QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Vice President Leni Robredo is reportedly laughing off the Sedition charges recently filed against her and others by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Robredo categorically denied that she would be capable of seduction.

”It’s a desperate attempt by supporters of the Duterte administration to ruin my reputation and to steal the Vice Presidency from me.” she said.

After she made the statement, Office of the Vice President spokesperson Georgina Hernndez whispered something to her ear, after which Robredo said:

’Magmerienda na lang tayo.” (Let’s just have some snacks.)

PNoy Blames Duterte For Decline In Leni Robredo’s Approval Rating

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ex-President NoyNoy Aquino is known for his blame game. He blamed his predecessor Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for everything that went wrong during his 6 years in office.

Now, PNoy is back, blaming President Rodrigo Duterte for the recent decline in the approval rating of VP Leni  Robredo.

Robredo’s approval rating declined from +42 to +28 in the latest poll by the SWS.

Aquino said the steep decline was due to Duterte’s recent public pronouncements that Robredo will never be ready to be President. “Duterte’s pronouncements have resonated well with the Filipino people, resulting in negative ratings for the VP,” he added.

Duterte Orders Cabinet Members To Undergo 3 Months Military Training

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – During his State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Rodrigo Duterte reiterated Monday that he chose military men to be part of his Cabinet because they followed orders.

“Kapag sinabi mong walang corruption, walang corruption,” he added. (If you tell them no corruption, there will be no corruption.)

He added that members of the armed services were aware that he was a lawyer, and that he would never issue any illegal order.

So, as Duterte begins the final 3 years of his presidency, he has ordered all his Cabinet Secretaries and Undersecretaries — men and women — to undergo a  3-month military training to instill in them discipline, integrity and loyalty in serving his administration and the Filipino people.

Malacañang told The Adobo Chronicles that the only exemptions to his order are members of his Cabinet who have been ex-military men and those who have undergone R.O.T.C. (Reserved Officers Training Corps) in their younger years in college.

Sa ika-uunlad ng Bayan, disiplina ang kailangan. (Discipline is needed for the nation’s progress.)
