MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) -Just hours after the Ombudsman released its decision to dismiss from service the Chief and the Assistant General Manager of the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) for abuse of authority and misconduct, Malacañang released the shortlist of candidates to replace the MIAA chief. (MIAA oversees the management and operations of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, or NAIA which will be renamed Manila International Airport on Monday, August 21.)
The shortlist includes Rodrigo Duterte supporters and others who campaigned for Bongbong Marcos in the 2022 presidential elections in the hopes of getting appointed to a key and juicy position in the administration. Most, are vloggers.
-Claire Eden Contreras, a.k.a., Bb. Maharlika
-Sass Rogando Sasot
-Mark Lopez
-RJ Nieto, a.k.a. Thinking Pinoy (who declined because he is now studying in London)
-Glenn Chong
-Malou Tiquia of Publicus Asia
-Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador
-Fugitive former Comelec Chair Andy Bautista (if he gets the courage to return to the Philippines)
Marcos is expected to announce his final choice in his speech at the renaming of NAIA on Monday.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A random poll conducted by The Adobo Chronicles showed that most Filipinos are “concerned” about the appointment of Teddy Boy Locsin, Jr. as President Bongbong Marcos’ special envoy to China.
Asked to elaborate on their poll responses, the respondents said it is concerning that Locsin holds a portfolio as “special envoy for special concerns.” They said the title is not only redundant (SPECIAL envoy for SPECIAL concerns), but it could be abused by Locsin by dipping his finger on anything and everything about Philippines-China relations.
One Filipino we talked to asked: “What exactly are these special concerns?”
