MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler, the website claiming to be legitimate news media, is reporting that the word “migrate” has been the top search word among Filipinos disappointed at the May 13 midterm elections in the Philippines.

In the Senatorial race alone, none of the Opposition slate Otso Diretso made it to the winning ‘Magic 12,” according to both official and unofficial partial results.

The Adobo Chronicles made the rounds of foreign embassies in Metro Manila and found long lines of Filipinos trying to obtain immigrant visas to the U.S., Canada, Australia and other countries.

It seems that the mass migration by Yellows is for real.

Unofficial tally all but points to a zero win for the Opposition Senatorial candidates (Otso Diretso).

In the meantime, Philippine Foreign Secretary Teddy Boy Locsin promised that the DFA and the Department of Labor and Employment will help facilitate the migration of Filipinos disappointed by the election results:
