Leni Robredo Concedes!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Subject to fact-checking by Rappler and Vera Files) –  A lot can happen within just a few hours, including a complete turnaround in statements by Vice President Leni Robredo.

At 8:21 PM on 4/19/18, Robredo tweeted that with truth on her side, she will overcome, referring to the ongoing recount of the 2016 Vice Presidential election ballots.

Then, at 3:00 AM on 4/20/18, the VP tweeted  it was imminent that Bongbong Marcos will triumph in his electoral protest.

Robredo’s sudden change of heart is most likely part of damage control where the recount could potentially diminish her narrow lead in the 2016 elections.  Already, her lead has been reduced by 5,000 votes.  It’s called saving face.

Duterte is facing a complaint before ICC for alleged crimes against humanity.

Tordesillas’ latest tirade against Duterte follows her previous accusation that the president is the No. 1 source of fake news.

The Adobo Chronicles talked to Tordesillas as she was leaving a television studio where she figured in an embarrassing interview where she aaaah’d and uuuuhm’d when asked about her working definition of fake news.

The Adobo Chronicles could not immediately fact-check Tordesillas’ claim.

The Adobo Chronicles finally caught up with Ramos today and we asked him what the significance is of the message on his undershirt.

”It simply means I’m a better President than Cory Aquino and NoyNoy Aquino combined,” he said.

Ramos’ statement didn’t sit well with NoyNoy. “I think at 90 years old, Ramos is already experiencing his second childhood,” he told The Adobo Chronicles.
