Imee Marcos To Quit Senate To Become A Full-time Movie Actress!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Acting has always been a passion for Imee Marcos. Her political career was almost second fiddle to her desire to be on the big screen.

But she’s had it with politics. She’s quitting and is joining film director Darryl Yap’s cinematic group to become its prime actress.

For starters, Marcos will play herself in the upcoming 3rd installment of Yap’s Marcos/Martial Law films, titled “Mabuhay, Aloha, Mabuhay” which opens on September 21, the anniversary of the proclamation of the the Marcos Martial Law.

Politics’ loss is Cinema’s gain. We need good actors on screen, not in politics.

Thousands Of Dilawans Rally For Justice For Ninoy Aquino!

Leave a comment

EDSA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, EDSA Bureau) – EDSA once more became the center of opposition when thousands of Dilawan (Yellows) — those who support the Aquinos — rallied to demand justice for their slain hero, Ninoy Aquino.

But this protest was no like any other. The Dilawans were protesting against the Aquinos and their allies.

The mass gathering deplored the fact that justice has not been achieved in the assassination of Ninoy. “Nothing was done by three past administrations to finally resolve the late senator’s martyrdom,” the rallyists told The Adobo Chronicles.

“They had three administrations — of 18 years total — to resolve the crime, citing 6 years of Cory Aquino, 6 years of Fidel Ramos (who lead in the People Power uprising), and Noynoy Aquino,” they added.

The protest came just two days before the anniversary of the assassination of Ninoy Aquino (August 21) which has been declared a working holiday in the Philippines.

AYUNGIN SHOAL, South China Sea (The Adobo Chronicles, Aquatic Bureau) – While former President Rodrigo Duterte’s plan to jet-ski to the South China Sea remained just that — a plan, Senator Manny Pacquiao has actually walked his talk.

Pacquiao not only jet-skied to the disputed territory — he actually stayed overnight at BRP Sierra Madre, the Philippine Coast Guard ship now anchored at Ayungin Shoal.

The Adobo Chronicles’ senior geopolitics correspondent Brian Neyra snapped a photo of a shirtless Pacquiao peeking from one of the ship’s dilapidated windows.

The senator told AC that it is his way of showing his patriotism and his full support for the Philippines’ claim on disputed territory with China.

You go, Manny!
