MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Several weeks ago, Philippines President Rodrigo Roa Duterte announced that he would allot an hour-long morning show on the government’s television station, PTV4, to communicate directly with the Filipino people. Well, that television program will soon become reality — as in reality TV.

Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar today unveiled the format of Duterte’s show, which in reality, is a game show.  The title? “You Ask Me One, I’ll Ask You Two!”

During the commercial-free TV show, Duterte will field questions from the television audience, and for each question he answers, he will ask two questions.

Andanar said that Duterte was very confident his answer to each question will embarrass the questioner, while the answers to his two questions will find the questioner totally in agreement with the president.

For the game show’s premiere episode, Duterte’s guests will be representatives from the United Nations, United States and European Union.

Here’s the full announcement from the Office of the President.

Third-Rate Actress Calls Philippines Third World

IMG_6334.JPGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipina actress Agot Isidro recently criticized President Rodrigo Duterte for his latest tirades against the European Union and the United States, calling him a “psychopath.”

Last week, Duterte said he would rather die of hunger than accept aid from superpowers that wish to meddle in his war against illegal drugs.

On Friday, Isidro took to Facebook and posted a message to the president:

“Unang-una, walang umaaway sa iyo. As a matter of fact, ikaw ang nang-aaway. Pangalawa, yung bansa Kung saan ka inuluklok ng 16 million out of 100+ million people ay Third World.”  (First of all, no one’s picking a fight with you.  As a matter of fact, you are one who’s fighting.  Secondly, the country where 16 Million out of 100+ Million people elected you is Third World.)

Yesterday Duterte responded to the post by saying:

“An actress is angry with me that I am a psychopath. I leave her to her constitutional rights to free expression. She should enjoy that.”

So, there you go, Miss third-rate actress, you got your response.

Oh, and we’re sorry for calling you “third-rate.” That’s just our opinion and we’re merely exercising our constitutional right to free expression.
