Rodrigo Duterte Bites Own Actions On Afghan Refugees!

DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao City Bureau) – People sometimes bite their own tongue and their own words, but leave it to former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to bite his own actions.

Duterte has slammed the United States’ recent request for the Philippines to house Afghan refugees, particularly those who have worked for the American government.

But his actions during his term have come back to haunt him.

In 2021, his administration welcomed Afghan refugees to the Philippines.

Unsolicited Advice To Philippine Senators From Former Senate President.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – He knows what he is talking about because he’s been there, done that!

Former Senate President Franklin Drilon has some serious advice for the current leadership in the Philippine Senate.

Addressing the incumbent senators, Drilon said they must project the dignified image of the senate.

Drilon’s comment came in the midst of criticism that the Upper Chamber has been exhibiting a lot theatrics during sessions right before the eyes of the Filipino people.

Who could forget the moment when Senator Robin Padillo pulled a comb from his pocket and started combing his mustache. And how about that kneeling incident when Senator Ronald Batao knelt before police officers being investigated by his committee.

“You all need to wake up,” Drilon told his former colleagues.

Drilon is known in social media circles as the Philippine version of “Sleepy Joe,” sneaking in a nap or two during live senate deliberations.
