GUINNESS RECORD: Philippines Will Have Two VPs For Eleven days!

DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao Bureau). – Here’s one for the Guinness Book of World Records:  the Philippines will have two vice presidents, albeit only for eleven days!

Presumptive Vice President Inday Sara Duterte announced that she plans to have her oath-taking on June 19, eleven days before that of Presumptive President Bongbong Marcos. (Under the Constitution, the President-elect — and by extension — the Vice President-elect shall take the oath of office at around noon on June 30, 2022.)

2016 was a weird exemption when Leni Robredo had a separate inauguration as VP from that of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Inday Sara’s announcement sent waves of disappointment to many of the 31 million who voted for the Marcos-Duterte tandem, dashing their hopes to personally witness the historic oath-taking of the17th President and his VP on the same day and stage.

So, technically, Duterte’s oath-taking will not yet formally install her as Vice President since the term of the incumbent, Robredo, doesn’t end till June 30.

For eleven days, the Filipinos will have two vice presidents — a world record indeed!

Sara Duterte’s Vice Presidential Oath Leaked!

DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao Bureau) – Presumptive Vice President Inday Sara Duterte announced that she will take her oath of office 11 days early, in Davao City.

The announcement came as a big disappointment for UniTeam supporters who wanted to witness the historic inauguration of both presumptive President Bongbong Marcos and Duterte on the same day and stage. (The presidential inauguration is set for noon on June 30, 2022, as stated in the 1987 Philippine Constitution.)

The Adobo Chronicles obtained a leaked copy of Duterte’s oath and we are sharing it with our readers and followers.

Rowena Guanzon: Fake Congresswoman-to-be?

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ex-Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon has been touting herself as an incoming congresswoman by virtue of the PWD partylist she had been campaigning for.

Guanzon gained notoriety during the recent campaign through her appearances at rallies of the Robredo- Pangilinan presidential and vice-presidential tandem and her TikTokish antics on social media.

Now, Rappler, the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines whose CEO Maria Ressa is a convicted criminal, is reporting that Guanzon is not among the nominees of the said partylist, noting that when the deadline for nominee substitution happened Guanzon was still a Comelec Commissioner.

Will Vera Files please fact-check either Guanzon or Rappler’s story to settle once and for all whether the former is a fake Congresswoman-to-be or if the latter is fake news?
