CEE7318F-86E6-416A-B6D8-7EC1FF6397DF MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A large group of Filipino lesbians is set to stage a rally in front of Malacañang Palace this weekend to protest the Duterte Administration’s crackdown on street loitering.

The group decided on this mass protest after hearing of increasing police action against tambays (loiterers).

Apparently it was case of ‘lost in translation.’

The lesbians heard it wrong. They thought it was a government crackdown on ‘tomboys,’ a widely-used term to refer to lesbians.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s Kris Aquino’s big television comeback as host of a prime-time show, and it is star-studded! Well, one star: Vice President Leni Robredo.

The show is titled, “Is a Fifth Grader Smarter Than Leni Robredo?” It will be directed by Cannes Best Director Winner Brillante Mendoza.

The show’s concept involves questions to be asked by Aquino of Leni Robredo and selected fifth graders from various schools in Metro Manila. Questions will cover history, math, economics and politics. If a question is answered incorrectly by Robredo, and correctly by the fifth grader, the kid will be awarded a P10,000 scholarship prize.

The Adobo Chronicles learned that if Robredo doesn’t know the answer to a question, she can phone a friend, Georgina Hernandez.

3A739F04-ACC1-4659-894C-0BE71DDE0A97 MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now that the Supreme Court has denied her Motion for Reconsideration in connection with her ouster as Chief Justice, Maria Lourdes Sereno told The Adobo Chronicles that she now wants to move on.

”With the grace of the Almighty and with the moral support of the Filipino people, I’d like to put everything behind me now,” Sereno said.

Sereno also said that in order to fix her tarnished image, she plans to legally change her name to Vox Popoli.

The idea for the new name came up after her BBC interview with Stephen Sackur of ‘Hardtalk’ during which she indicated that rather than enter into politics, she would like to be the ‘voice of the people.’

The Adobo Chronicles just noticed that her initials as Vox Popoli would be VP. Is she gearing herself up to run for Vice President?
