LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Legazpi Bureau) – After almost a week of monitoring the situation regarding the Mayon Volcano eruption, ex-Vice President Leni Robredo has ordered her Angat Buhay Foundation to distribute free lato-lato toys at all evacuation centers in Albay province.

Lato-lato is a toy that consists of two plastic balls suspended on a string that, when swung, slams against each other to create that distinct clacking sound. It has recently trended in the Philippines.

Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles that her volunteer foundation has determined that all relief and rescue operations managed and administered by the Marcos administration are excellently in place and that there is no need for Angat Buhay to mess them up.

Instead, Angat Buhay will distributed lato-lato to all evacuees — for free! The foundation said the toy will provide entertainment and prevent boredom to evacuees while waiting to get back to their residences.

The latos are colored pink and will have the photos of Robredo on them.

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Rappler is reporting that United Nations experts want Philippine President Bongbong Marcos to declare Martial Law.

After the denial of bail for incarcerated former Senator Leila de Lima, the experts now want Marcos to free her and to investigate how she ended up in jail in the first place.

The only way Marcos could do that is to declare Martial Law which would suspend all Constitutional processes.

Under the Philippine Constitution, there is separation among the three branches of government — Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The President cannot dictate on the Judiciary which is what the U.N. experts want him to do.

De Lima’s case is now under the Judicial Branch.
