Raissa Robles Tries Her Hand At Weather Forecasting!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Self-proclaimed investigative journalist and frustrated book author Raissa Robles is embarking on a totally different career.

Realizing she has now become irrelevant in journalism and literature — what with the landslide victory of her most dreaded politician, a Marcos — she announced she is trying her hand at weather forecasting.

In her initial attempt to take on the new role, Robles tweeted about the significance of the weather in Manila coinciding with the inauguration of Vice President-elect Sara Duterte in Davao City which had some gorgeous weather today.

But as they say, the weather man (or woman) is not always right.

Another Guinness World Record for the Philippines!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines has just earned another entry in the Guinness Book of World Records with the appointment of Juan Ponce Enrile as Bongbong Marcos’ Presidential Legal Adviser.

Enrile, as then Defense Secretary, helped oust Bongbong’s father, Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. during the People’s Power Revolution.

But that’s not what the world record is all about.

Enrile, 98, would be the world’s oldest living politician. Two years into the Marcos administration, Enrile would be a Centenarian, a record that would be very hard to beat.

This record, of course, is subject to fact checking by Rappler and Vera Files.

DQ For Rowena Guanzon As Partylist Representative!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Sometimes, a sinister plot can have positive results.

Today, it was announced that all five nominees of the P3PWD Partylist resigned, paving the way for ex-Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon to become the first nominee. If confirmed, Guanzon will take on the title of Congresswoman!

It will be recalled that as Comelec Commissioner, she voted to DQ (disqualify) then presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos from running in the 2022 elections. She was eventually overruled by the Comelec Division handling Marcos’ DQ case.

Now, it’s Guanzon’s turn to be DQ’d.

Eyewitnesses told The Adobo Chronicles that they saw her meeting with the 5 partylist nominees, presumably to pressure them to resign so that she can become the first nominee, and subsequently the Congress representative.

Yes, she was spotted at DQ, the ice cream shop Dairy Queen at Robinson’s Mall in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila!
