MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vice President Leni Robredo is finally breaking her silence on a recent comment she made regarding the rising prices of prime commodities like rice.
News media and socmed warriors criticized her for saying that 4 pesos x 10 kilos of rice per family x 4 weeks would amount to P1,600 in extra family expenses resulting from the rice price increase.
Today, the Office of the Vice President issued the following statement:
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Not only does Vice President Leni Robredo believe that 25% (ballot shading) should satisfy the 50% threshold in the 2016 Elections, she also thinks that 4 x 10 x 4 = 1,600.
It is also rumored that she told reporters that if 88% of Filipinos support President Duterte, the “remaining 120%’” support her. The Adobo Chronicles could not independently confirm that she said this. We’ll let fact checkers Rappler and Vera Files investigate.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Whenever the President of the United States delivers his State of the Union Address, a representative of the opposing political party gives his or her official response.
That tradition will now become standard in the Philippines, starting this year.
After President Rodrigo Duterte delivers his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 23, the Opposition response will be read by Vice President Leni Robredo. She’s calling it NOWNA — in reference to what she believes are the changes needed — right away —in the current Administration. (Hence the term “now na.”)
Robredo’s response will be her first major address since announcing that she was willing to head a coalition to oppose Duterte.
Robredo’s NOWNA will be broadcast live exclusively on Rappler’s Facebook page. No fact-checking necessary.
