MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In an exchange of barbs, Philippine Senator Risa Hontiveros proclaimed she is not into “drama,” just work.

Hontiveros was reacting to Vice President Sara Duterte’s statement that the senator has a flair for theatrics as displayed during the senate budget hearing for the Office of the Vice President.

But then, just hours later, Hontiveros used her social media account to post a dramatic meme asking the question, “Pero bakit parang kasalanan ko pa?” (Why does it appear that it’s my fault?)

Contradictions 1.0, or Theatrics 2.0 ?
