MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Davao and Naga cities have been placed under MECQ with reservations, in what was described by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Infectious Diseases as a new and more updated community quarantine category.

The new classification, which will be in effect from June 15-30, 2021, was imposed by the IATF after Vice President Leni Robredo criticized Davao City’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and then offered to help its City Mayor, Presidential daughter Sara Duterte-Carpio.

It also came as the Octa Research raised a red flag on Naga City, Robredo’s hometown, due to the rising Covid-19 cases.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque told The Adobo Chronicles that the IATF didn’t have much confidence in the ability of Robredo to deal with both the Davao and Naga cases, and that’s the reason it came up with the new category of MECQ with reservations.

“The IATF members had expressed reservations that that the Vice President would be able to make a dent in the Covid crisis being experience by the two cities,” Roque said.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao City Bureau) – The gloves are off, and we are witness to the first punch Vice President Leni Robredo receives from Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.

Robredo stuck her stinky finger into the internal affairs of Davao by suggesting that Sara’s city can learn a thing or two from the way Cebu City has been handling the Covid-19 pandemic. Never mind that Camarines Sur has been flagged by Octa Research because of the surge of Covid cases in Robredo’s home province.

Sara responded with gusto!

The Adobo Chronicles has scored this salvo 5-0, in favor of Sara,

For one, Sara’s response was written in perfect English, very clear, concise and direct to the point, unlike Robredo’s characteristic repetitive, vague, and oftentimes empty comments and statements.

We can’t wait for the second, third punch!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The National Historical Commission has imposed a heavy fine on 1Sambayan for violation of Republic Act 8491.

RA 8491 lays down the rules on the use of the Philippine national flag and anthem. It recognizes only ONE national anthem, “Lupang Hinirang” composed by Julian Felipe.

Many will recall that during 1Sambayan’s June 12 event in which it announced its short list of candidates for the 2022 Presidential and Vice Presidential contests, it played Ryan Cayabyab’s “O Bayan Ko” in lieu of Felipe’s “Lupang Hinirang.,”

“This is the highest form of disrespect for the country, its flag and its national anthem,” a spokesperson for the NHC told The Adobo Chronicles.

NHC, which is in charge of implementing RA 8491, did not reveal the amount of the fine, but sources say it is in the nine figures.
