The live interview will feature:

Ousted Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno

About-to-be-ousted Vice President Maria Leonor (Leni) Robredo

Disgraced Opposition Congressman Maria Gary Alejano

Desgraciada television host Maria Kris Aquino

Displaced Rappler CEO Maria Ressa

If there will be enough time during the marathon broadcast, Sackur may also interview Maria Juana Change, Maria Agot Isidro and Maria Raissa Robles.

Ginoong Maria! (Hail Mary!) Grab your popcorn.  It’s going to be a tsunami of a live broadcast from London!

 

Blogger Raissa Robles Apologizes To The Marcoses For Her Book ‘Never Again’

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After all, people are willing to give peace a chance.

Today, Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Bong Go apologized to Kris Aquino for PCOO Asec Mocha Uson’s post on Aquino’s dad, showing a video of two women kissing the Senator.  It was Uson’s way of getting back at President Duterte’s critics who condemned him kissing a married Filipina in South Korea.

Not to be outdone, blogger Raissa Robles apologized to the Marcos family for her book, ‘Marcos Martial Law: Never Again.’

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius!

Mocha Uson Fires Back, Challenges Kris Aquino To Mud Wrestling

F1CAF7C9-93BF-499B-B7EA-B6C951B1AE0C.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The word war between Kris Aquino and Mocha Uson is not going away anytime soon.  In fact, it continues to escalate.

Aquino challenged Uson to a hairpulling fight — a re-enactment or a movie scene involving the latter.

It all started after Uson posted a video of Aquino’s father Ninoy, being kissed by two women.  It was her way of getting back at critics of President Rodrigo Duterte for that kissing incident in South Korea.

Well, not only did Uson accept the hair-pulling challenge.  She wants something more.  She said she is ready to face Aquino in a mudwrestling match at a time, date and venue of Aquino’s choosing.

”We can have it in Los Angeles, California, or we can have it at the Philippine Arena. Just let me know and I’ll be there,” Uson said.
