MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She has appointed herself an ‘investigative writer’ despite using Twitter to outsource for her gossip and ‘news stories.’ Now she is calling herself a ‘political analyst.’ By whose standards, who knows?

Case in point: In her analysis of a recent SWS survey on potential presidential candidates in the 2028 elections, Raissa Robles questioned why Vice President Sara Duterte garnered only 28% while pointing out that Leni Robredo who has been out of office for almost a year now, came in third!

What Robles may have missed, or misread, was that Robredo only got a measly 6%, about half of what Senator Raffy Tulfo garnered for second place.

Enter Richard Heydrian, another political analyst. He laughed so hard at Robles’ analysis, saying that the writer should just set up shop in Greenhills.

“Whatever happened to the 15 million who voted for Robredo in the 2022 elections?”, Heydarian asked.

Moral of the story: being a political analyst also requires some basic math skills.
