Jover Laurio’s Disbarment Case Against Atty. Larry Gadon Thrown Out!

6DE5F65E-23F9-4B3C-BA62-0D26DD067CAC.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Pinoy Ako Blog’s Jover Laurio has joined the bandwagon and filed her own disbarment complaint against Atty. Larry Gadon.

She and others accused Gadon of grossly immoral conduct for how he acted towards the protesters (among them, Laurio) in Baguio City.

Laurio wrote in her complaint: “Complainants wish to point out that Gadon raised a dirty finger against peaceful protesters supporting Chief Justice Sereno without provocation.”

Laurio proudly posted copies of her complaint on her blog on Monday, neatly arranged like a deck of cards.44464179-646A-4CEE-958C-2EBF427A3C28

However, just minutes after she filed the complaint on Tuesday, it was thrown out by the Integrated Bar of the Philippines.

The Reason?  She submitted just three copies, instead of the required ten.

She was so in a hurry to take a photo of her complaint to post on her blog that she forgot 7 out of the ten Manila folders were empty.

Either that or she may be mathematically-challenged.

 

PNoy Imposes Gag Order On Kris Aquino

A7CBA6E8-EAA8-4E68-AC19-CC2E3A801884QUEZON CITY (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Blood is always thicker than water.  And the big brother is to be followed at all times, whether or not he used to be the President of the Philippines.

So today, NoyNoy Aquino imposed a gag order on his younger sister Kris Aquino, after the former TV talk show host went on a rampage, berating fellow TV host Korina Sanchez who happens to be the missus of former presidential candidate Mar Roxas, NoyNoy’s chosen one to succeed him.

Not only did Kris ‘accuse’ Sanchez of slapping her in the face for airing a feature video about her ex-husband James Yap; she also practically told the whole world that Rodrigo Duterte deserved to be elected president.

Kris’ rant on her Instagram Account was not only embarrassing to NoyNoy, Roxas and Korina but to all members and supporters of the Yellow Opposition.

So to prevent further spillage of Liberal Party and Opposition secrets, PNoy all but put masking tape over the mouth of Kris.

Informed sources told The Adobo Chronicles that PNoy was afraid Kris would divulge more damaging and incriminating information in connection with the 2016 elections which, among other things, could jeopardize the case of Vice President Leni Robredo in the ongoing recount of votes in the 2016 Vice Presidential elections.

 

PET Rules: Leni Robredo’s Petition To Validate 25%-Shaded Ballots Is Moot And Academic

F580E1A9-A0BB-4ABA-8536-556544F3837EMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Faced with the prospect that her victory in the 2016 Vice Presidential Elections will all but be reversed, Leni Robredo petitioned the Supreme Court, acting as the Presidential Electoral Tribution (PET) to reconsider the latter’s decision to invalidate ballots that were not at least 50% shaded.

In her petition, Robredo said that PET should consider those ballots that were at least 25% shaded, arguing that this was the threshold earlier established by the Commission on Elections.

The invalidated ballots, among other things, had caused Robredo’s lead over Bongbong Marcos to narrow down by 5,000 votes.

But in a ruling just issued by PET, the petition is deemed practically moot and academic, considering that all the contested ballots in favor of Robredo were shaded just 24.99%.
