Philippine Court Orders Transfer Of Janet Napoles To Taguig Jail, Will Room With Senator De Lima

IMG_1375MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The days of “solitary confinement” for jailed Senator Leila De Lima will soon be over.  She has been assigned a new roommate by the Court.

The Sandigangbayan First Division has ordered the detention of alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles at Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City pending her plunder trial in the case of former Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr.

The Court said there was no sufficient proof regarding Napoles’s claim that she would be safer at the National Bureau of Investigation custodial center amid supposed threats to her life.  It therefore ordered Napoles transferred from her present detention cell at the Correctional Institution for Women in Madaluyong City to Camp Bagong Diwa where De Lima is now jailed.

It may take some time for the two women to warm up to each other since both are known to be strong-willed and stubborn.  But the Court believes that eventually, their frailties as women will eventually endear them to each other.

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Hold the presses on impeachment!  Vice President Leni Robredo has just announced that she is stepping down in order to spend more quantity time with her daughters.

The shocking announcement came just hours after Robredo concluded the first episode of her new weekly radio 📻  program which aired Sunday, Mother’s Day.

During the radio show, Robredo had this advice to Filipino working mothers:

‘Nothing will ever take the place of the time you spend with your children. Some working mothers I know would say that giving their children quality time is okay. But I tell them, no. Quality time is not okay. It should be quantity time, which means parents should spend all the time they could with their children.”

Many working mothers, grandmothers and single parents took to social media to denounce Robredo’s statement and were planning to organize a “Million Mom March Vs. Robredo” at the Luneta sometime next week.

To prove that she was sincere in her advice to mothers, and to avert any civil unrest as a result of her comments, Robredo said she has decided to immediately step down from her position.

The 1987 Philippine Constitution gives the incumbent President the power to choose who will replace the Vice President.  Who will it be ?

IMG_4215MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – WannaCry virus is a ransomware program targeting Microsoft Windows that has recently infected over 230,000 computers in 99 countries, demanding ransom payments in bitcoin in 28 languages.

If you live in the Philippines, here’s how you can protect your computers from the data-damaging virus:

  • Do not open emails from Leni Robredo, Jim Paredes, Cynthia Patag, Raissa Robles, Maria Ressa, Atty. Jesus Falcis or Agot Isidro.
  • Refrain from getting your online news from ABS-CBN, Inquirer or Rappler, TIME, or New York Times.
  • Be cautious when clicking on links from Winnie Monsod , Chito Gascon or Georgina Hernandez.
  • If you see phrases on your emails or social media accounts such as ‘UN Rapporteur,’ ‘frailties of a woman,’ or ‘na ano lang,’ delete them right away. They contain the dreaded virus.
  • Be very afraid when a yellow flip flop icon appears on your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts. Your computer has been compromised. See an IT immediately.
  • Always stick to Adobo Chronicles, PCOO, Manila Times except the column of Kit Tatad, and the pro-Duterte Trollerati for up-to-date, unbiased and accurate news and information.

Spead this warning widely to your friends, family and networks. You’re welcome!
