WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – First Lady Melania Trump’s office has announced the completion of The White House Tennis Pavilion, a project she started since 2019.

It wasn’t meant to be open to the public. Rather, it is for the enjoyment of the First Family. But come January 20, Tump will no longer be a member of the First Family.

So will the incoming President Joe Biden have use for the pavilion?

“Useless,” says a source close to the former Vice President. “Biden is an athlete, but is not into tennis. He’s more of a football guy, having been a member of a football team in his high school days.”

So will the incoming First Lady Jill Biden convert the tennis pavilion into an open-air theatre where the First Family and close associates can watch the Super Bowl?

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque is not one who would mince his words when responding to criticism and statements from Rodrigo Duterte’s critics, including the Vice President.

Reacting to a recent statement from Leni Robredo that she would volunteer to be among the first to receive the Covid-19 vaccine once it’s available, Roque said that the VP was a bit too late because Duterte had already volunteered first.

He then proceeded to call Robredo a “pig.”

A “guinea pig,” that is.

WHY AMERICANS ARE PANIC-BUYING FOR TOILET PAPER

December 6, 2020 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – It happened in the spring at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. It’s happening again as more and more states are mandating stay-at-home instructions to deal with increasing cases of Covid-19.

What’s happening? Consumers are seeing empty supermarket and warehouse shelves where toilet paper used to abound. Americans are in a panic-buying mode.

But why toilet paper, one might ask.

Well, unlike in countries like Japan, American homes are not equipped with bidets in their toilets, and Americans have no concept of the dipper or pitcher (tabo) like it is used and practiced in countries like the Philippines. So they are fully dependent on the good old toilet paper to clean up after a dump.

America, the most advanced and industrialized country in the world, apparently needs to keep up with Japanese toilet technology, or perhaps adapt to its former colony the Philippines’ tabo culture.

Especially in a pandemic..
