MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Unlike incarcerated Senator Leila De Lima, Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo rejects the notion on the “frailties of a woman.”  In fact, Robredo says if she becomes President, she will stand up head to head with China in order to protect the country’s claim over territories in the South China Sea.

President Rodrigo Duterte has been quoted as saying the Philippines is no match to China  🇨🇳 in as far as military power is concerned.  He would rather deal with the dispute diplomatically rather than risk going to war with its giant nation neighbor.

Robredo disagrees.

The VP says that the Philippines 🇵🇭 has the necessary assets to wage a war, citing resources that can be utilized in challenging China.

“China may have more military personnel and firepower, but the Philippines is rich in supernatural power,” Robredo said.

Among the Philippine assets cited by Robredo: aswangs, tikbalangs, kapres, malignos, sangres and mulawins.

In addition, Robredo said that the Philippines keyboard warriors now number one million compared to China’s zero.

“We even have more than enough trolls to defeat China,” the VP said.

MANILA BAY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s been a week of great showcase.  China and the Philippines have simultaneously unveiled their domestically-built aircraft carriers, coming at a time when tensions continue to rise over the disputed territories in the South China Sea.

China’s first domestically built aircraft carrier slipped into the sea for the first time on Wednesday, after days of publicity celebrating the impending launch as a milestone in President Xi Jinping’s drive to extend China’s military reach far beyond its shores.

At about the exact time, the Philippine Navy christened its own locally-built aircraft carrier made of 100% indigenous materials.

In a statement accompanying the launch, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said that hopefully, the Philippine aircraft carrier will not have to be used since his approach with China has always been one of diplomacy and reality.

“We’re no match to China’s aircraft carrier, but we’re still proud that the Philippines is able to domestically build its military defenses against any nation that would trample on our sovereignty,” Dutere told The Adobo Chronicles.

Chechnya’s Army Plagued By Gay Men

GROSNY, Chechnya (The Adobo Chronicles, Moscow Bureau) – Amid reports that the government of Chechnya has established the first concentration camp since the Holocaust, reports indicate that its army ranks include hundreds of closeted gay men.

Chechnya’s modern-day concentration camp was designated for gay men. Homosexuality is outlawed in this independent country within the Russian Federation.

An investigative report conducted by The Adobo Chronicles revealed that almost one in ten soldiers in the Chechnyan army is gay. Secretly of course.

We had assumed that their motivation to join the army was to escape persecution. But to our surprise, most gay men we talked to said that they love wearing the army uniform, especially the fabulous headdress ( see photo).

Perhaps this is what we can call a modern-day gay plague, and it has hit the Chechnyan army.
