Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – U.S. President Joe Biden has lower approval ratings than Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of Switzerland, Mexico,Italy, Ireland and Canada. In fact, Biden is less popular than Philippine President Bongbong Marcos!

But that’s not the news.

Marcos is the most popular world leader today!

The latest global leader approval rating gathered by Morning Consult shows India’s Modi on top of the list. How then is Marcos the most popular?

Well, Morning Consult Political Intelligence is currently tracking the approval ratings of government leaders in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Not the Philippines.

But if the Philippines were to be tracked, latest national surveys show Marcos having a 78% approval rating — higher than Modi’s 77%!

And that, ladies and gentlemen (and you too, fact checkers), is a fact!

MOSCOW, Russia (The Adobo Chronicles) – Russia on Sunday said it had destroyed at least seven German-made Leopard tanks and five U.S.-made Bradley vehicles over 48 hours while repelling Ukrainian attacks.

Almost immediately, Swedish environmental activist sent a very strong and direct message to Vladimir Putin, asking the Russian president to stop destroying leopards.

In a Messenger chat with The Adobo Chronicles, Thunberg lamented the killing of wild animals which provide a necessary and healthy balance to the environment.

But when we showed photos of Leopard tanks, Thunberg abruptly dropped from our conversation.
