MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Year after year, attendance at the commemoration of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution has been dwindling, more so this year with another Marcos seated in Malacañang.

Reacting to the dismal show of force at EDSA today, the 37th anniversary of the ousting of President Ferdinand E. Marcos, top-notcher Senator Robin Padilla filed a bill to scrap the EDSA Revolution commemorations altogether.

“It’s a waste of time, resources, of media coverage and social media commentary,” Padilla said.

Well, 37 years is a long time. EDSA 1986 has had its time. Enough!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines has just earned another entry in the Guinness Book of World Records with the appointment of Juan Ponce Enrile as Bongbong Marcos’ Presidential Legal Adviser.

Enrile, as then Defense Secretary, helped oust Bongbong’s father, Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. during the People’s Power Revolution.

But that’s not what the world record is all about.

Enrile, 98, would be the world’s oldest living politician. Two years into the Marcos administration, Enrile would be a Centenarian, a record that would be very hard to beat.

This record, of course, is subject to fact checking by Rappler and Vera Files.
