QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Hold the presses on impeachment! Vice President Leni Robredo has just announced that she is stepping down in order to spend more quantity time with her daughters.

The shocking announcement came just hours after Robredo concluded the first episode of her new weekly radio 📻 program which aired Sunday, Mother’s Day.

During the radio show, Robredo had this advice to Filipino working mothers:

‘Nothing will ever take the place of the time you spend with your children. Some working mothers I know would say that giving their children quality time is okay. But I tell them, no. Quality time is not okay. It should be quantity time, which means parents should spend all the time they could with their children.”

Many working mothers, grandmothers and single parents took to social media to denounce Robredo’s statement and were planning to organize a “Million Mom March Vs. Robredo” at the Luneta sometime next week.

To prove that she was sincere in her advice to mothers, and to avert any civil unrest as a result of her comments, Robredo said she has decided to immediately step down from her position.

The 1987 Philippine Constitution gives the incumbent President the power to choose who will replace the Vice President. Who will it be ?

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – WannaCry virus is a ransomware program targeting Microsoft Windows that has recently infected over 230,000 computers in 99 countries, demanding ransom payments in bitcoin in 28 languages.

If you live in the Philippines, here’s how you can protect your computers from the data-damaging virus:

Do not open emails from Leni Robredo, Jim Paredes, Cynthia Patag, Raissa Robles, Maria Ressa, Atty. Jesus Falcis or Agot Isidro.
Refrain from getting your online news from ABS-CBN, Inquirer or Rappler, TIME, or New York Times.
Be cautious when clicking on links from Winnie Monsod , Chito Gascon or Georgina Hernandez.
If you see phrases on your emails or social media accounts such as ‘UN Rapporteur,’ ‘frailties of a woman,’ or ‘na ano lang,’ delete them right away. They contain the dreaded virus.
Be very afraid when a yellow flip flop icon appears on your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts. Your computer has been compromised. See an IT immediately.
Always stick to Adobo Chronicles, PCOO, Manila Times except the column of Kit Tatad, and the pro-Duterte Trollerati for up-to-date, unbiased and accurate news and information.

Spead this warning widely to your friends, family and networks. You’re welcome!

Facebook Unveils Newest Emoticons

L-R: Like, Love it, Thankful, Hilarious, Surprised, Sad, Angry, Fake

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In the week leading up to Mother’s Day, Facebook users were surprised to see a new emoticon that they could use to respond or react to posts.

The new emoticon is a purple flower which is supposed to convey the emotion of being thankful.

In the Philippines 🇵🇭, in addition to the purple flower, Facebook has included a second new emoticon — a graphic image of Vice President Leni Robredo.

Facebook says that Filipinos can use the Robredo emoticon to convey that the post they are reading is “fake” or a “troll.”

Robredo has been labeled FVP (Fake Vice President) by her critics and those who allege that she stole the election from rival Bongbong Marcos.

The VP is also known to have a legion of online supporters — most of them anonymous — engaged in the spreading of fake and biased news or who are true masters of trolls.
