MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Several weeks ago, supporters of Vice President Leni Robredo shaved their heads in front of the Supreme Court as a way to demand that the 25% ballot-shading be considered in the ongoing recount of the 2016 Vice Presidential elections.
Votes for Robredo that were the result of just 25% shading were invalidated by the SC, acting as the Presidential Electorial Tribunal (PET).
In solidarity with her supports, Robredo herself shaved her head, to the amusement of President Rodrigo Duterte (see photo).
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Leni Robredo flunked her first try at the bar exams. Now she’s at risk of being disbarred.
The Judicial Bar Council (JBC) is seeking to disbar the Vice President for violation of her lawyer’s oath.
”By continuing to go against the decision of the duly-constituted Supreme Court in ousting Maria Lourdes Sereno from her post as Chief Justice, Atty. Robredo is all but going against her oath to abide by the law. She therefore has no business being in the law profession” a spokesperson for JBC told The Adobo Chronicles.
The High Court recently affirmed its 8-6 decision ousting Sereno with a similar 8-6 vote on the latter’s Motion for Reconsideration.
JBC added that Robredo’s actions is tantamount to contempt of court.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now that the Supreme Court has denied her Motion for Reconsideration in connection with her ouster as Chief Justice, Maria Lourdes Sereno told The Adobo Chronicles that she now wants to move on.
”With the grace of the Almighty and with the moral support of the Filipino people, I’d like to put everything behind me now,” Sereno said.
Sereno also said that in order to fix her tarnished image, she plans to legally change her name to Vox Popoli.
The idea for the new name came up after her BBC interview with Stephen Sackur of ‘Hardtalk’ during which she indicated that rather than enter into politics, she would like to be the ‘voice of the people.’
The Adobo Chronicles just noticed that her initials as Vox Popoli would be VP. Is she gearing herself up to run for Vice President?
