DONALD TRUMP’S (SECOND) DEVASTATING LOSS TO JOE BIDEN (AND KAMALA HARRIS)

Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Losing to Joe Biden in last November’s presidential elections was devastating to Donald Trump. Losing a second time to Joe Biden AND Kamala Harris was crushing!

Sources close to The White House’s West Wing told The Adobo Chronicles that the President has locked himself all day today in the Oval Office, refusing to talk to anyone, and shouted at a White House aide who knocked on his door to serve him some diet Coke and French fries. “Go away,” he reportedly told the aide.

Trump’s erratic behavior began soon after TIME magazine announced its pick for this year’s “Person of the Year.” Shortly before the announcement, TIME released its shortlist for this year’s award: Trump, Biden, “frontline health care workers and Dr. Anthony Fauci” and the “movement for racial justice.” Our sources said the President was 100% confident he would win the title.

Analysts say that the biggest blow to Trump was not just losing to Biden a second time, but that he also lost to Harris, a Vice Presidential candidate, a woman and a person of color.

Trump now owes Americans not one, but two concessions.

Stay tuned! This really makes for a good Reality TV show!

HARRY ROQUE CALLS LENI ROBREDO A “PIG”

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque is not one who would mince his words when responding to criticism and statements from Rodrigo Duterte’s critics, including the Vice President.

Reacting to a recent statement from Leni Robredo that she would volunteer to be among the first to receive the Covid-19 vaccine once it’s available, Roque said that the VP was a bit too late because Duterte had already volunteered first.

He then proceeded to call Robredo a “pig.”

A “guinea pig,” that is.

ADOBO CHRONICLES ‘OTHER WOMAN OF THE YEAR’ : leni robredo

Leave a comment

SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – It’s that time of year when The Adobo Chronicles picks its “Woman of the Year” to recognize that one person who has had the most impact on local and international news headlines and developments.

Our choice was easy. Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo has had an unprecedented presence in the news headlines this year, thanks to her well-oiled press and social media machinery, spouting criticism on almost anything and everything about the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte. She did it in such bilingual audacity, making her sameness with both the masses and the social elite a true cosmetic wonder.

But because she is not the first Filipino woman to be given a similar honor, we chose to name her something that would be exclusive to her: “The Other Woman of the Year.”

In 1986, former President Corazon Aquino became the first Filipino to become TIME’s Person of the Year. In 2018, Maria Ressa was included in Time’s Person of the Year 2018, as one of “The Guardians”, a number of journalists from around the world combating the “War on Truth”. 

We congratulate La Leni, our 2020 Other Woman of the Year!
