MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Millions of Filipinos were glued to their television sets yesterday watching the Senate hearing on the police killing of 17-year-old Kian delos Santos.
Amid the explosive privilege speeches and testimonies, TV viewers can’t help notice the free boxed lunch being passed around during the hearing.

DAGUPAN CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas announced that church bells would ring nightly for three months in his northern district to raise alarm over a sharp increase in police killings of drug suspects.
Villegas, former president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), said church bells would toll for 15 minutes nightly and last until Nov. 27 to rouse a citizenry “which has become a coward in expressing anger against evil.”
But Villegas told The Adobo Chronicles that he was misquoted by the Yellow news media.
“What I said was that the church bells will ring to raise alarm over the increasing incidents and revelations of sexual abuse by Catholic priests,” the archbishop said.
Eh, yun naman pala. Clarification accepted.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Senator Risa Hontiveros said on Sunday her office has kidnapped witnesses to the killing of 17-year-old Kian delos Santos during an alleged drug raid by Caloocan City policemen last week.
The Akbayan senator described Kian’s fate as “extrajudicial killing” despite the fact that investigation of the incident was still going on.
Hontiveros says she does not believe in the principle of “innocent until proven guilty.”
Asked by The Adobo Chronicles what her office plans to do to the kidnapped witnesses, she said she will conduct brainwashing sessions to make sure that their testimony will be consistent with her theory of extrajudicial killing.
