Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Following the footsteps of his political idol Richard Nixon, Philippine President NoyNoy Aquino is set to announce his resignation in an address to his nation to be televised in prime time this week. For security reasons, Malacañang, the presidential palace, is not saying what day this week the president is making this unprecedented move.
The beleaguered Aquino administration has been in hot water as a result of a Supreme Court decision declaring as unconstitutional Aquino’s action of using non-discretionary funds under the Disbursement Acceleration Program or DAP for questionable purposes, not the least of which was sending monetary “gifts” to senators who voted for the impeachment of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona.
Sources close to Aquino who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said that the real reason for Aquino’s decision to quit is his declining popularity among fans and supporters of actress Nora Aunor. Aquino snubbed Aunor in the naming of this year’s National Artists.
“The fans and supporters of Ms. Aunor constitute 90 percent of the country’s population,” the sources said, “and the president understands that he can no longer perform his duties with very little support from the Filipinos.
The Adobo Chronicles will bring you the presidential announcement live when it happens.

Impossible. The President will never resign. Filipinos are known to be courageous. Pnoy will fight it out to the last. Resignation means admitting wrong doings. While his popularity rating is declining…he can still do something to reverse the situation. Respect the decision of the Supreme Court. Never attempt to issue contradictory statement against them. Then, let heads roll to those who in one way or another contributed to the lapses of the DAP implementation. I need not mention names. They are headlines on leading newspapers everyday. Better yet, announce something BIG during the SONA.

Nope. That’s too direct. The spoof will boomerang. Tackle first the cabinet revamp and all “these things will be added besides..” hehe. Let’s say Abad will go back to Education, where the teachers will boot him out, the NEDA chief will take DBM and the PMS to replace the NEDA Chief. How’s this for a start? Who knows, Noy may bite the bait to have syllabus for the SONA next 28th or else Eid il Feitr may find all Fil-Muslims back to Mecca.
