MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A committee of the Philippines’ House of Representatives today concluded its investigative hearing on the love-hate relationship between Senator Leila De Lima and his driver-bodyguard Ronnie Dayan.

Dayan was the star witness at today’s hearing by the House Committee on Justice, a day after he was arrested for contempt of Congress.  He earlier failed to appear before the House in its investigation of the alleged illegal drug trade proliferation inside the New Bilibid Prison.  De Lima has been accused of receiving money from drug lords to support her senatorial campaign while Dayan was named by witnesses as her bagman.

Brilliant members of Congress who boasted of their law and investigative expertise asked Dayan many pointed and leading questions in an effort to establish the intensity of the love relationship between De Lima and Dayan.

The questions by the committee members succeeded in establishing an indisputable fact that the romantic relationship between the senator and her driver at one point reached Intensity 5 — an achievement that Filipino taxpayers can be proud of in as far as their elected representatives are concerned.

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It has the makings of both a box-office hit and an award-winning film.

Star Cinema announced today that it has started filming a new love story-thriller based on the now confirmed romantic relationship between Senator Leila De Lima and her driver-lover Ronnie Dayan.

In just the recent week, both De Lima and Dayan confirmed their relationship, with the senator saying it lasted “a few years” while Dayan revealing it was for seven years.

The relationship between the two has been one of the most followed stories on news and social media, especially in the light of the ongoing investigation on the alleged proliferation of illegal drug trade in the New Bilibid Prison (National Penitentiary).

Multi-awarded actress Nora Aunor will play the role of De Lima while actor Bembol Roco will play Dayan.  This is not the first time that the two play the lead roles in a Filipino film.  They played husband and wife in the 2012 acclaimed film, “Thy Womb.”

Film experts and enthusiasts predict that the De Lima-Dayan love story will surpass all box office records because of the Filipinos’ penchant for intrigue, scandal and ‘chismis’ (gossip).

They are also saying that Aunor is perfect to portray De Lima because both women have a distinctive mole on their faces.  While Roco has a shaved head, it would be easy to don a wig to look more like Dayan, they added.
