MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If you think Philippine senators are just focused on investigating the police killing of teen Kian Delos Santos during a recent drug operation in Caloocan City, think again.
In a released calendar, the Senate is clearly headed for a backlog of hearings ‘in aid of legislation.’
But it will be a great opportunity for some senators to experience their three minutes of fame.
Also, think of the revenue that will be earned by ChowKing, Jollibee , McDonald’s or whichever fastfood chain is contracted to prove the free lunches to all attendees to the hearings.
NAGA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As the the electoral protest filed by former Senator Bongbong Marcos slowly inches its way towards a resolution by the Supereme Court, Leni Robredo is now mulling her new career as a private citizen.
Office of the Vice President spokesperson Georgina Hernandez told The Adobo Chronicles that Robredo is leaving no stone unturned as she mulls life after a possible short-lived VP stint.
“It is in her heart to travel to places, especially in the laylayan,” Hernandez said, “so she is seriously considering a new career as a bike rider, joining competitive tours that would wind through the poorest of places throughout the country.”
This explains the VP’s recent participation in a freedom ride, along with bicyclists in her home province. She is training hard and is well on her way to being an ex-celebrity biker.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao Bureau) – He is the man that is always seen with President Duterte. Wait, make that former Mayor Duterte.
It was never a surprise that Bong Go has been appointed presidential special assistant with the rank of Secretary.
No one is sure what his voice sounds like because he never speaks — at least not in public.
But today, Duterte received the news he most feared: Go is resigning as his special assistant.
The reason? Well, Go would go all the way to support Duterte but apparently, he didn’t expect to be in harms way, asked to be garbed in military uniform, carrying a gun and accompanying the president to fight the terrorists in Marawi City.
It was the last straw for Go. Loyalty has its limits.
