De Lima Does Not Want Trillanes In Jail, But For A Different Reason

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Leila De Lima today said that she doesn’t want her fellow Senator Antonio Trillanes jailed.

De Lima was reacting to news reports that President Duterte has ‘revoked’ the amnesty granted to Trillanes by NoyNoy Aquino. The revocation of the amnesty opens up the possibility that Trillanes will be back in jail for two faiiled mutinees.

But unlike most of Duterte’s critics, De Lima has a different reason for coming to the defense of Trillanes.

De Lima told The Adobo Chronicles that if Trillanes ends up in jail, then she will no longer be the poster girl for political persecution. She fears being overshadowed by Trillanes. “This will absolutely deminish my stature as the highest Philippine Opposition political figure targeted by Duterte. It will also affect international human rights awards and plaques that I could be receiving in the future.”

”Two is a crowd,” De Lima added.

Kris Aquino’s ChowKing Franchises Will No Longer Serve Rice

September 2, 2018 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Queen of All Media Kris Aquino just announced that rice will no longer be served at her Chowking franchise restaurants in Quezon City.

FE2F404C-3D06-4FA6-8B27-14A4A2DCB368 She made this announcement in support of her cousin, Senator Bam Aquino, who tweeted that National Food Authority (NFA) Administrator Jason Aquino should be fired for what he says the Filipino people are experiencing in as far as short supply and rising prices of rice are concerned.

A survey conducted by The Adobo Chronicles, however, showed that there has not been a short supply of rice in restaurants and carinderias throughout the country. There has not been an increase in rice prices on restaurant menus. Additionally, many restaurants still offer UNLI rice (unlimited rice) on some of their menu items.

But blood is thicker than rice, so we can’t really blame Kris for supporting her cousin in his continued hallucination about runaway prices of rice in the country.

So, if you’re a fan of the ChowKing Lauriat and other rice menus at ChowKing, skip Aquino’s restaurants in Quezon City. There are hundreds of other ChowKing franchises that still serve rice.
