67F114F0-6793-49D6-94D7-70FE01E9B4FF.jpegQUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Yellow Edition) – Pictures don’t lie, so they say. Except, of course, when they’re photoshopped. Now we know only one out of every five Philippine National Police (PNP) officers supports Duterte.

In an analysis of published photos, it has been proven that an overwhelming majority of police officers side the Opposition.

In this particular photo analyzed by our experts at The Adobo Chronicles, five police officers who were among the security escorts of Senator Leila De Lima during one of her court appearances, are seen flashing the five-finger sign, with only one flashing the Duterte fist sign. (The five-finger sign represents solidarity with De Lima whose surname translates into “five” in the Tagalog language).

Members of the Opposition and their Yellow minions have reason to celebrate for this finding!

What To Do If You Want To Kiss In Public In Baguio Ctiy

Leave a comment

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – Local officials in the summer capital of the Philippines are not content with banning cussing in public.  They want to  ban PDA – that’s public display of affection – in the city’s parks.

While the cussing prohibition is already law,  the PDA ban is still in the works, thanks to a new ordinance that was passed on first reading prohibiting kissing, petting, necking, and lying down together within the premises of the children’s park at Burnham .  It was authored by Councilor Joel Alangsab, who says his proposal is aimed at protecting children from seeing lewd acts at the park.

So, if the proposal becomes law, we advise Baguio residents and tourists alike that when they feel like engaging in PDA while visiting Burnham and other public parks, they should bring a blanket, shawl or umbrella to cover up their lewd acts.  That would make Baguio  city officials really happy.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Pro-Duterte social media influencers Mark Lopez and Jovybev Aquino stormed Rappler’s offices yesterday, hoping to personally meet and debate with CEO Maria Ressa. Both were quickly whisked off the building by Filipino security guards who were merely following marching orders from their boss.

Lopez and Aquino said they wanted to hold Ressa and Rappler accountable for destroying the image of the Philippines in the eyes of the international community

Today, Ressa told The Adobo Chronicles that she is willing to personally meet and debate with Lopez and Aquino, but in a neutral environment, certainly not at Rappler’s offices.

Ressa said she wanted the meeting and debate to be held at Kris Aquino’s Chowking franchise restaurant on Quezon Avenue corner Araneta Avenue in Quezon City.

Ressa said that since she’s facing up to two  “Dutertards,” she will be bringing along her star reporter, Pia Rañada so that it’s all fair and square.

Kris Aquino was honored that her restaurant was chosen the venue for this historic event and she said that  the debaters and their supporters will be treated to complimentary Lumpiang Shanghai.\
