Senator Risa Hontiveros: I Am Not Abetting Rebellion

IMG_2102MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Risa Hontiveros today angrily responded to Davao City Mayor Sarah Duterte’s accusation that the senator is “abetting rebellion.”

Duterte’s comments were in reaction to a recent television interview during which Hontiveros said that the Maute terrorist siege on Marawi City does not constitute rebellion or invasion and could therefore not justify the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao.

In a statement issued to the Yellow press, Hontiveros categorically denied that she was abetting rebellion.

“I don’t gamble, and I do not bet at all,” she said.

ERRATUM: 17, Not 16 Filipinos Oppose Martial Law Declaration In Mindanao

IMG_1803MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Yesterday, The Adobo Chronicles reported on a national survey which showed that “16 out of 100 million Filipinos opposed President Rodrigo Duterte’s declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao.

We were wrong, and we sincerely apologize.

There are actually 17, not 16 Filipinos, who are opposed to the Mindanao Martial Law.

We inadevertently forgot to count Senator Bam Aquino among the survey respondents who expressed disapproval of Martial Law in Mindanao.

Apparently, during our tabulation, our vision was impaired because of the bright yellow t-shirt worn by the senator.  It was too glaring for our tabulators.

Again, our apologies.

Japan Donates Military Equipment To Help Philippines Crush Maute Terrorists

IMG_1766.PNGTOKYO, Japan (The Adobo Chronicles, Tokyo Bureau) – Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has cancelled a planned visit to Japan next month to focus on the situation in Marawi City where the terrorist group Maute has launched a siege, prompting the proclamation of Martial Law in Mindanao.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe perfectly understands Duterte’s change of plans and has, in fact, pledged to donate sophisticated military equipment to the Philippines to help crush the rebel terrorists.

The donated equipment consists of two giant robots capable of decimating the terrorists.

The remote-controlled robots are said to be three times more effective that the used and dilapidated tanks and helicopters previously donated to the Philippines by the United States.
