Raissa Robles’ New Book On Martial Law Now Available

DC11B487-EFD4-40A1-BAE8-74076AFBAF3DMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now that the Congress of the Philippines has approved a one-year extension of Martial Law in Mindanao, Raissa Robles’ book, “Marcos Martial Law: Never Again,” has been rendered moot and academic.

But Robles is not one to easily give up.

Today, she announced that she has quickly written a sequel to her book to make it more relevant to recent developments.

The title of the new book is “Marcos Martial Law: Forever and Ever.”

National Bookstore has refused to carry the new book because the old book didn’t sell very well.

Leni: We Should Have Preserved The Marcos Bust

E30830B2-0626-4740-A555-BD867D4BD6AEBAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – Social media exploded with angry criticism of Vice President Leni Robredo when she said that the ruins of Marawi City should be preserved to remind the Filipino people of the heroism of the soldiers and the devastation brought about to the residents by the terrorist siege.

In an exlusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles in Baguio City, Robredo seemed to be coherent and consistent with her ideas and comments.

”And yes, we should have preserved the Marcos bust in Pugo, La Union, to remind the Filipinos and tourists about the late president’s Martial Law. A mere book by Raissa Robles does not do justice to this significant era in our history,” the VP said.

The monument was a 30 m (98 ft) concrete bust of the late president erected along Marcos highway leading up to Baguio City. It was blown up in 2002 under suspicious circumstances.
