DC11B487-EFD4-40A1-BAE8-74076AFBAF3DMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now that the Congress of the Philippines has approved a one-year extension of Martial Law in Mindanao, Raissa Robles’ book, “Marcos Martial Law: Never Again,” has been rendered moot and academic.

But Robles is not one to easily give up.

Today, she announced that she has quickly written a sequel to her book to make it more relevant to recent developments.

The title of the new book is “Marcos Martial Law: Forever and Ever.”

National Bookstore has refused to carry the new book because the old book didn’t sell very well.

BREAKING: Senator Trillanes To Sue Blogger Raissa Robles For Saying He Has No Balls

467847EA-6077-4D4E-88CC-2C271861E57F.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In her latest tweet, anti-Duterte blogger Raissa Robles accused Antonio Trillanes of having ‘no balls’ and the Senator is suing.

Robles questioned the absence of several Senators, including Trillanes, during a joint session of Congress where legislators voted to approve Martial Law extension in Mindanao. Only four opposition senators voted against the extension, and Trillanes wasn’t one of them because he had been missing in action.

”For Robles to say that I have no balls is libelous and is very damaging to my reputation,” Trillanes told The Adobo Chronicles. 

The good Senator said he is willing to drop his pants in court to prove — beyond reasonable doubt — that Robles’ accusation is not only false but malicious.

Duterte Appoints Thinking Pinoy As New Executive Secretary

A3352B1E-4930-4054-92F9-74F6815E409AMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – ‘Tis the season for firing and hiring at Malacañang Palace.

After firing staff of the Presidential Commission on Urban Poor (PCUP), President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed R.J. Nieto, a.k.a. Thinking Pinoy (TP) as his new Executive Secretary.  The President appears to be more all ears (see photo) to TP than to paid officials and staff at the palace.

For starters, T.P. just wrote and submitted a memo to the President  updating him on the hot-button issue of Dengvaxia, the Dengue vaccine manufactured and distributed by the French Senofi Pharmaceuticals.

Dengvaxia was administered to more than 800,000 school kids under the free Dengue vaccination program launched by the PNoy administration.

Senofi has acknowledged that the vaccine could cause severe Dengue among those innoculated but have not had a previous episode of the disease.

It wasn’t clear whether Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea will remain in his post or will be given another appointment.

The Adobo Chronicles tried to reach Medialdea for comment but we could not locate him in Baguio City where he was reportedly scouting for a newer and bigger summer residence for the Office of the Executive Secretary.

We’ll now see you more often in Baguio, TP! At the new summer residence…
