MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A random poll conducted by The Adobo Chronicles showed that most Filipinos are “concerned” about the appointment of Teddy Boy Locsin, Jr. as President Bongbong Marcos’ special envoy to China.

Asked to elaborate on their poll responses, the respondents said it is concerning that Locsin holds a portfolio as “special envoy for special concerns.” They said the title is not only redundant (SPECIAL envoy for SPECIAL concerns), but it could be abused by Locsin by dipping his finger on anything and everything about Philippines-China relations.

One Filipino we talked to asked: “What exactly are these special concerns?”

We could not provide an answer.
