The Hallucination Of Raissa Robles

1 Comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Self-proclaimed investigative writer and author of the now moot and academic book on the Marcos Martial Law had something to say about Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte.

Robles criticized Duterte for calling the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) a “fake representative of the education sector in Congress.”

“Excuse me, “ Robles told the VP, “ACT has been fighting for teachers’ rights when you were still in diapers. I know because I used to interview ACT during Martial Law.”

There was something not right in Robles’ tweet, so The Adobo Chronicles investigated the investigative journalist and these are the glaring facts we found out:

–Ferdinand E. Marcos lifted Martial Law in 1981

–ACT was founded in 1982.

So, who was Robles interviewing then? Either she is lying or hallucinating. Either way, it doesn’t bode well for the journalism profession.

Direk Vince Tañada Takes His Sarsuwela To Ilocos Norte!

Leave a comment

BATAC, Ilocos Norte (The Adobo Chronicles, Batac Bureau) – What courage it is for film director Vince Tañada to take his controversial works to unchartered territory — not just any unchartered territory, but Ilocos Norte, bailiwick of the Marcos family!

In a hastily-called press conference, the anti-Marcos lawyer and film maker announced the Ilocano version of his sarsuwela, “Bonifacio,” will open April 1 for an unspecified run at the Imelda Marcos Cultural Center in Batac, Ilocos Norte.

“Isbo ni Pacio” is the director’s direct response to the films by his archrival Darryl Yap’s highly-successful films, “Maid in Malacañang” and “Martyr or Murderer” as well as Imee Marcos’ “Kape Chronicles” online video series.

Tickets to the sarsuwela may now be purchased online from Shopee as well as all outlets that sell Batac empanada and Vigan longganisa.

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Quezon City has tried but failed in the past to make the Guinness World Record for the largest open-air zumba event ever, and it is not giving up.

Today, the Quezon City government announced that it will try again for the record, but with a twist.

The Adobo Chronicles has learned that a zumba event is in the works that will try to gather one million participants. The current record is held by the Provincial Government of Camarines Sur, at 13, 350 participants.

To achieve its goal, Quezon City will hold the event in the evening, starting at 9 pm when the usually hot weather cools down.

The event is named “Zumbang Gabi” (Night Zumba)!

Watch for further announcements. Be a part of history!
