B85C52DD-C01D-49B5-BB0F-8C7A3A5B917FMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque can take the heat, but calling him what he is not is a different ball game.

In a tweet, activist performance artist Juana Change accused Roque of being a Chinese citizen.  She was commenting on a press conference involving Filipino fishermen whose catch were taken by the Chinese Coastguard off the coast of the Philippines.0FA4AD66-4A05-4C93-8093-6F17E273185C

Today, Roque said he was filing a libel case against Change. “I can call her ugly. She can call me fat.  But to question my Filipino citizenship is a serious allegation that is without basis,” he said.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The popular television game show ‘Family Feud’ is resurrecting in Philippine politics, thanks to cousins Senator Bam Aquino and retired entertainment personality Kris Aquino.

During a recent radio interview, Kris expressed excitement and titillation over  what she considers new friendship with President Rodrigo Duterte. “Friends na kami ni PRRD. Okay na,” she said on the radio show.  She was referring to Duterte’s apology over her war of words with PCOO Asec Mocha Uson due to the latter’s posting of a video showing Kris’ dad, Ninoy being kissed by two women just moments before his assassination.

Kris’ comment enraged Bam who is expected to run for re-election as Senator in 2019 under the New Resistance Party.

Speculation is that Kris will also run for Senator but is now seriously considering doing so under Duterte’s PDP-Laban.

Bam accused his cousin of being  a traitor to the Liberal and Opposition parties and that she is only thinking about her personal interests.

Bam pledged to do everything in his power to prevent Kris from becoming a Senatorial candidate.

’There’s room for only one Aquino in the Senate,” Bam said.
