HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles, Honolulu Bureau) – House Deputy Speaker and former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza has been adopted by the City and County of Honolulu as its honorary mayor.
Atienza is vying for the position of Vice President in the May 2022 elections under Senator Manny Pacquiao’s party. Pacquiao is running for President.
The Adobo Chronicles learned that Honolulu is making this move in line with the sister city relationship between the Hawaiian city and Manila.
Honolulu has about 30 sister cities across the globe.
Asked why Honolulu didn’t pick incumbent mayor Isko Moreno as its honorary mayor, a spokesperson said that Atienza was chosen because of being a poster boy for the Aloha shirt. The VP aspirant has made the Hawaiian shirt his signature attire.
”We appreciate his ongoing promotion of Hawaii,” the spokesperson said.
NAGA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Naga Bureau) – Vice President Leni Robredo today promised that if elected President, she will abandon Malacañang Palace in Manila and will take up residence in the Malacañang of Bicol. She was referring to the Jesse Robredo Museum in Naga City.

”This is consistent with my desire to be closer to the people of laylayan (abandoned),” she said.
Robredo’s idea is nothing new. During the time of President Ferdinand E. Marcos, he would often hold office at the Malacañang of the North — the family’s residential home in Paoay, Ilocos Norte. President Rodrigo Duterte frequently flies to his hometown of Davao City, holding office at the Malacañang of the South.

Perhaps it is also time to have a Central Philippines Malacañang to be located in the Visayas. We just need to have a President from the region!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo and her campaign for the 2022 Presidency is amassing lots of support all over the world as evidenced by bridges, buildings, fountains and the like being illuminated with the color pink. The campaign has adopted pink as its official color.
Now, the supposedly non-partisan Commission on Elections (Comelec) is being accused of favoring Robredo.
An ordinary netizen saw the glaring bias and took a photo of the Comelec offices at the Palacio del Gobernador in Manila. The photo shows a pink banner waving atop a pole just in front of the Comelec building.
The Adobo Chronicles tried to contact Comelec for comment but the telephone operator said all the Commissioners were busy fielding calls about the disqualification petition filed against former Senator Bongbong Marcos.
