Senator-elect Risa Hontiveros to Propose Color-coding of National ID!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Risa Hontiveros, the lone opposition candidate to make it to the magic 12 in the 2022 senatorial elections wants to color-code the national ID.

The reelectionist senator told The Adobo Chroniclers that one of her priority bills in the incoming Senate would to be propose to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) to use appropriate ID colors to reflect the political orientation of the ID holder.

For example, she says, Filipinos who support the opposition, should have the background color of their IDs to be pink while those who identify themselves with the UniTeam should have their IDs colored red. Filipinos who decline to state their political affiliation should have their IDs colored white, Hontiveros said.

As of press time, the PSA has not responded to our calls for comment.

Taylor Swift Disappoints Leni Robredo!

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Leni Robredo had high hopes that when she entered the stadium to witness the graduation of her daughter Jillian from New York University, she would receive a standing ovation. After all, she is the Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines.

She had also hoped that guest speaker American singer Taylor Swift would mention her in her speech and acknowledge her presence.

Alas, none of that happened.

Worse, at the conclusion of her commencement address, Swift flashed not the ”L” sign but the ”V” sign, indicating her support of Robredo’s opponent in the 2022 Philippine presidential election, Bongbong Marcos.

Indeed, it was a missed opportunity for what could have been another great photo for Robredo and her three daughters who are all girls.

Marcos DQ Case Inadvertently Delivered To Supreme Court!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A DQ case ordered by presumptive President Bongbong Marcos was inadvertently delivered to the Supreme Court on Padre Faura in Manila.

The case, consisting of assorted packs of DQ cookies, chocolate bars and ice cream, was sent to the high court offices instead of to Marcos’ residence.

The DQ goods were supposed to be enjoyed by the household staff of the Marcoses in celebration of Vinny’s (Bongbong’s son) birthday last May 17.

It wasn’t clear what the high court plans to do about the mis-delivered goods, especially as the Marcos family is currently in Melbourne, Australia celebrating Vinny’s birthday and taking a respite from the hectic electoral campaign over the last six months.
