MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Former President NoyNoy Aquino took to Twitter just hours after the Supreme Court voted, 8-6, to oust Maria Lourdes Sereno from her post as Chief Justice.
Aquino compared the SC ruiling to unripened manggo which he says is sour and leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
PNoy’s comment angered many Filipinos who are avid fans of raw or unripened manggo, known in the vernacular as manggang hilaw.
“The more sour the manggo is, the more delicious,” one raw manggo fan told The Adobo Chronicles. “Kaya nga sinasamahan ng bagoong. That makes the raw manggo even more delectable.”
Other raw manggo fans took to social media to lambast Aquino. “Leave our manggang hilaw alone,” they decried.
Claim: Former Solicitor General FT Hilbay and broadcast journalist Karen Davila both tweeted that the decision of the Supreme Court ousting Maria Lourdes Sereno could still be reversed in the Motion for Reconsideration (MR) if at least one justice reverses his or her vote. They both claimed a 7-7 vote in the MR could reinstate Sereno.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – He is one familiar face. Whenever there is a street protest or rally, he is there. No, he actually is the organizer for many of these mass actions. He’s been doing this all his life. It’s his profession. He’s self-employed. His name is Renato Reyes, secretary-general of Alyansang Makabayan, or Bayan for short.
