very strict criteria for the vaccination of Filipinos against Covid-19.
Before citizens are approved for inoculation, they have to go through a rigid screening process to make sure that those with certain health conditions are not inadvertently vaccinated.
Among the questions asked of potential vaccinees is whether or not they have a history of allergies. There have been cases of severe allergic reaction to different vaccines so far approved for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).
Today, DOH issued a strong statement clarifying that those allergic to DDS (Duterte Diehard Supporters) or the Dilawan (political opposition) can be cleared for inoculation. The statement was issued after vaccination screeners reported many people indicating they were allergic to either DDS or Dilawan.
So DDS or Dilawan, you’re all clear for vaccination!
