MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s Kris Aquino’s big television comeback as host of a prime-time show, and it is star-studded! Well, one star: Vice President Leni Robredo.
The show is titled, “Is a Fifth Grader Smarter Than Leni Robredo?” It will be directed by Cannes Best Director Winner Brillante Mendoza.
The show’s concept involves questions to be asked by Aquino of Leni Robredo and selected fifth graders from various schools in Metro Manila. Questions will cover history, math, economics and politics. If a question is answered incorrectly by Robredo, and correctly by the fifth grader, the kid will be awarded a P10,000 scholarship prize.
The Adobo Chronicles learned that if Robredo doesn’t know the answer to a question, she can phone a friend, Georgina Hernandez.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now that the Supreme Court has denied her Motion for Reconsideration in connection with her ouster as Chief Justice, Maria Lourdes Sereno told The Adobo Chronicles that she now wants to move on.
”With the grace of the Almighty and with the moral support of the Filipino people, I’d like to put everything behind me now,” Sereno said.
Sereno also said that in order to fix her tarnished image, she plans to legally change her name to Vox Popoli.
The idea for the new name came up after her BBC interview with Stephen Sackur of ‘Hardtalk’ during which she indicated that rather than enter into politics, she would like to be the ‘voice of the people.’
The Adobo Chronicles just noticed that her initials as Vox Popoli would be VP. Is she gearing herself up to run for Vice President?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A new poll conducted by The Adobo Chronicles shows 99% of Filipinos trust Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte compared to only 1% who trust the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
The poll which is still ongoing, involves more than 400 respondents.
Both Duterte and the Bishops have been in headlines recently because of a word war in which CBCP bewailed the ‘escalating violence’ in the country following the murder of yet another priest. Duterte, on the other hand, threatened to publish a list of names of Catholic Clergy who he says have illicit affairs with women.
