Manny Pacquiao May Be Banned From Future Boxing Fights In The U.S.


MANILA, Philippines (Tha Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine biased news media and members of the political opposition are having a blast over reports that PH officials and others responsible for the jailing of Senator Leila De Lima  will be banned from entering the U.S. as part of the approval by President Trump of  a Senate-initiated appropriations bill.

While there has not been been an official “ban list” from the U.S. State Department, there is an overwhelming speculation that world champiom boxer and Senator Manny Pacquiao could be included in the list because of an anti-De Lima resolution he proposed years ago.

To refresh our readers’ memory, Pacquiao  had initiated a move to  unseat De Lima from a committe chairmanship.

So if Pacquiao is indeed on the ban list, we can say goodbye to the Senator’s future title fights in the U.S.

 

Latest False Asia Survey Shows VP Leni Robredo’s Approval Rating At 2.9%

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The latest False Asia poll shows that the approval ratings of the Philippines top officials have increased. Except for Vice President Leni Robredo.

Robredo’s rating plummeted to 58% of the 5% who disapprove of Duterte, or a net rating of 2.9% (with a margin of error of 3% plus or minus .)

Duterte To Drop His War On Drugs (WOD) In Favor Of WOW

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vice President Leni Robredo’s still-unreleased report as ex-Drug Czar for two weeks is now moot and academic. President Rodrigo Duterte is officially dropping his war on drugs (WOD).

Malacañang has announced that in place of WOD, Duterte will make WOW the focal point of his remaining years in office.

WOW is an acronym for “War on Wrongs.” It was coined by Secretary Martin Andanar of the Presidential Communications Coordinating Office (PCOO), with the help of his Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy.

Technically, the war on drugs will still continue but so will the war against all that is wrong with the Philippines: oligarchy, monopolies, corruption, insurgency, political dynasties, environmental pollution, crime, traffic, fake news, paid trolls, the rising prices of galunggong and sili. You name it, Duterte will ago after it.

WOW will be Duterte’s lasting legacy. Not to mention his world record 87% approval rate.
