TUL-4: A New Philippine Political Dynasty Rises!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For decades, Philippine lawmakers have tried, but failed, to come up with an anti-political dynasty law.

As a result, more and more families are cementing their hold on politics.

TUL-4 is the latest dynasty to emerge, with the swearing in of ex-DSDWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo as House (Partylist) Representative.

Erwin becomes the fourth Tulfo in the legislative branch: brother Raffy is senator, sister-in-law Jocelyn (wife of Raffy) is ACT-CIS representative, and nephew Ralph is a lawmaker representing Quezon City’s 2nd District.

Four Tulfos equals TUL-4!

Tulfo entered the House as a substitute nominee of party-list group ACT-CIS, replacing original third nominee Jeffrey Soriano who  resigned from the chamber last February.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Is political unity finally coming to the Philippines?

In an unprecedented show of unity, Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros has thrown her full support for the plan of President Bongbong Marcos to acquire the first ever submarine for the Philippines.

“This is one initiative that I and the Yellowtards can rally behind. It sets political color aside for the good of the country’s security and sovereignty,” Hontiveros said.

However, The Adobo Chronicles has learned that Hontiveros may have misread Mr. Marcos’ proposal. She thought the President was planning to acquire a yellow submarine.
