Lacierda during his days as Malacañang spokesperson
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ex-President NoyNoy Aquino’s chief spokesperson Edwin Lacierda took to his Twitter account to defend his former boss.
In his tweet, Lacierda said that none of President Rodrigo Duterte’s “impromptu speeches” are memorable unlike NoyNoy.
The Adobo Chronicles dug into our archives to look for even just one NoyNoy speech that was memorable.
We found one: when he promised to let himself run over by a train if problems of the MRT were not addressed by a certain deadline.
Unfortunately, that memorable speech remained just that — memorable. NoyNoy never acted on his promise, even to this day.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She calls herself “Mutya ng Masa,” but Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte would rather call her “Reyna ng Intriga.”
It all happened during a press conference in which ABS-CBN’s Doris Bigornia played smart by asking the president who is going to be the next mayor who will fall. It was in obvious reference to the recent police raid in Ozamiz City, in which suspected drug lord Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog was killed.
It was a question that impressed the publisher of the entertainment magazine, TIKTIK.
Immediately after the press conference, Bigornia received a text message offering her the position of editor-in-chief of the new and improved entertainment tabloid.
There are no indications that Bigornia will decline the offer. Good for her!
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has signed the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act which mandates free tuition at 112 state universities and colleges (SCUs) throughout the country.
However, upon the recommendation of the Department of Education, the new law signed by Duterte has dropped the University of the Philippines in Diliman from the free-tuition SCU list.
The decision to start charging tuition at UP Diliman was based on the campus’ increasing involvement in public protests and rallies.
“It is no longer an institution of higher learning, but rather a center for taxpayer-funded political activism,” Education Secretary Leonore Briones.”
The funds saved from this move will be used to provide scholarships to deserving but poor students who may not live in cities where there are SCUs, Briones said.
