MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipinos woke up this morning to the shocking news that Senator Bong Go has been placed under house arrest.
The senator is widely known to be former President Rodrigo Duterte’s lady-in-waiting and personal confidant.
It wasn’t clear who made the arrest or if this development has anything to do with the ICC investigation on Duterte’s war on drugs.
The Adobo Chronicles investigative team can now confirm that it was Ali Bongo, president of the African state of Gabon — not Philippine Senator Bong Go — who was placed under house arrest.
A case of mistaken identity by curiosity-wielding Pinoy netizens?
NAGA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Naga Bureau) – Ex-Vice President Leni Robredo has expressed deep concern over reports that Larry Gadon has figured in a coup!
Robredo was reacting to news that military officers in oil-producing Gabon said they had seized power on Wednesday, placing President Ali Bongo under house arrest and naming a new leader after the Central African state’s election body announced Bongo had won a third term.
Saying they represented the armed forces, the officers declared on television that the election results were cancelled, borders closed and state institutions dissolved, after a tense vote that was set to extend the Bongo family’s more than half century in power.
Robredo asked: who now will be the new Presidential Adviser on Poverty Alleviation?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau ) – Proof that the economy of the Philippines is booming, thousands upon thousands of Filipinos descended upon shopping malls across the country to take advantage of a nation-wide, week-long sale!
