In a stunning revelation, Senator Risa Hontiveros has set the record straight about those “Atin Ito” billboards that popped up like wild mushroom across Metro Manila. 

While many hailed her as a fearless champion in the South China Sea territorial dispute, it turns out she had a different target in mind. 

Speaking exclusively with The Adobo Chronicles, Hontiveros clarified that her bold campaign was not about territorial claims in the South China Sea, but rather a quest to assert ownership of Manila’s Chinatown – the world’s oldest. 

Yes, forget about geopolitics; this was all about Dimsum diplomacy! Hontiveros was apparently tired of waiting in long lines for her favorite dumplings and wanted to ensure that her pork buns were truly “Atin Ito.” What a hero, right? 

So next time you see those billboards and admire her supposed presidential ambitions, remember that it’s not about geopolitics; it’s all about the battle for the best spring rolls in town. 

Senator Hontiveros: fighting the real battles that matter.
