LONDON, The United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, London Bureau) – Wherever Philippine President Bongbong Marcos goes, ex-Vice President Leni Robredo goes! And she does it in full regalia: as her favorite cosplay character, the Samurai warrior(ess).
In Washington, D.C., Robredo led U.S. President Joe Biden in his ceremonial welcome for Marcos at The White House.
Her next stop: London — during the coronation of Prince Charles and Queen Consort Camilla.
Who needs to be Philippine President when she can hob-nob with the world’s leading heads of state, in close proximity.
Is Vladimir Putin and Russia next on Robredo’s itinerary?
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – You can’t be protesting against someone with happy faces. It doesn’t make sense. The anger must show. Unless, of course, it is meant to be a fun photo op or groupie.
A very small group of (supposedly) Filipino Americans posed for a photo in front of some unknown warehouse in Massachusetts the other day, protesting the state visit of Philippine President Bongbong Marcos. Their banner read: “Marcos is not welcome here!” (meaning in America).
But the photo showed happy faces. Did they really mean what their banner was trying to convey?
So we asked our resident designer to do a photo erratum on our behalf and on behalf of the protesters!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Maria Ressa’s Rappler is finally throwing in the towel. After years of contesting its media license revocation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the online news blog has withdrawn its media in exchange for an NGO status.
Rappler has applied as a political advocacy organization and it is wasting no time in proving its worth as such.
In just the last few days, Rappler has advocated for the release of ex-Philippine Senator Leila de Lima and Hong Kong’s Jimmy Lai.
Ironically, Rappler has been silent on worldwide cries to release WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who is about to be extradited to the United States to face charges of leaking confidential, top secret information.
Understandable because Assange was the greatest threat to Ressa’s undeserved Nobel Peace Prize.
