‘Investigative journalist’-turned advice nurse Robles

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She likes to be called an “investigative journalist,” although one might argue that her political blog seems to be confined to “investigating” people whom she does not agree with, like President Duterte, as well as issues contrary to her jaundiced political views.

Today, Raissa Robles announced that she was quitting investigative journalism to pursue a dream career — that of an advice nurse.

With this shift in her career, Robles hopes that she will gain more likes for her social media account.  She is aiming to surpass the reader engagements of political blogger Mocha Uson.

In her first post as an advice nurse, Robles tackles the issue of Fentanyl, a prescription drug that is used by patients suffering from severe pain as a result of certain medical conditions.

It is an impressive first piece by Robles where she cuts and pastes medical and scientific information culled from sources like Wikipedia. In her post, she includes her own personal expert analysis of the drug in question.

Her first subject in her advice column? President Duterte, of course!

She makes the case for Duterte as someone addicted to drugs, presumably Fentanyl.

Our best wishes to Ms. Robles on her new-found career!

One Million March Planned To Protest Miss Universe Pageant In Manila

IMG_7602.PNGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Sometime in October, a group of 260 Filipinos and Filipino Americans signed a letter addressed to the Miss Universe Organization asking that the 2016 pageant be pulled from the Philippines.  The petitioners included familiar names like Filipino American millionaire Loida Nicolas-Lewis, retired entertainer Leah Navarro, and former beauty queens Aurora Pijuan and Gemma Cruz-Araneta.

The petitioners argued that the newly-elected leaders of the country, led by no less that President Rodrigo Duterte and his cohorts have demonstrated “objectionable, scandalous, and demeaning sexist attitude towards womankind.”

We all know of course that the letter-petition was a total failure.  The 65th edition of the pageant will, indeed, be held in the Philippines and some contestants have already arrived in the country.

But the petitioners are not conceding defeat.  They are planning a one million people power march on January 30 to protest the staging of the pageant in the Philippines.  It will be held at Luneta Park, not far from the venue of the pageant finals at the Mall of Asia.

When asked by The Adobo Chronicles how many people have signed up so far to join the one million march, a spokesperson for the group said: “260.”

BREAKING: Ruth Ginsburg Quits U.S. Supreme Court, Moves To New Zealand

IMG_7587.JPGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – It was just a matter of time. Ruth Bader Ginsburg has stepped down from the U.S. Supreme Court, leaving two vacancies that incoming President Donald Trump will be filling.

In July, Ginsburg told the New York Times that if Trump is elected president, she would abandon the U.S. for New Zealand.

She is a woman of her word.

Now, it remains to be seen whether the celebrities who promised to move out of the country if Trump is elected — among them Jennifer Lawrence, Barbara Streisand, Jon Stewart, Samuel Jackson, Cher , and many more — will fulfill their promise.
