DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao Bureau) – The announcement by President Rodrigo Duterte of the revival of the age-old Barter Trade system in Mindanao is very bad news for former Senator Bongbong Marcos.

More specifically, Barter (the exchange of goods and services without the use of currency) renders Marcos’ pending electoral protest against Vice President Leni Robredo moot and academic.

Mindanaoans can now trade Presidential daughter and Davao City Mayor Inday Sara with Robredo to be their VP.

No such luck for the Ilocanos.
