MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippines’ Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II is “seriously considering” the transfer of two high-profile drug lords at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) to a prison island. But  Senator Leila de Lima, former President NoyNoy Aquino and former Interior Secretary and presidential candidate Mar Roxas are all opposed to the move.

Aguirre, of course, is referring to convicted drug lords Peter Co and Herbert Colangco who were among the top tier drug lords named by President Rodrigo Duterte.

Colangco, in particular, is known to have his own music recording studio in his prison cell at NBP.

De Lima, Aquino and Roxas told The Adobo Chronicles that transferring the  NBP inmates — especially Colangco  — would deprive them of a convenient rehearsal and hangout venue for their  passion for karaoke singing.

Unconfirmed reports say that the three former officials have used Colango’s NLB recording studio many times in the past for private karaoke sessions.  They are appealing to Aguirre to reconsider his decision.

BEIJING, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After initially proclaiming that it will not recognize the recent ruling by the Permanent Arbitration Court which favored the Philippines’ territorial claim over disputed islands in the West Philippine Sea, China says it is now willing to sit down at the negotiation table with the Philippines.

In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, China’s foreign minister said that in the spirit of peace and stability in the region, and in the interest of neighborly love, his country is now willing the reduce its nine-dash line to a four-dash line that would give the Philippines full access and jurisdiction over some of the disputed islands.

When asked for comment, Philippine Secretary of Foreign Affairs Perfecto Yasay, Jr. said that he will need to closely study the Chinese proposal and make appropriate recommendations to his boss, President Rod Duterte.

Earlier, Yasay was criticized by the media and netizens for “looking gloomy” during a press conference immediately following the announcement of the arbitration court’s ruling.

imageWASILLA, Alaska (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today broke her silence over the BlackLivesMatter protests that led to the killing of five police officers in Dallas, Texas this week.

Taking to her Facebook page, Palin says the Black Lives Matter movement is a “farce” and said Americans who hyphenate their racial backgrounds — such as African-Americans and Asian-Americans — “further divide our nation.”

The former vice presidential candidate urged computer manfacturers in the U.S. to eliminate the hyphen from all keyboards as way to unite the country. “If there are no hyphens, then we won’t be seeing any racial divides,” she noted.
