MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vice President Leni Robredo is finally breaking her silence on a recent comment she made regarding the rising prices of prime commodities like rice.
News media and socmed warriors criticized her for saying that 4 pesos x 10 kilos of rice per family x 4 weeks would amount to P1,600 in extra family expenses resulting from the rice price increase.
Today, the Office of the Vice President issued the following statement:
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Not only does Vice President Leni Robredo believe that 25% (ballot shading) should satisfy the 50% threshold in the 2016 Elections, she also thinks that 4 x 10 x 4 = 1,600.
It is also rumored that she told reporters that if 88% of Filipinos support President Duterte, the “remaining 120%’” support her. The Adobo Chronicles could not independently confirm that she said this. We’ll let fact checkers Rappler and Vera Files investigate.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque came to the defense of his boss, Rodrigo Duterte against critics who blame him for the current rise of the country’s inflation rate to an all-time high of 5.2% . (The last time inflation rate reached 5.2% was in 2011 during the tenure of NoyNoy Aquino.)
In a statement issued to the news media, Roque said that the 5.2% inflation rate is “inflated.” “It’s more imaginary,” he added.
To prove his point, Roque listed his observations which attest to the fact that Filipinos are not feeling the impact of the supposed high inflation rate:
