The Real Reason Vilma Santos Declined 1Sambayan’s Nomination

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now it can be told.

When 1Sambayan announced on June 12 that Vilma Santos-Recto was one of their choices for President or Vice President in the coming 2022 Philippine elections, the Congresswoman and former film star immediately declined the nomination, saying there are other people more qualified to run for the top positions of the land.

But in an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Miss Santos disclosed her real reason for declining the nomination.

She has signed a contract to play the lead role in the remake of “Thy Womb,” originally played by her arch rival Nora Aunor. The Aunor film won many local and international awards.

We obtained a leaked copy of movie sequel’s promotional poster and we are publishing it here even without permission from the film’s producers.

Could Aunor then be nominated under the Duterte administration’s list of potential Presidents or VPs?

Robredo, Trillanes Reveal Their Preferred Names On The 2022 Ballot

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Remember the elections of 2016 where both Liberal Party Presidential candidate Mar Roxas and VP candidate Leni Robredo added “Daang Matuwid” to their names on the ballot?

Well, as they say, history repeats itself.

Today, presumptive Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates Robredo and Antonio Trillanes announced their preferred names when it comes to the official 2022 ballot.

Robredo wants her name listed as Leni “Lugaw” Robredo, while Trillanes wants his to be listed as Antonio “Kanin” Trillanes.

The two opposition stalwarts told The Adobo Chronicles that name recall counts a lot in most elections, so they would like to be listed based on the popular memes hurled at them for the last several years.

Makes. Real. Sense.

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After all, the Liberal Party’s best bet for President in the 2022 elections is not its chairperson Leni Robredo. Rather, it is Congressman Edcel Lagman of the 1st District of Albay, according to a party consensus.

This shocking development within the Opposition party was reported by The Manila Times in a breaking news headline that said:

The Adobo Chronicles tried to reach the Office of the Vice President, but calls have not been returned as of press time.

This is a developing story.
