Well, Davila is quite pleased we haven’t criticized her for a long time.

In New York, ‘Journalist’ Raissa Robles Admits She Shares Not Only Information But Also Gossip

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) –  It was billed as a book tour to promote her stale book titled ‘Marcos Martial Law: Never Again.’ But Raissa Robles focused on  criticizing Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and his supporters in talks she held in the U.S. West and East Coasts before audiences that couldn’t even hit 30.

Risa Hontiveros Calls For Senate Hearing On Missing PhilHealth Funds

Risa Hontiveros is one Senator who basks in the pleasure of Senate hearings, whether it’s about ‘fake news,” illegal drugs or whatever.

So today, she called for a Senate hearing on the alleged missing PhilHealth Funds amounting to P1.7 billion, during the time that she was connected with the health insurance agency.

For starters, she had summoned herself to be one of the resource persons for the hearing.
