NAGA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Naga Bureau) – Ex-Vice President Leni Robredo has expressed deep concern over reports that Larry Gadon has figured in a coup!
Robredo was reacting to news that military officers in oil-producing Gabon said they had seized power on Wednesday, placing President Ali Bongo under house arrest and naming a new leader after the Central African state’s election body announced Bongo had won a third term.
Saying they represented the armed forces, the officers declared on television that the election results were cancelled, borders closed and state institutions dissolved, after a tense vote that was set to extend the Bongo family’s more than half century in power.
Robredo asked: who now will be the new Presidential Adviser on Poverty Alleviation?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau ) – Proof that the economy of the Philippines is booming, thousands upon thousands of Filipinos descended upon shopping malls across the country to take advantage of a nation-wide, week-long sale!
Some malls were even reporting on stampedes in their earlier-than-usual opening hours.
Are we seeing the beginning of full recovery from the adverse economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country?
GENEVA, Switzerland (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – For the first time since her (and her financiers’) systematic and fraudulent campaign to bag the Nobel Peace Prize, Maria Ressa admitted that her online news portal Rappler doesn’t have the integrity of facts.
Ressa’s admission all but confirms the consistent results of local and international polls naming Rappler the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines.
Ressa justified Rappler’s disinformation campaign, saying all she wanted was to influence and tarnish the results of the country’s elections to favor her chosen candidates.
