Barangay Officials Nationwide Demand Senator Trillanes’ Resignation

971B5CC7-55F6-4E93-870C-9A65ECDD0110MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The 42,000-member Liga ng mga Barangay sa Pilipinas (League of Barangays in the Philippines) is demanding the immediate resignation of Senator Antonio Trillanes.

The League said Trillanes insulted the barangays which are the core units of the country’s political and community administration. “The national government is the tree, and we are the branches,” it pointed out.

It all started when Trillanes posted on his Twitter account, a criticism of President Duterte’s statement on the closure of Boracay, saying in jest that he will just give lands to farmers and convert the resort into a land reform area.

 

In his tweet, Trillanes said that Duterte is just ‘pang-Barangay,’ suggesting that it is a low-point in the President’s administration.

The League threatened that if Trillanes didn’t resign by this weekend, it will organize a protest rally against the Senator to be held at the Manila Peninsula.  Manila Pen was the venue where Trillanes and the Magdalo group of mutineers stated a siege, demanding the ouster of then Presideng Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

What goes around comes around.

 

 

Exclusive: PNoy Reacts To Senate Committee Report On Dengvaxia

2A4F842B-8A75-4A2C-809E-7D0A2CAADE59QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ex-President NoyNoy Aquino finally broke his silence and reacted to the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee’s report on the botched Dengvaxia vaccination program which put the lives of over 800,000 Filipino school children at risk.

Senator Dick Gordon’s committee recommended that criminal charges be filed against Aquino and key members of his administration.

In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles at his Times Street residence in Quezon City, Aquino said:

”Kung alam ko lang na aabot sa ganito, sana nagpasagasa na lang ako sa tren.” (Had I known it would come to this, I should have just let myself be runover by a train.)

Aquino was, of course, referring to his botched promise that if the MRT project during his administration would not be completed on time, he’d let himself be runover by a train.

Is that promise finally coming to fruition?

PNoy To Produce New Prime-time Show For ABS-CBN

616ABBEE-12FF-42FC-A2BB-10E504139901QUEZON CITY,  Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Reacting to the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee’s report recommending that he be criminally charged for the botched Dengue vaccination program which put more than 800,000 school kids in harms way, former President NoyNoy Aquino said, it’s the “Dick Gordon Show,” referring to the Committee Chair.

That sparked a brilliant idea for the ABS-CBN Network which asked Aquino if he would be willing to be the executive producer of a new prime-time show titled, well, “The Dick Gordon Show.”

Aquino agreed without batting an eyelash.

Sources close to ABS-CBN executives told The Adobo Chronicles that the ‘Dick Gordon Show’ will be patterned after that famous American TV show, “Dick Van Dyke Show.”

Watch for its launch coming soon to a television near you.
