Senator Bato Dela Rosa Wants To Conduct Senate Hearing On Ongoing Socmed Meltdown!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In what many are seeing as a display of legislative and mediation prowess, Senator Bato de la Rosa has proposed a groundbreaking Senate hearing to address the epic showdown between Politique PH and Sass Rogando Sasot, as well as the fiery feud between Mark Anthony Lopez and The Adobo Chronicles. 

Bato’s announcement comes  days after Sasot and Lopez had a severe social media meltdown over the anonymity of Politique which they claimed to be “lacking in substance” like the world-famous The Adobo Chronicles.

Senator Bato, a self-proclaimed social media peacekeeper, assures the nation that this hearing is “not in aid of legislation” nor an attempt at censorship — a relief to anyone expecting real governance. 

Instead, it promises to bring tranquility to Philippine social media, an area where maturity, facts, and rational discourse have been sorely lacking.

Watch out, world – Senator Bato is here to save the Internet!

In The Philippines, Politicians Lie On Their SALNs; In The U.S., They Lie About Their Wealth!

(AC’s senior geopolitical correspondent Brian Neyra contributed to this report)

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been found guilty of exaggerating his wealth! Will he receive a refund of taxes he paid — assuming, of course, that he did pay.

Thousands of miles away, the Philippines continues its rigorous scrutiny of politicians  through their Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALNs). Anything omitted is begging for suspicion and charges of “unexplained wealth.”

Trump, renowned for his “art of the deal,” now faces allegations that his boasting about his wealth exceeds the bounds of truth. While Trump’s penchant for hyperbole may not surprise many, the Philippines’ meticulous examination of politicians’ financial records makes his exaggerations pale in comparison. 

As Filipino politicians sweat over their SALNs, it seems Trump’s “greatest wealth” might just be his ability to bend reality.
