MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipinos are all too familiar with shops selling used clothing and other items. They’re known as Ukay-Ukay or Wagwagan.
But who’d expect to find used condoms at these retail outlets? Well, the police did.
Manila police raided an Ukay-Ukay in Divisoria after receiving a tip that the store was selling used, triple-washed, albeit sanitized, condoms. The items were apparently smuggled into the country from San Francisco, California.
Some 69 boxes were seized and the owner of the shop brought to the police station for questioning.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Who is the copycat? The South African man or the Filipino man?
A South African man was recently arrested for eating KFC fried chicken for a whole year, under the guise of being sent by KFC headquarters to check on the quality of food served by a local franchise store.
Reports have it that a Filipino man has been having free chicken joy at a neighborhood Jollibee restaurant in Quezon City for almost a year now, telling employees that he was a Rappler food critic monitoring quality changes in fast food chains’ daily menu servings.
He was reported to the Philippine National Police today after he suspiciously changed his usual order from chicken joy to burger steak.
Moral of the story. Stick to your usual order when eating at Jollibee.
