Broadcast Journalist Karen Davila Says Vico Sotto Has Split Personality

1 Comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) –Leave  it to broadcast journalist Karen Davila (Rated K)  to ask the tough questions like —is the planned subway going to be “below or above ground?”

But the ABS-CBN News talk show host is also a certified psychologist, as evidenced by he recent interview with Vico Sotto, entertainment personality Vic Sotto’s (Tito, Vic and Joey) son who is running for mayor of Pasig City.

Davila started the interview with a comment that Vico is a “splitting image” of his father.

Split personality eh, Karen?

Or did she mean “spitting personality?”

An Open Letter To Noynoy Aquino And Albert Del Rosario

Leave a comment

As a public service, The Adobo Chronicles is publishing this open letter by one of our readers/subscribers, addressed to ex-President Noynoy Aquino and his ersthwhile Foreign Affairs Secretary, Albert Del Rosario:

Dear Sirs:

First of all, let me congratulte both of you for your significant roles that led to the Philippines winning its arbitration case filed with the United Nations defending our country’s claim to one of the disputed territories in the West Philippine Sea — Pag-asa Island.

Today, I read  with keen interest the Manila Times column of  a journalist and book author I greatly admire — Rigoberto Tiglao —which points out that the Pag-island the Philippines is claiming as its territory is actually just a rock.

While the news is very disapponting to me, it has given me much excitement  because of two rocks that have been sitting in my garden for many years now.

I am afraid that China or some other foreign country might take interest in the rocks and claim them as part of their their territory.

I am writing you to see if any of you, Sirs, would be interested in representing me in a case I am planning to submit to the United Nations to lay claim to my two precious rocks.

I do not have a lot of money to fund this claim, so I was wondering if you would be kind enough to render your services to me on a pro bono basis.

I am looking forward to your favorable reply.

Sincerely,

Juan  De La Cruise

P.S. I was also going to ask the same favor of former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay but  he’s too busy with his hopeless Senatorial campaign.

6DED005E-CD1A-4FE3-A88E-EC40AD929C49.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Thanks to the efforts of ex-President Noynoy Aquino and his earstwhile very competent Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert Del Rosario, the Philippines scored a major victory over the disputed territory in the West Philippine Sea.

In its arbitration case filed with the United Nations, the Philippines laid claim to Pag-asa Island.

Alas, as it turns out, the disputed territory is not an island, but a rock.

All that for nothing.

Well, perhaps Aquino and cohorts can instead lay claim to Dwayne Johnson, The Rock! He may not be Filipino but at least he is of Pacific Island heritage (Samoan).
