Leni Robredo Wants To Build A Wall Around The Philippines To Keep Chinese Nationals Out

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Vice  President Leni Robredo vehemently rejects suggestions that she has overblown the taho incident involving a Chinese national and a Filipino police officer.

Jiale Zhang, 23, a fashion design student, threw the soy snack at PO1 Willam Cristobal when she was not allowed to enter the train at the Boni Avenue Station of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) because she was carrying food. The MRT-3 management earlier imposed a liquid ban in train stations as a security measure.

Robredo called the incident a ‘wake up call’ and an insult to authorities, the Philippines and the  Filipino people.

Asked what she would do if she were President, Robredo said she would build a wall  made of indigenous materials around the entire Philippine Archipelago to keep Chinese nationals out, including all undocumented immigrants.

A la Donald Trump.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Top Filipino restaurants like Barrio Fiesta, Kamayan and Max, along with thousands of carenderias throughout the country condemned Senatorial candidate Mar Roxas for his recent statement justifing his loss in the two national elections.

Roxas lost to Jojo Binay when he ran for Vice President and lost to Rodrigo Duterteo when he ran for President.

In justifying his loss, Roxas said : “ I did not win, I accept that.  I offerered tinolang manok, they chose kare-kareng baka.”

The restaurants and carinderias said, “what’s wrong with kare-kare?”

Blogger Les Bacobo said on his Facebook page: “No, you didn’t offer tinolang manok; voters chose to make you tinalong manok.”

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Public Attorney’s Office Chief Persida Acosta has been asked to resign her post by Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros.  This, amid the controversy surrounding the deaths of more than 100 schoolchildren whom Acosta says died because of complications from the the Dengvaxia vaccine.

Hontiveros and others blame Acosta’s public advocacy on behalf of the Dengavaxia kids for the current outbreak of Measles in the country, saying that parents have refused to have their children vaccinated with the Measles vaccine because of the Dengvaxia scare.

Well, today, Acosta resigned!

She told The Adobo Chronicles she was resigned to the cluelessness of Hontiveros and the other critics. “Resigned na ako sa kabobohan ni Hontiveros and company.  Para lang may masabi,” Acosta said.
