Chito Gascon Thanks Congress For Doubling CHR’s 2018 Budget

IMG_5013MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Commissioner Chito Gascon is a happy camper these days after the Philippine House of Representatives (HOR) doubled the 2018 budget of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR).

It will be recalled that HOR earlier slashed CHR’s budget from P678 Million to P1,000.  It has then increased the approved budget to P2,000.

In speaking with The Adobo Chronicles, Gascon said that the increase in his budget comes at a very significant day when Twitter also announced that it is doubling the 140-character limit for tweets.

“It only shows that human rights and free speech will always prevail if we are vigilant,” Gascon said.

BREAKING: Twitter To Test 280-Character Limit, Starting With Trump

IMG_5396.PNGSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – For years, Twitter account holders have been frustrated about the 140-character limit for tweets.  It’s just not enough to finish a thought or express an opinion.

No one was more frustrated than Donald Trump, who even as president of the United States, relies on Twitter to communicate with the American people — followers and critics alike.

Well, today, the San Francisco-based social media giant announced it would be rolling out a beta version of a 280-word Twitter that doubles the original character limit.

In respect for the Office of the President, Twitter said that Trump will be among the first account holders to avail of the new, improved and doubled tweet.

Heaven bless us!  And God bless America!
