MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Superstar Nora Aunor is back on top of the music charts, thanks to Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Guillermo Eleazar.

More specifically, Aunor’s recording of “Tiny Bubbles” shot up to No. 1 in just the last couple of days. It came after Eleazar announced that Metro Manila will be placed in tiny bubbles as part of the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) imposed beginning August 6.

“Tiny Bubbles” also became the most searched phrase on Google.

For those unfamiliar with the Hawaii-inspired song, here is Aunor’s recording:

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A Grab driver was cited for ECQ curfew violation early this morning for delivering sinigang in Purok Sinampalukan, Barangay Kinabukasan.

An unidentified kagawad told the driver: “Essential ba si sinigang? Hindi. Ang tao, mabubuhay kahit walang sinigang.” (Is sinigang essential? No, people can survive without sinigang.)

The incident happened just days after an international cuisine website declared that sinigang is the best vegetable soup in the world.

IATF MULLS HOME QUARANTINE FOR FILIPINOS BELOW 60 YEARS OLD

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For the last year-and-a-half, Filipino senior citizens, 60 and above, have suffered the brunt of the Philippine government’s Covid-19 community quarantines by prohibiting them from leaving their homes except for securing essential goods and services.

Now, the seniors are being vindicated..

Now, the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) is seriously considering letting seniors out while home-quarantining Filipinos below 60 years old.

The IATF proposal, according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, is based on emerging data that the new, more transmissible Delta variant is making younger adults sicker and quicker.

Roque said, “We need to protect the health and safety of our senior citizens by allowing them to go outside while locking down the younger members of their households.”

”Besides, we don’t want the younger adults to be roaming around spreading the new variant,” Roque added.

At last, our seniors can enjoy their freedom of movement, denied them for so long because of the pandemic.

All’s well that ends well!
