MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – While his Vice President, Leni Robredo, has announced that she is willing to be vaccinated for Covid-19 in public, Rodrigo Duterte insists he will do it in private.

The Philippine President, as confirmed by his Spokesperson Harry Roque, will not be inoculated on the deltoid muscle of his upper arm as has been the case with practically all world leaders that have received the vaccine so far. Rather, Duterte will receive the injection on the upper, outer mass of his gluetus maximus.

“For obvious reasons, this cannot be done in public,” Roque said.

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio City Bureau) – There are indications that the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) which includes Baguio City, could revert to the stricter General Community Quarantine (GCQ) because of, among other things, the rise in new Covid-19 cases.

Sources close to Mayor Benjie Magalang (also the IATF’s Contact Tracing Czar) told The Adobo Chronicles that the city is considering banning Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, who claims to be from Baguio,, from visiting the city, should GCQ is reimposed.

The sources said that Roque is known for violating quarantine and health protocol regulations including swimming with dolphins, karaoke singing in Baguio, and delivering a speech before a Cebu crowd that didn’t observe physical distancing.

Mayor Magalong is said to be very uncomfortable having Roque come to Baguio because of said violations, and endanger the health and lives of the city’s residents.

Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) Ramon Lopez was answering questions from the Malacañang Press Corps via zoom when viewers noticed the black and white version of the Nazi symbol just to the left of the Secretary.

But it seems it was a matter of camera angle and the manner in which the DTI banner was displayed.

The full, upright version of the banner actually looks like this:
