MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The illegal media company Rappler once again clashed with The Adobo Chronicles, this time over President Rodrigo Duterte’s complexion.
Rather than write a biased report on the clash, we’d rather let our readers see the actual ‘news reports’ as published by Rappler and AC.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila. Bureau) – In 2013, film actor Aga Muhlach ran for the elective post of Representative for the Fourth District of Camarines Sur. He ran under the Liberal Party, and affiliated himself with the Robredos.
We all now have seen the viral video in which Muhlach, responding to a question by TV show host Vice Ganda, took to task Senator Antonio Trillanes and other Opposition politicians for always criticizing President Duterte while doing nothing to help.
The video elicited angry reactions from Opposition politicians and supporters who have called for a boycott of Muhlach’s latest movie, “First Love.”
But Liberal Party leaders, led by Mar Roxas and Leni Robredo, are doing more than just slapping Muhlach on the wrist. They want to declare the actor ‘persona non grata.’
‘Muhlach embarrassed the LP with his comments and put the party at high risk of losing supporters — and votes in the coming midterm elections —especially among Aga’s fans and millennials,” Roxas said.
Robredo, who is currently abroad, is reportedly considering ousting Muhlach from LP.
TORONTO, Canada (The Adobo Chronicles, Toronto Bureau) – Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo’s brand of economics is quite avant-garde. Remember how she calculated the impact of the increasing prices of rice on poor Filipinos (4x10x4=1,600)?
Now, Robredo has what she calls a “fool-proof” solution to the rising inflation in her country.
Speaking to reporters upon her arrival in Canada, Robredo said the government needs to do more to ease the prices of basic commodities while boosting consumer spending in local industries.
”I propose that the government impose a total ban on hamon, keso de bola and fruit cocktail this coming Christmas season,” she said.
“These luxury food items prepared by many Filipino households as part of the traditional ‘Noche Buena” could only exacerbate the country’s sick economy. Imagine if Filipinos spend their hard-earned money in more basic and simple commodities like rice, fish and vegetables rather than fancy food fares? That’s a lot of savings! Moreover, they would have extra cash to do their Christmas shopping for other goods like clothes, shoes, bags and new cell phones which, in turn, would benefit many of the small retailers. It’s a win-win situation,” she told reporters.
So, here’s to a simpler and austere Christmas. No more inflation!
