As North And South Korea Prepare To End Their War, Yellows In the Philippines Prepare To Concede To Dutertards

CA440BB1-5084-4E88-92C0-6B7814E8299EMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – All we are saying is give peace a chance.  And that’s exactly what’s brewing between North and South Korea as the divided nation prepares to end a decades-long war.

Not too far away from Korea, the Philippines is similarly headed towards national unification.

If things go as planned, there will be no more Yellows and no more Dutertards, just Filipinos.

The remnants of the Yellow army, represented by a few members of the political opposition and biased media trying to hang on to long-lost power and influence, are now in talks with the Duterte government and its overwhelming number of supporters.

Realizing that theirs is a lost cause, the Yellows have expressed willingness to go into oblivion and let politics and history take their course, marked by overwhelming satisfaction with how President Duterte is running the country.

Sa ikauunlad ng bayan,  magtatago na lang ang mga Dilawan. (For the nation’s progress, the Yellows will now retreat, permanently)
