Duterte Not Only A Murderer But Also A Thief, Says The Opposition

Leave a comment

A21B5FDE-5BB1-4E43-A3DE-977AD63D2B09MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The political opposition has long accused Rodrigo Duterte of being a ‘murderer’ because of what they claim to be extrajudicial killings linked to the President’s war on drugs.

Now, the opposition has a new label for Duterte.  They’re calling him a thief.

The new accusation from the opposition came just hours after Duterte was quoted saying that he’d rob the banks in order to bring home Filipinos in Kuwait who are victims of employer abuse.

My, my, my. The opposition needs to work on their sense of humor which apparently is non-existent.

2D49464D-361F-4851-8C56-8993F3A60608QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Philippines’ Vice President Leni Robredo has asked Mark Zuckerberg to terminate Facebook’s partnership with Vera Files to fact-check news and information on social media.

Robredo’s demand comes just hours after Vera Files fact-checked Robredo’s claim in a recent speech at the London School of Economics that some provinces have consistently made it to the Top 10 list of the poorest in the country.

Vera Files tagged the VP’s statement as ‘False.’

That angered Robredo who said that Vera Files should lay off its hands from the Office of the Vice President and should just focus on bloggers and  DDS (Duterte Die-hard Supporters) socmed warriors.

’Vera Files has no right to embarrass the Office of the Vice President,’ Robredo spokesperson Georgina Hernandez told The Adobo Chronicles. ‘Besides, it’s very disrespecetful to the VP,’ she added.
