MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She was bashed, ridiculed, made fun of — all because she tried to defend her network which was shut down for an expired broadcast franchise.
Kim Chiu’s video on the law in the classroom went viral and became a favorite topic of conversation among quarantined Filipinos.
Responding to her critics, Chiu issued a statement defending her video while at the same time releasing an algorithmic explanation of what she said about ABS-CBN:
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Voting 13 to 2, the Philippine Supreme Court today voted to junk a petition seeking for the release of President Rodrigo Duterte’s health records.
In a majority ruling jointly penned by the 13 justices, the high court said that the President, given previous public admission of health issues he has been having, cannot be compelled to release his otherwise confidential health records.
In making an obvious point to support its ruling, the court said that “in the same way, we cannot, by law, compel Vice President Leni Robredo to publicly release her IQ score, despite many claims on social media that she seems to be lacking in the intelligence category.”
Kudos to the Supreme Court for affirming every Filipino’s right to privacy and confidentiality!
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – GMA News is reporting that swab testing for Covid-19 can now be done online.
The good news came during a GMA News interview witn an official of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DWPH) who said the Philippines would now be able to conduct 31,600 coronavirus tests per day by next week.
It wasn’t clear from the report whether it would be DWPH or DOH that would be conducting the testing.
Regardless, the online testing will be in keeping with the country’s Covid-19 guidelines of social distancing — your nose swabbed from the comfort of your home via computer!
