Adobo Chronicles Survey: 16 Out Of 100 Million Filipinos Oppose Duterte’s Declaration Of Martial Law In Mindanao

IMG_1761.PNGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It is the first survey ever conducted since President Rodrigo Duterte declared Martial Law in Mindanao.  It is also the first survey that included 100 Million respondents — that’s almost the entire population of the Philippines.

The single-question survey asked if respondents supported or opposed the Martial Law proclamation.

The results, with a plus or minus 3% margin of error, showed that 16 out of 100 Million Filipinos oppose Martial Law in Mindanao.  Not 16 million.  Sixteen Filipinos.

The 16 self-identified non-supporters of the Mindanao declaration are pictured above.

One other survey respondent opposed Duterte’s declaration, but her response was invalidated because she’s a psychopath:

CHR’s Chito Gascon Wants Maute Group’s Human Rights Protected

IMG_1735MARAWI CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao Bureau) – In his most direct response yet to the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao, Philippine Commission on Human Rights’ Commissioner Chito Gascon has this to say to President Rodrigo Duterte: respect and uphold the human rights of the terrorist group, Maute.

In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Gascon said that “there is a reason we call it ‘human rights;’ every human being has a right.”

Asked what he would recommend to Duterte to protect the Maute group’s human rights, Gascon said:

“First, the Philippine military should determine the number of Maute group members now operating in Marawi City, then match it with the same, equal number of government soldiers engaged in fighting the rebels.  It is unfair that there are more troops than the rebels.”

“Second, the government troops must not use bombs or other sophisticated military equipment because it puts the rebels at a great disadvantage.”

So there you have it.  Filipinos can truly rely on the Commission on Human Rights to look after everyone’s welfare — rebels or not.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The news media have been focusing on China’s supposed threat to go to war with the Philippines should the latter pursue its claim over disputed territory in the South China Sea.

By sheer number, the Philippines is no match to China’s military power.  China has seven times the number of Filipino military personnel, not to mention the Chinese great advantage in as far as equipment like tanks, fighter aircraft, warships and submarines are concerned.

But Filipinos have an advantage over China 🇨🇳 when it comes to keyboard warriors.

IMG_1544It is estimated that almost half of the Philippine population is on Facebook, not to mention other social media accounts.

Here’s how Filipinos can avert a possible war with China:

  • Each of the 50 million or so Filipino Facebook account holders should send a minimum of 26 friend requests to the Chinese.  That would amount to a total of 1.3 Billion (the estimated population of China) Chinese friends.
  • If China decides to go to war with the Philippines, no Chinese would support it, not even its military since they all would have Facebook friends in the Philippines 🇵🇭.

Problem solved.

Long live the Filipino keyboard 🎹  warriors! Long live world peace!
