Bongbong Marcos To Duterte: You’re A Double-Crosser

IMG_7671.JPGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday again raised the possibility of Sen. Manny Pacquiao becoming the next president of the Philippines. It happened  after a long speech during the boxing icon’s 38th birthday celebration in General Santos City.

Earlier in his speech, Duterte told Pacquiao to “stay humble” and he will surely be elected as the next president.

Duterte’s comments didn’t sit well with Bongbong Marcos, son of the late Ferdinand E. Marcos.

During the presidential campaign, Duterte had said that  if he is elected president and fails to stop criminality in three months, he will resign and give the presidency to Marcos.

While in Beijing for his state visit earlier this year, Duterte introduced Marcos as the next vice president, should he win his electoral protest against the election of  VP Leni Robredo.

“Duterte is sending mixed messages,” Marcos said. “I thought all along that he was grooming me to become the next president. Is he a double-crosser?”

Meanwhile, Duterte’s statement rattled members of the anti-Marcos “NeverAgain” movement whose goal is to make sure Bongbong does not become president of the Philippines like his late father.  Will they now shift their fight against Pacquiao being president?

Stay tuned!

BERLIN, Germany (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – After announcing to the world that 16 Million Filipinos elected a self-confessed serial killer as president of the Philippines, Senator Leila De Lima walked out of an international conference in Berlin, Germany.

As she has done several times in the Philippine Senate, the lady senator walked out of the conference hall where the Annual Conference on Cultural Diplomacy was being held.

De Lima faces multiple allegations of involvement in the illegal drug trade before the Department of Justice and the Ombudsman, along with disbarment and obstruction of justice.

For her part, she has accused Duterte for being the top protector of drug lords and of plotting to declare Martial Law in her country.

When contacted by The Adobo Chronicles, De Lima confirmed that she did walk out of the conference hall immediately after her speech to go to the ladies room.
