Anti-Marcos/Duterte Protesters Criticized For Displaying Small Penises

MANILA, Philippines – While Filipinos focused their attention on the anti-Marcos burial rally held Friday at the Luneta Park, another group of protesters did their own thing at the University of the Philippines (U.P.) in Diliman, Quezon City.

Members of the Alpha Phi Omega (APO) fraternity at U.P. ran naked through a student crowd with only their faces covered to protest against the hero’s burial for the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

The Great Oblation Run, also known as “Ritual Dance of the Brave,” is a long-held tradition in the state university that began in 1977. It is held as a way for fraternity members to make known their stand on important national issues.

In addition to protesting the Marcos Burial at Libingan Ng Mga Bayani, they also asked the Duterte administration to stop extrajudicial killings and to end contractual labor.

But instead of rallying the crowd to support their demands, the protestors were criticized for displaying their small penises, as can be seen in a social media post by one very disappointed observer (see photo.)

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – What would Christmas and New Year be like without fireworks? And firecrackers?

The executive order proposing a national firecracker ban may be signed by President Rodrigo Duterte by December 5, Health Sec. Paulyn Jean Rosell-Ubial noted in a media briefing on Tuesday.

“I hope we can have this executive order out by then. But the President, when I presented it to the Cabinet, said he will be supportive of the regulated use of firecrackers,” Ubial said.

When he was mayor of Davao City, Duterte signed an executive order in 2001 and an ordinance in 2002 that banned firecrackers.

Today, however, the Department of Health (DOH) clarified that the ban that the secretary recommended to the president had nothing to do with fireworks. He had proposed banning a spicy shrimp dish that could cause health problems especially for those who are intolerant of hot and spicy food. It’s also called “firecrackers.”

Also part of the proposed ban is another hot and spicy dish called “dynamite lumpia.”

Now you know.

By the way, here’s the recipe for firecracker shrimp. And here’s the recipe for dynamite lumpia.

Philippine Congress Concludes Hearing On De Lima and Dayan’s Love-Hate Relationship

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A committee of the Philippines’ House of Representatives today concluded its investigative hearing on the love-hate relationship between Senator Leila De Lima and his driver-bodyguard Ronnie Dayan.

Dayan was the star witness at today’s hearing by the House Committee on Justice, a day after he was arrested for contempt of Congress. He earlier failed to appear before the House in its investigation of the alleged illegal drug trade proliferation inside the New Bilibid Prison. De Lima has been accused of receiving money from drug lords to support her senatorial campaign while Dayan was named by witnesses as her bagman.

Brilliant members of Congress who boasted of their law and investigative expertise asked Dayan many pointed and leading questions in an effort to establish the intensity of the love relationship between De Lima and Dayan.

The questions by the committee members succeeded in establishing an indisputable fact that the romantic relationship between the senator and her driver at one point reached Intensity 5 — an achievement that Filipino taxpayers can be proud of in as far as their elected representatives are concerned.
