MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Commission on Elections (Comelec) Spokesperson James Jimenez told The Adobo Chronicles today that the recently-announced Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) the poll body inked with Rappler was a classic case of a typo.
Jimenez was referring to a partnership between Comelec and Rappler under which the latter would help in voter engagement and fighting disinformation in connection with the May 9 Philippine national elections.
Many were very critical of the partnership because Rappler is known for its bias against the Duterte government as well as Bongbong Marcos who is running for President. No less than Solicitor General Jose Calida said that the government intends to file a case against Comelec unless the MOA is rescinded by March 4.
Jimenez said that Comelec erred in that it falsely identified its partner as Rappler when it should have been Russia.
This news report from the Philippine Star explains it all.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It seems that Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo just made a big fuss over standing in heels for three hours during the debate sponsored by CNN Philippines.
Robredo was seen leaving the University of Santo Tomas debate venue, going barefoot and carrying her high-heeled shoes. Her campaign wanted to get the people’s sympathy for the ordeal she went through just to show up at the forum attended by all presidential candidates except Bongbong Marcos.
But a leaked photo of Robredo during one of several commercial breaks showed her sitting comfortably in a chair provided by CNN, wearing flipflops —truly a rare footage that wasn’t seen by the television audience!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Dilawans, Pinklawans and other political opposition groups are calling on their kakampinks to cancel (boycott) television personality Korina Sanchez for interviewing presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos.
It was revealed that the reason Marcos declined to participate in today’s Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP)’s presidential candidate forum was because he had to fulfill a previous commitment to appear in Sanchez’s show.
Sanchez is the wife of former presidential aspirant Mar Roxas, the opposition’s bet for president in 2016. Roxas’s vice presidential running mate was Leni Robredo who many believe won the election due to some smart magic.
Pinklawans called Sanchez a traitor to their cause.
Sources tell us that in the taped interview, Marcos joined Sanchez in the kitchen to cook — what else — adobo!
