MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Just hours after ‘Russian President Vladimir Putin declared martial law in four occupied regions of Uklraine,’ self-proclaimed investigative writer Raissa Robles released her new book, a sequel to “Marcos Martial Law: Never Again.”

Lamenting the failure of her first book and advocacy against the return of the Marcoses to Malacañang, Robles told The Adobo Chronicles that she has high hopes this new book on Putin will be more successful, considering the world-wide influence of the Russian leader.

Robles added that the soft launch of the new book will be followed by a book signing tour throughout Russia and Ukraine.

Raissa Robles Releases New Book Cover On Marcoses!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Just days after her one and only book, ”Marcos Martial Law: Never Again” became irrelevant after Bongbong Marcos won the May 9, 2022 Philippine presidential elections, self-proclaimed investigative journalist Raissa Robles released a new cover.

The new cover features a caricature of the Marcos family in Malacañang, a film graphic from Director Darryl Yap’s ”Maid in Malacañang.” The film tells of the last days of the Marcoses prior to being ousted through the People Power Revolution — from the point of view of the Malacañang household staff.

Only the cover and title have changed (“Again”) , a desperate strategy by Robles to sell the remaining unsold, dusty copies of her book.

It’s the proverbial ”Don’t judge a book by its cover,” or shall we say ”A wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Congratulations, Raissa Robles!

National Marcos, Martial Law Book Burning Set!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler, the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines whose CEO Maria Ressa is a convicted criminal, is reporting that books about the late great President Ferdinand E. Marcos and his Martial Law regime are flying off the shelves, describing it as ”panic buying.”

The Adobo Chronicles’ investigative journalists stationed themselves at major bookstores around the country to verify this ”phenomenon” reported by Rappler.

We found out that there is, indeed, a panic-buying mode among many Filipinos but it wasn’t about the thirst for knowledge about Marcos and Martial Law.

We have learned that a ”National Marcos and Martial Law Book Burning” activity has been scheduled in various parts of the country. come June 30th, the day of inauguration for the new administration.

The aim of this activity is to forever erase the false narratives and historical revisionism on the greatest Philippine president the country has ever had which flourished for three decades in the post-Marcos era.

What a great new start for Marcos’ son, Bongbong, who is to become the 17th President of the Philippines!
