Malacañang To Provide Free Umbrellas To September 21 Rallyists

IMG_4910.PNGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Once again, Rodrigo Duterte is proving that he is the president of ALL Filipinos, the Yellows included.

Duterte not only encouraged Filipinos to protest and burn his effigy on September 21, he also declared a holiday for schools and government offices so that people can either participate in the protests or stay at home and not be bothered by traffic.

Today, Duterte went further by announcing that Malacañang will provide free umbrellas (see photo) to all who plan to participate in the Yellow rally at Luneta Park.

Duterte’s announcement came after PAGASA confirmed that September 21 will be marked by severe thunderstorms in Metro Manila.

What a loving, caring and equal-opportunity president we have!

Age-related Memory Loss: Filipino Scientists Suggest RAM Brain Implant

IMG_4723.PNGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Computers mimic the human brain. And vice versa.

With this in mind, scientists at the University of the Philippines embarked on a study of age-related memory loss, and today they announced a breakthrough that will solve those “senior moments” once and for all.

The scientists believe that memory loss is the result of the human brain reaching its full capacity.  The older one gets, the more information is stored in the brain, and just like with a computer, when its memory becomes full, it starts to slow down.

The solution, they said, is to implant a chip or computer RAM (Random Access Memory) into the brain. This can add gigs of memory to the slowing human brain.

“It’s just like implanting a pace-maker for the human heart,” the scientists said. “We have both the medical and technological capability to do the brain implants.”

Today’s announcement sent the value of computer chips skyrocketing at the Philippine Stock Exchange, especially those of companies engaged in computer trade with China.

The news also eclipsed the unveiling of Apple’s iPhone X.
