Robredo with spokesperson Georgina Hernandez

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There is no denying that Leni Robredo is a breath away from becoming President.  She herself said in the past that the only role a Vice President has is to “wait for something to happen to the President.”

The Adobo Chronicles sat down with Robredo and asked her what she would do as President if faced with the very issues that Duterte is now facing.

Here’s the full transcript of our interview:

AC: What would be your first official act as President?

Robredo: I will immediately transfer the seat of government from Manila to Camarines Sur. Duterte has Davao as the Malacañang of the South.  There is no reason I can’t make Naga City the Malacañang of the Central Philippines.

AC: President Duterte often uses commercial flights between Manila and Davao.  Are you going to do the same?

Robredo: No, of course not.  I will take the bus.

AC: You have been the ‘victim’ of fake news.  As President, what will do you to curb the spread of fake news?

Robredo:  I will give purveyors of fake news a dose of their own medicine.  I will be the No. 1 source of fake news and will let Rappler, Inquirer and ABS-CBN run the PCOO as well as the Office of the Presidential Spokesperson.

AC: What will be the fate of Leila De Lima, Andy Bautista, NoyNoy Aquino, the Prieto Family and Lourdes Sereno under a Robredo Administration?

Robredo: They will all receive Presidential Pardon.

AC: The NoyNoy Administration’s mantra was “Tuwid na Daan.” What would be yours?

Robredo: Walang nang daan daan.

AC:  Kuwait has expelled the Philippines’ Ambassador amid the growing controversy on the treatment of Filipino maids in this Middle East country.  If you were President now, what would you do?

Robredo: Georgeeeeeeena!

Senator Leila De Lima’s Naming To Fortunate Magazine’s Top World Leaders Turns Out To Be An April Fool’s Joke!

50D3CAE9-6268-4455-AE7C-EF17B2CEDDF4.jpegNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – After all, that brouhaha regarding Philippine Leila De Lima being named among the Top 50 World Leaders by Fortune Magazine is just, well, a bruhaha (translation: witchity joke).

Many Filipinos have criticized the inclusion of the lady Senator in its 2018 list despite her being charged with a drug crime, violations of law during her various tenures in government service, and other destabilization efforts against the Administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Well, it turns out the May, 2018 issue of Fortune was actually printed on April 1, 2018 (see photo), leading people to believe that the whole thing was a hoad — an April Fool’s joke.

It is turly, unFORTUNE-ate.

As North And South Korea Prepare To End Their War, Yellows In the Philippines Prepare To Concede To Dutertards

CA440BB1-5084-4E88-92C0-6B7814E8299EMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – All we are saying is give peace a chance.  And that’s exactly what’s brewing between North and South Korea as the divided nation prepares to end a decades-long war.

Not too far away from Korea, the Philippines is similarly headed towards national unification.

If things go as planned, there will be no more Yellows and no more Dutertards, just Filipinos.

The remnants of the Yellow army, represented by a few members of the political opposition and biased media trying to hang on to long-lost power and influence, are now in talks with the Duterte government and its overwhelming number of supporters.

Realizing that theirs is a lost cause, the Yellows have expressed willingness to go into oblivion and let politics and history take their course, marked by overwhelming satisfaction with how President Duterte is running the country.

Sa ikauunlad ng bayan,  magtatago na lang ang mga Dilawan. (For the nation’s progress, the Yellows will now retreat, permanently)
