MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – With just about three weeks till Philippine election day on May 9, former Senator Bongbong Marcos has widened his lead over closest rival Vice President Leni Robredo.
Marcos is favored by a majority of respondents in this month’s Kalye Surveys.
Based on the tabulation conducted nationwide from April 1 to 10 with 3,000 respondents, Marcos was the runaway winner with almost 62 percent preference shares. Robredo got 18.4 percent.
Responding to a query from The Adobo Chronicles, Robredo spokesperson Barry Gutierrez said the survey results have not dampened the Vice President’s spirits. ”She’s looking at the positive side,” Gutierrez said, ”that she has widened the gap between her and Marcos by as much as 44 points,” he added.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In the field of satire, there can only be one, not two standing. Such is the case in the Philippines.
Up until yesterday, there were two competing Filipino satires competing for Filipino netizen attention and following.
One of them, The Adobo Chronicles has, since its establishment in 2013 been dominating Facebook newsfeeds the world over, but especially in the Philippines. Alas, yesterday, Facebook, for some still unknown reasons, has unpublished the Chronicles’ FB page.
That leaves one and only one Filipino satire site in the country: Rappler!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It may be the longest crucifixion ever recorded in the history of mankind.
In observance of the Holy Week, a Filipino Catholic parish crucified the campaign of Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan in an eerie foreshadowing of the death of the duo’s presidential and vice-presidential aspirations, respectively.
It is the longest crucifixion because death does not come until May 9, the day of the Philippine elections.
There is time for repentance (or withdrawal), and maybe, Robredo and Pangilinan could still be spared from the inevitable demise.
