The Leni Robredo Report: 99% Of Shabu Supply Already Consumed

Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Philippines Vice President Leni Robredo’s much-ballyhooed report on her two-week stint as Co-chair of the Inter-agency Committee on Anti-illegal Drugs (ICAD) finally was unveiled yesterday.

While none of Robredo’s ‘findings’ and recommendations was earth-shattering, one of her revelations shocked many Filipinos. It even came with a bar graph.

Robredo claimed that only less than 1% of the estimated supply of shabu in the country had been seized in government law enforcement operations.

Asked by reporters who swarmed the Office of the Vice President at the Boracay Mansion in Quezon City for a delectable merienda (snack) treat what the signficance was of the number she divulged, Robredo said:

”It means that 99% of the shabu supply had already been consumed!  In other words, there is no longer an illegal drug problem in the country.  Duterte’s war on drugs can be stopped ASAP.”

U.S. To Shut Down Guantanamo Bay, Will Move Detainees To ISP

Leave a comment

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – The United States has finally succumbed to pressure and demands from the international community that its detention center at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba — mostly housing suspected terrorists — be closed permanently.

Today, President Donald Trump authorized the padlocking of the detention center and the transfer of the prisoners to a newly-launched detention facility — in space.

Earlier, Trump signed a new measure creating a 6th branch of the U.S. military — the U.S. Space Force.

Apparently, part of the new measure has also authorized the launch of the ISP. No, it has nothing to do with Internet Service Providers.  Rather, it is an orbiting satellite known as the International Space Prison.  It will dock with the existing International Space Station.

The White House told The Adobo Chronicles  that it has taken this bold step as a means of ensuring that the human race will never be bothered again by the terrorists who will be given a one-way ticket to space.

All the current detainees at Guantanamo Bay will be transfered to the ISP which will be managed by the new U.S. Space Force.

Senator Dick Durbin Wants Visa-Free Travel To The U.S. By All Filipinos

Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – U.S. Senator Dick Durbin is putting his money where his mouth is. Today, the Democrat lawmaker proposed to scrap the visa requirement for all Filipinos who want to travel to the United States and says he will file the appropriate Senate bill shortly.

Earlier, in a tweet expressing his support for the jailed Senator Leila De Lima, Durbin urged Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte “to stop threatening the travel” of Filipino Americans and so many others who travel between the U.S. and other nations.

”To prove that I’m not just all talk, I will sponsor a new Senate bill that would ensure the travel of all Filipinos to the U.S., visa-free. In doing so, I challenge Duterte not to make good his threat to require U.S. citizens to obtain a visa when traveling to the Philippines.  This is all in the spirit of true reciprocity,” Durbin told The Adobo Chronicles.
