Leave a comment

CAMP CRAME, Quezon City (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) –  There has been a lot of speculation about the so-called “list” that Leila de Lima has prepared to submit to the U.S. State Department which is in charge of identifying Filipinos who shall be banned from entering the U.S. for their role in the “wrongful detention” of the lady Senator.

The “ban” is supposedly included in the 2020 Appropriations Measures that President Donald Trump recently signed.

The Adobo Chronicles was able to obtain a leaked copy of De Lima’s list and we’re sharing this  with our readers.

Senator Leila De Lima Adds Ex-Driver/Bodyguard Dayan To Her ‘List’

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines(The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Senator Leila de Lima is reportedly drawing up a “more comprehensive” and “more detailed” list of Philippine officials and personalities she believes are responsible for her arrest and detention, her chief of staff and lawyer said Thursday.

The Senator is hoping her list would be the basis for the U.S. State Department in determining which Philippine officials and personalities would be banned from entering the U.S. because of their role in her incarceration.

Today, De Lima told The Adobo Chronicles (AC) she has included her former driver-bodyguard Ronnie Dayan on her list.

The Senator had previously admitted  that she had a relationship with Dayan, citing “frailties of a woman.”

De Lima told AC that Dayan’s testimony during Congressional hearings contributed to the building of the case against her.

We’re sorry for Dayan. He may never see and experience the Land of the free, and the home of the brave.

Unless, of course, he’ll manage to resolve what appears to be an “LQ” with the Senator.

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Millions of fans of Jollibee’s 1/3 pounder burger expressed deep disappointment upon hearing the news that the popular fastfood chain had discontinued this menu item popularly known as “Champ.”

American competitor McDonald’s celebrated the news with free champagne in all of its Philippine outlets.  Jollibee’s 1/3 pounder all but put McDonald’s quarter pounder to shame.  So now, the American fast food chain can lord it over when it comes to  giant burgers.

But wait. Today, Jollibee announced that it was launching a new menu item that’s bigger, heavier, tastier,  juicier and unprecedented in the burger industry — the one-pounder!

For that one-pounder experience, visit a Jollibee near you.
