BEIJING, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – The United States has reiterated its “One China” policy, adding that it does not support Taiwan Independence.
With this statement, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, all but assured Filipinos that it will not use the Philippine EDCA (Enhanced Defense Cooperative agreement) sites as staging ground to defend Taiwan. Instead, it will just sit quietly and watch from the Philippines in the event China invades Taiwan.
A sigh of relief from Filipinos opposed to EDCA.
BREAKING: Secretary of State Anthony Blinken gives China the green light to invade Taiwan during his visit to Beijing, China.
"We do not support Taiwan independence."
What a pivot from Biden’s previous comments from just months ago. What happened?
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Citizens of Quezon City didn’t have to look far (to the Senate) to see how their legislative chambers are being turned into a circus arena.
Actress-turned-Quezon City District 5 councilor Aiko Melendez stirred up controversy after uploading TikTok videos that featured her and fellow officials dancing inside the Quezon City session hall. The videos, set to Mariah Carey’s Touch My Body, were filmed prior to the official session on June 19 at the Quezon City Hall legislative building.
In one video, Aiko was joined by Julian Trono, the chairman of Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) in Quezon City. Aiko jokingly captioned the video, “With SK Federation President for QC councilor @Julian Trono, fun times before the session.”
The Adobo Chronicles reached out to Melendez for comment and she had this to say:
“I have no regrets for shooting the TikTok video. My only regret is that instead of using Maria Carey’s song, I should have used “Respect” by Aretha Franklin.”
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s quite easy to mistake one for the other. They sound alike when making public statements — ex-Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo and actress and TV host Kim Chiu.
Many netizens wondered if they use the same ghostwriter for their public statements.
The Adobo Chronicles fielded its most experienced fact-checkers to investigate and this is what we found out:
NO, Robredo and Chiu do NOT use the same ghostwriter. But they do share the same thought process and the same difficulty in expressing their thoughts.
So our verdict: suggestions that both women use the same ghostwriter is FAKE NEWS.
