MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – When it comes to the Legislature, there’s the majority and there’s the minority.
The majority is usually made up of members of the ruling party or a coalition of different party members.
The minority is sometimes made up of fakes. That is if we were to believe in Represenatative Gary Alejano — that same Alejano who, together with Senator Antonio Trillanes, filed a complaint against President Rodrigo Duterte for alleged crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Alejano called his fellow minority Congress members ‘fake.’
Well, not exactly. But he called himself — as described in his Twitter account — the “authentic” minority member of the 17th Congress.
So, following Alejano’s logic, all the other minority members are inauthentic.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Paper or plastic? If Senator Risa Hontiveros had her way, grocery and other shoppers will no longer have a choice. Plastic will forever be banned.
Hontiveros has filed a Senate Bill aimed at reducing the damaging effects of plastic on the environment.
But her bill goes beyond shopping.
Not only will store owners be banned from using plastic bags. Plastic surgeons will have to find alternative materials for their profession and business.
Hontiveros’ bill is very timely as it comes just days after Xander Ford made his big reveal on national television — a total facial makeover courtesy of an infamous plastic surgery clinic.
The Adobo Chronicles tried to reach Ford for comment on the proposed bill, but broadcast personality (and wife of defeated presidential candidate Mar Roxas) Korina Sanchez refused to give us Xander’s cell phone number.
Ford’s big reveal happened on Sanchez’s TV program, “Rated K” on the ABS-CBN Network.
