MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Hours after a leading Philippine national newspaper posted a news headline about the “remains” of Vice President Leni Robredo, the Office of the Vice President assured the Filipino people that the VP was alive and well.

The headline in the Manila Bulletin online edition stated that “Robredo’s remains” focused on Covid-19 response and not on the results of a recent Pulse Asia Survey showing the Vice President in a distant 6th place among potential Presidential candidates in 2022.

Netizens reacted to the news headline, wondering what caused the “demise” of Robredo or where the remains were interred.

Robredo herself has not appeared in public or on social media as of press time, but supporters have suggested that the VP release a photo or selfie showing her holding up a copy of the Manila Bulletin headline.
