Leave a comment

NEW CASTLE, Delaware (The Adobo Chronicles, Delaware Bureau) – Touching wires in tramways is a no-no, as it could cause electrocution. Nothing could be more clear than the huge notice put up by the Newcastle Tramway Authority.

The NTA warns the riding public that touching wires could cause instant death. It goes further to say that violators will be fined $200.

Well, a man ignored the sign, touched the wires and was instantly electrocuted and killed. So who pays the fine now?

The NTA has filed a lawsuit demanding that the $200 plus daily interest be paid by the next of kin of the decreased man.

Moral of the story: The law haunts you even after death.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The big news this week is the designation of Vice President Sara Duterte as Co-Vice Chair of the NTF-Elcac, the anti-communist insurgency task force of the Philippine government.

But wait, Marcos has just appointed ex-Vice President Leni Robredo as the 3rd co-Vice Chair of the task force.

Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles that “let bygones be bygones,” adding that she is confident she will do well as an appointee to this important agency.

It will be recalled that during the Rodrigo Duterte administration, Robredo was appointed, then fired, twice. First as Housing Secretary, then as “Drug Czar.”

But appointments are lovelier, the third time around!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Following the denial by the Sandiganbayan of a motion by Imelda Marcos and Irene Marcos-Araneta to reacquire some two dozen properties and assets earlier deemed as illegally acquired, Maria Ressa, Raissa Robles and the women’s group Gabriela filed a motion for reconsideration in favor of the Marcoses.

In their joint urgent motion, the petitioners said they were supporting the Marcoses on this case.

In an Adobo Chronicles interview with Ressa, the Nobel lauriat and convicted CEO of Rappler, she said that the denial all but invalidates what she and other opposition groups claim regarding the death of Democracy and Justice in the Philippines.

“We ask the Court to reverse its decision so that we can continue our narrative that Democracy and Justice are dead in the Philippines, and that the Marcoses continue to have illegal influence and power in the country.

Robles and Gabriela seconded Ressa’s motion.
