In his tweet, Celdran said that the country does not have problems, just drama: 9D8FB810-8BF5-4E66-ADAC-40A86B100228

Asked by The Adobo Chronicles what his concrete proposal would be to solve problems, he confidently said that all Filipino teleserye, including ABS-CBN’s ‘Ang Probinsiyano’ and GMA’s ‘Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka’ should immediately go off the air.

Pinoy Ako Blog’s Jover Laurio Blames Rappler And Vera Files For FB Account Suspension

FCA7B7CF-F9F3-4F98-A79E-340FDB96F26FMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Pinoy Ako Blog’s (PAB) Jover Laurio’s account was suspended by Facebook, with the social media giant claiming that Laurio is posing as somebody that she is not.

Immediately, Laurio blamed Rappler and Vera Files, both designated as Facebook’s Philippine partners in fact-checking posts and information on social meda, especially Facebook.

’Akala ko ba BFFs tayo,” Laurio asked of Rappler and Vera Files (I thought we were best friends forever).

Laurio told The Adobo Chronicles that she thinks Rappler and Vera Files were both jealous because PAB had more followers and engagements than Rappler and Vera Files combined.

Moral of the story: professional (and unprofessional) jealousy exists even among the Dilawans.

Philippines’ Antonio Trillanes Wants A Senate Probe On Why The Holocaust Happened

E8B2B4DD-F240-4084-A5CF-B08912C82C12MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – He holds the distinction of being the most prolific Philippine Senator, having proposed the most bills that have become law.  But it’s really more of a numbers’ game as opposed to the actual content or significance of his bills.

His name is Antonio Trillanes, a former navy officer responsible for a couple of coup attempts in Manila, and a vocal critic of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Whenever a new local or national issue hits the new headlines, he’s sure to call for a Senate probe.

Most recently, he called for a Senate inquiry into why and how the Marawi siege happened a year ago.  The siege is about rebel groups taking over the City of Marawi in the island of Mindanao.  The city remains in ruins to this day.

But to add a feather to his cap, Trillanes is now calling for a Philippine Senate probe into why the Holocaust happened.

(It isn’t clear whether Trillanes‘ call for the Holocaust probe was triggered by a recent visit to the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin by Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo and other politicians during which they were photographed smiling.)

Maybe, Trillanes‘ proposed inquiry will justify or shed light on why Robredo’s group were all smiles in the photo!
