MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In keeping with his campaign promise of unity, President-elect Bongbong Marcos said today that he intends to keep August 21 each a year as a national non-working holiday.

Republic Act No. 2956, signed into law in 2004, declares August 21 of every year as “Ninoy Aquino Day” commemorating the death anniversary of former Senator Benigno “Ninoy” S. Aquino Jr.

Marcos, however said that he will rename the holiday to ”Louise Araneta-Marcos Day,” to celebrate his wife’s birthday.

All’s well that ends well!

Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Vice President Leni Robredo, newly-arrived from a well-deserved junket in New York, has quickly responded to a letter from VP-elect Inday Sara Duterte requesting a meeting for a smooth transition to the new administration.

Congratulating Duterte — for the first time since the May 9 elections — for being officially proclaimed duly-elected Vice President, she told the outgoing Davao City Mayor, ”huwag nang transition, merienda na lang!” (No more transition, just snacks.)

Robredo repeated those famous lines she used when she tried to avoid questions from reporters at her headquarters in Quezon city.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler, the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines whose CEO Maria Ressa is a convicted criminal, is reporting that books about the late great President Ferdinand E. Marcos and his Martial Law regime are flying off the shelves, describing it as ”panic buying.”

The Adobo Chronicles’ investigative journalists stationed themselves at major bookstores around the country to verify this ”phenomenon” reported by Rappler.

We found out that there is, indeed, a panic-buying mode among many Filipinos but it wasn’t about the thirst for knowledge about Marcos and Martial Law.

We have learned that a ”National Marcos and Martial Law Book Burning” activity has been scheduled in various parts of the country. come June 30th, the day of inauguration for the new administration.

The aim of this activity is to forever erase the false narratives and historical revisionism on the greatest Philippine president the country has ever had which flourished for three decades in the post-Marcos era.

What a great new start for Marcos’ son, Bongbong, who is to become the 17th President of the Philippines!
