MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Senator Grace Poe earlier delivered a public prayer seeking divine intervention so that the University of the Philippines (U.P.) wins in this year’s UAAP Finals over Ateneo.
Poe attended U.P. before moving to Boston to finish her undergraduate degree.
Many have said that the last time U.P. was in the basketball finals, the country “deposed a dictator, Ferdinand E. Marcos.” They are hoping that a U.P. victory this year would lead to President Duterte being deposed as well.
Poe has similar hopes, but went further by saying that if U.P. loses and Ateneo wins, she will step down as a Senator.
Quite a deal, we’d say.
Salamat po, Lord, pinakinggan mo ang panalangin namin!
MANILA, Philippies (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vice Presidential Assistant Georgina Hernandez is on leave of absence, and Leni Robredo can’t wait any longer to issue a statement on the appointment by President Duterte of Lucas Purugganan Bersamin as the new Chief Justice of the Philippine Supreme Court.
The Adobo Chronicles obtained an advanced copy of Robredo’s statement and part of it reads:
“Lubos na nakakabahala ang pagkapili ni Justice Bersamin bilang bagong Chief Justice ng ating Korte Suprema.
Hindi sinunod ni Pangulong Duterte ang kanyang pangako na isasaalang-alang niya ang seniority sa kanyang desisyon.
Sa pagkakaalam ko, hindi naman senior (Sr.) si Bersamin. Di ko nga alam kung Junior (Jr.) siya.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Opposition Senator Bam Aquino urged Filipinos to remember his uncle Ninoy’s ‘love of country.’
“Sa darating na Bonifacio Day, huwag nating kakalimutan na ang kanyang pagkamatay ay hindi lang dahil nabaril siya,” Aquino said in a statement.
“ Iyan po ay dahil sa napakalalim niyang pagmamahal sa ating bayan na mas ginusto niyang umuwi kahit na baka makulong at mapanganib ang kanyang buhay kaysa sa manatili sa Amerika na mapayapa naman at ligtas,” he added.
Bam apparently mistook Bonifacio Day as the day honoring Marcial Bonifacio, Ninoy’s alias used in his fake passport at the time he was gunned down at the Manila International Airport.
November 30 is a Philippine national holiday honoring Andres Bonifacio, one of the country’s national heroes.
