MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – He is considered Rodrigo Duterte’s fiercest critics and has gone as far as the International Criminal Court to file a complaint versus the Philippine President for crimes against humanity.
Now, former Senator Antonio Trillanes has turned DDS, a die-hard Duterte supporter.
What brought about the political wind change is unclear but Trillanes himself admitted it in a post on his Twitter account on Sunday.
Is he planning to run for President in 2022 and is hoping to get Duterte’s endorsement and blessing? Or did he just have a “coming to Jesus” moment and suddenly realized all the accusations he has hurled against the popular leader were nothing but illusions? Calls by The Adobo Chronicles to Trillanes were unanswered as of press time.
NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – What do Greta Thunberg, Beyoncé, Jacinda Ardern, Kamala Harris, Meghan Markle and Arian Grande have in common? They are all among the women nominees this year’s Time magazine “Person of the Year.”
Online polling is ongoing with the name of the winner to be announced on December 10.
Apparently missing from the list is Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo, the erstwhile leader of the country’s political opposition who has been in the headlines in recent months, issuing statements and going on Facebook Live with her tirades against President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration.
Many Filipino netizens were seriously disappointed that Robredo didn’t make the cut. They were unanimous in saying that the Vice President should have been included as the other woman of the year.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is known as a master strategist. He manages to always take the upper hand when negotiating with world leaders.
Today, Duterte sent a message to President-elect Joe Biden, proposing to permanently reinstate the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) which allows America to maintain a military presence in the Philippines, under one condition.
The condition? That the incoming Biden administration institute a new immigration policy that would grant Filipino citizens a visa-free entry to the United States.. Duterte calls it the Visiting Filipinos Agreement.
