MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Leni Robredo fanatics and supportive netizens are standing by their mother figure, using every opportunity to give praise to their “Ina ng Bayan” (Mother of the Nation). This despite her devastating loss to Bongbong Marcos in the last Philippine presidential elections.
These kakampinks (Robredo supporters) have described the ex-Vice President as a “one-time unique phenomenon in the universe” and that there is no one like her.
The world’s top dictionaries for word synonyms wholeheartedly agree with the accolade given to Robredo.
Both word resources list synonyms of “phenomenon,” not the least of which are “anomaly” and “abnormality.”
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – When the Department of Social Welfare and Development distributes relief good to Filipinos affected by calamities, the normal procedure is to do it through Local Government Units (LGUs). It is part of DSWD’s policy to not allow national politicians to interfere much less, take credit for the department’s relief distribution.
Well, Senator Risa Hontiveros has crossed the line.
She took it upon herself to personally distribute DSWD relief boxes to those affected by the recent super typhoon Egay.
DSWD said it is investigating how Hontiveros has laid her hands on the relief boxes and promised the Filipino people that heads will roll once it is determined who in the department authorized the unauthorized relief goods distribution by Hontiveros.
Meanwhile, DSWD issued a “cease and desist” order to Hontiveros so she would not repeat her illegal activity obviously aimed at rebuilding her sagging trust and popularity among the Filipinos.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau ) – Senator Cynthia Villar, Chair of the Senate Committee on Food, Agriculture and Agrarian Reform today said this would be a good time for the Philippines to push for its exports of mangoes and bananas.
The real estate mogul and businesswoman made this statement after she learned that Apple has recorded a decline in sales three years in a row now.
She told The Adobo Chronicles she will immediately file a Senate bill that will provide more financial incentives to mango and banana producers and exporters. “My bill could greatly contribute to the continued decline in the country’s inflation rate,” she said.
Asked if she would be willing to convert some of her family real-estate properties into mango and banana-producing agri lands, the senator said, “No comment.”
