NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Many Americans were worried after news broke out that one person died in a fire at the Trump Towers in New York.
But U.S. President Donald Trump was quick to calm a worried nation.
He marked himself “safe” on his Facebook Account.
All’s well that ends well.
LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – Now it can be told. The real purpose of Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo in visiting the London School of Economics (LSE) was to help raise scholarship funds for derserving British students. The fundraising event was sponsored by the LSE Student Council which paid for Robredo’s airfare, accomodations and other travel expenses.
Robredo’s speaking engagement was just an afterthought, a last-minute decision by LSE.
The Adobo Chronicles has confirmed that Robredo helped raise a total of P3,650 or 50 pounds (GBP).
The fundraising consisted of selling bowls of the famous Leni lugaw (rice porridge) to students and professors of the school.
The LSE Student Council acknowledged that the fundraising event was a losing proposition from the beginning, but said it was going to just charge it to experience.
LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronices, Berlin Bureau)- Organizers of Leni Robredo’s speaking engagement at the London School of Economics (LSE) must be twisting and turning in bed tonight following the lukewarm reception extended to the Philippine Vice President.
Outside, a group of London Filipinos staged a protest rally, calling Robredo a ‘fake VP’ and expressing disgust over news from back home that the recount of votes in the 2016 VP Elections was marred with discovery of wet ballots and missing vote logs.
Inside, Robredo tackled the issue of politics and its role in alleviating poverty. She talked about her programs distributing free lugaw (rice porridge) to poor Filipinos.
Sources present at Robredo’s speech told The Adobo Chronicles that leading economists and some students in attendance walked out in the middle of her talk. They expected a more scholarly speech and were clearly disappointed.
