Today, PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY, we take a break from our satire to pay tribute to the heroes of Marawi City — members of the police and military who have sacrificed their lives to defend our Republic.
Our thoughts are also with those who continue to put their lives on the line so that peace will finally come to Marawi and the rest of Mindanao.
Mabuhay po kayo!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Risa Hontiveros today angrily responded to Davao City Mayor Sarah Duterte’s accusation that the senator is “abetting rebellion.”
Duterte’s comments were in reaction to a recent television interview during which Hontiveros said that the Maute terrorist siege on Marawi City does not constitute rebellion or invasion and could therefore not justify the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao.
In a statement issued to the Yellow press, Hontiveros categorically denied that she was abetting rebellion.
“I don’t gamble, and I do not bet at all,” she said.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She authored a book titled “Never Again,” about Martial Law in the Philippines during the time of the late Ferdinand E. Marcos.
She’s been critical about President Rodrigo Duterte’s declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao, following the Maute terrorist siege on Marawi City.
But she is very upset that Martial Law has not been declared in London, following a terror attack at London Bridge on Sunday, June 4. The London attack killed at least seven people as a van mowed down pedestrians on London Bridge before attackers then stabbed victims at nearby Borough Market.
In an emotional post on her Twitter account, she questioned why Martial Law has not been declared in London.
“She” is blogger (she’d rather be called ‘investigative journalist’) Raissa Robles. Martial Law expert.
Calling the attention of British Prime Minister Theresa May!
