MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Enhanced Defense Cooperative Agreement (EDCA) between the Philippines and the United States is well underway. It’s basic premise is that America will defend the Philippines if the latter is attacked. In return, the U.S. has been granted access to nine Philippine sites to use as military bases.
But our reliable sources tell us that President Bongbong Marcos may soon sign EDCA 2, this time with an alliance of European countries. This, after European countries expressed the importance of countering China’s rising military activity in Taiwan and the South China Sea. And what better place to do that than in the Philippines?
Truly, Marcos lives up to his promise that the Philippines will be friend to all, enemy to none.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Nobel Laureate and convicted CEO of Rappler Maria Ressa who once described the Philippines as the worst war zone she’s ever been in, is having a change of heart!
Asked if things are better in the Philippines under the administration of President Bongbong Marcos, her response was a resounding “Yes.”
Ressa’s road to international recognition and eventually the Nobel Peace Prize was premised on her accusations of the curtailment of her free speech, the death of Democracy and the Philippines being a war zone. She even wrote a book on how to stand up to a dictator (Rodrigo Duterte).
Is Ressa’s warming up to the Marcos administration a first step to seeking presidential pardon in the event the Supreme Court affirms her cyber libel conviction?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – How the world turns!
‘Kakampures,’ die-hard Rodrigo Duterte followers and supporters who are anti Bongbong Marcos, are switching loyalties. They now have joined the ranks of the ‘Kakampinks,” followers and supporters of defeated presidential candidate Leni Robredo.
The switch came just hours after photos were published showing Duterte visiting Marcos in Malacañang. During the meeting, the former president reported gave some sound advice to the incumbent on matters of national concern and also made a verbal report on his recent meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
A ‘Kakampure’ told The Adobo Chronicles (on condition of anonymity) that his fellow DDS (Die-hard Duterte Supporters) were very disappointed and disillusioned that the previous and current residents of Malacañang seem to now be in very good terms.
Is UniTeam now actually coming into fruition? Minus the ‘Kakampure’ turncoats, of course!
