The show is titled, “Is a Fifth Grader Smarter Than Leni Robredo?”  It will be directed by Cannes Best Director Winner Brillante Mendoza.

The show’s concept involves questions to be asked by Aquino of Leni Robredo and selected fifth graders from various schools in Metro Manila.  Questions will cover history, math, economics and politics.  If a question is answered incorrectly by Robredo, and correctly by the fifth grader, the kid will  be awarded a P10,000 scholarship prize.

The Adobo Chronicles learned that if Robredo doesn’t know the answer to a question, she can phone a friend, Georgina Hernandez.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The popular television game show ‘Family Feud’ is resurrecting in Philippine politics, thanks to cousins Senator Bam Aquino and retired entertainment personality Kris Aquino.

During a recent radio interview, Kris expressed excitement and titillation over  what she considers new friendship with President Rodrigo Duterte. “Friends na kami ni PRRD. Okay na,” she said on the radio show.  She was referring to Duterte’s apology over her war of words with PCOO Asec Mocha Uson due to the latter’s posting of a video showing Kris’ dad, Ninoy being kissed by two women just moments before his assassination.

Kris’ comment enraged Bam who is expected to run for re-election as Senator in 2019 under the New Resistance Party.

Speculation is that Kris will also run for Senator but is now seriously considering doing so under Duterte’s PDP-Laban.

Bam accused his cousin of being  a traitor to the Liberal and Opposition parties and that she is only thinking about her personal interests.

Bam pledged to do everything in his power to prevent Kris from becoming a Senatorial candidate.

’There’s room for only one Aquino in the Senate,” Bam said.

”This is now my opinion. ‘Friends’ na kami ni PRRD.  Okay na.  So, as for her (referring to Mocha Uson), I dont care!”

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with Aquino after the radio show and we asked her what her future plans are.

She confirmed that she is running for Senator in the 2019 elections and will do so under Duterte’s PDP-Laban.

”It’ll be a sure win,” she says, “because I will have the support of both the Yellows as well as the Duterte supporters.”

Aquino said she came to the decision after Duterte’s apology to her following her war of words with Mocha Uson, and after Uson reiterated to her followers that she has no plans of running for elected office.

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That’s what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for
