Duterte Adds One More Philippine National Holiday

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.

DDS and Dilawan Allergies Not A Deterrent To Covid-19 Vaccination

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, 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!
