MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced that it will penalize motorcycle riders who seek shelter in underpasses during heavy rain, saying such practice could cause accidents and traffic congestion.
In issuing the implementing rules and regulations for the new directive, the brilliant technocrats at MMDA proposed a mandatory policy requiring motorcycle owners to install canopies on their vehicles. It’s the same technocrats that proposed motorcycle barriers during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The new policy will cost motorcycle owners up to one thousand pesos to obtain the canopies from Shopee or Lazada.
ORANGE COUNTY, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Orange Country Bureau) – International Travelers may be familiar with Where Magazine, copies of which are usually provided in hotel rooms in various destinations — from Chicago to Milan. It gives visitors and locals a portal for essential, immediate and accurate information on the best things to do including shopping, dining, entertainment, attractions and the arts.
Well, at least two editions of the magazine have decided to re-brand and change their name to “Whore Magazine.” These are the Milan and Orange County editions.
The newly-named magazines hope to increase their readership by re-branding.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Singapore has replaced Japan for having the world’s most powerful passport, allowing visa-free entry to 192 global destinations, according to the latest Henley Passport Index.
The Philippine passport now ranks No. 74, with 66 visa-free destinations. (Surprisingly, the country’s most “revered ally,” the United States, is not among the visa-free destinations.)
Still that is a long ways until the Philippine passport achieves platinum or gold status. Hence, it is still considered among the world’s most power-hungry passports.
Other world rankings show the Philippines anywhere from 66th to 126 the place.
