MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s official. DC Comics has created a new superheroine — Leni, The Pinay Wonderwoman. It is based on the biographical sketch of vice presidential candidate Leni Robredo.

The new comic book is the third to be released in the Philippines, inspired by the 2016 elections.

Earlier, Marvel released a comic book based on the heroic adventures of presidential candidate Mar Roxas. It followed an earlier comic book of yet another Pinoy superhero, Bongbong, depicting the true-to-life story of Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., who is running for vice president.

We have not received any word on whether the other presidential and vice presidential candidates will have their own comic books released before the May 9 elections which could very well become a comic convention that will surely draw millions of superhero fans here and overseas.

Kris Aquino Breaks Promise To Quit Television

April 3, 2016 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – March 26, 2016 marked the last day that presidential sister and talk show host Kris Aquino would be seen on television. Earlier, she made the big announcement that she was leaving ABS-CBN, her home network for almost 20 years, to focus on her health, her family and her businesses.

Well, not a week has passed and Aquino’s face is back on TV, campaigning for Leni Robredo, vice presidential candidate for the administration’s Liberal Party.

It looks like she has not only broken her promise (and it’s not the first time); she has also added politics to her focus.

Now you see her, now you don’t.

Mar Roxas Comics Illustrator Will Vote For Rodrigo Duterte!

March 28, 2016 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Many Filipinos are not happy about the controversial Mar Roxas campaign comic book. Mar Roxas is not happy with the illustrator of the comic book.

Airing his thoughts on his controversial creation, Pinoy artist Karl Comendador said he was merely doing his job when he illustrated the much-criticized Mar Roxas promotional comics.

On his Facebook page, Comendador said he had been doing illustrations of political figures way back and this one was no different. He also revealed he was in fact supporting the candidacy of Roxas’ rival, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

“Marami po akong naidrowing na komiks pampulitika noon at ngayon. Trabaho lang po, sana’y inyong maunawaan. Maraming salamat po. DUTERTE PO ANG PRESIDENTE KO!” he wrote. (I have drawn many political comics in the past and up to now. It’s just work, I hope you understand. Thank you. Duterte is my president!)

Upon learning that the illustrator will be voting for Duterte, the Roxas campaign instructed its staff to cut Comendador’s professional fee in half.
