MANILA, Philipppines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rejecting a Philippine solon’s proposal to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to Ferdinand E. Marcos International Airport, President Bongbong Marcos issued his first Executive Order retaining the name NAIA.
The former Manila International Airport (MIA) will henceforth be known as Nora Aunor International Airport (NAIA), in honor of one of the country’s new national artists.
Congratulations, Ate Guy!
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau)- Outgoing Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo issued a very strong statement following the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturn of the landmark 1973 Federal abortion rights ruling, Roe vs. Wade.
In a statement issued by the Office of the Vice President, Robredo said:
“It is every woman’s right to row a boat and wade in the waters. These are inalienable rights. I applaud the U.S. Supreme Court decision and hope this puts a stop to possible similar laws or rulings in the Philippines. Mabuhay ang mga kababaihan!”

MANILA, Philippines ( The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – At noon on June 30, 2022, Ferdinand (Bongbong) Marcos, Jr., takes his oath as the 17th President of the Republic of the Philippines.
As we look back to the past six years under Rodrigo Duterte, his colorful foreign policy, marked with unique diplomacy comes to mind. It is a legacy that could define, or redefine the country’s standing with the world community.
Tagged by many as a departure from the Philippines’ long-standing attachment to Uncle Sam, Duterte opened the door for harmonious and beneficial relationships with its Asian neighbors and world powers that matter.
Today, the Philippines has earned multiple distinctions as a province of China, a Federated State of Russia and Prefecture of Japan.
Six years may be too short for a good President. Another two years in duterte’s term could have made the Philippines a Caste of India. Who knows?
