LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berline Bureau) – Philippines’ Vice President Leni Robredo denied rumors that it was billionaire George Soros who invited her and funded her trip to London for a speaking engagement at the London School of Economics (LSE). Soros, whom President Rodrigo Duterte had said is funding the Human Rights Watch that is critical of his administration, is one of the most prominent alumni of LSE.
But in an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Robredo said that it was not Soros but rock singer Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones) who arranged for her appearance at LSE. Jagger also attended LSE.
So, is Jagger a fan of Robredo, or is Robredo a fan of Jagger?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Blogger and self-proclaimed ‘investigative journalist’ Raissa Robles has just added a new title to her growing list of credentials: world historian.
She gained the new title through a single tweet in which she revised world history by claiming the late Ferdinand E. Marcos told world leaders to impose travel visas on Filipinos.
Now we all know Marcos was a world dictator. How powerful.
Upon reading Robles’ tweet, Pinoy Ako Blog’s Jover Laurio asked Robkes: ‘Asan ang resibo?’
LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – Philippines’ Vice President Leni Robredo was briefly detained by British Immigration authorities as she was about to leave London for Manila. Robredo was in London for a speaking engagement at the London School of Economics.
Reports say that Robredo didn’t have the proper visa to enter the United Kingdom. She was holding a Schengen Visa which allows holders to freely travel in the 26 Schengen member-countries. The U.K. is not among the Schengen countries and a separate visa is required for visitors.
It was only after it was ascertained that Robredo was the Philippines’ Vice President that Immigration authorities released her. She was released on humanitarian and diplomatic grounds.
