MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Who could forget the “Otso Diretso” the eight mid-term Philippine senatorial candidates who scored a resounding zero in the 2019 polls?

Well, yet another mid-term elections are coming up in 2025, and already, the political opposition has lined up its potential senatorial candidates, one less than in 2019.

Netizens were quick to react to the announcement, saying that the “Otso Diretso sa Inodoro” (8 direct to the toilet), will reincarnate as “Siete Walang Suwerte” ( 7 with no luck), indicating that they expect yet another bad luck for the opposition’s magic 7.

But this is a free country and the Democratic processes work quite well. So there is no stopping the opposition from adding insult to injury as far as the mid-term senatorial elections are concerned.
