MANDALUYONG , Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Mandaluyong Bureau) – Rappler, the least-trusted news source in the Philippines whose CEO Maria Ressa is a convicted criminal, has convicted Deputy House Speaker Rodante Marcoleta!
The online news source convicted the just-withdrawn senatorial candidate for murder for his role in the non-renewal of franchise of the television network ABS-CBN. It says it all in Rappler’s headline:
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – We all know too well that politicians promise the universe and even heaven if elected to the elective positions they are seeking.
Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo is no exception.
But her promise is like no other. If elected on May 9, she said she would push for the Philippines to become a Monarchy. After all, she says, Filipinos love beauty queens.
To demonstrate that she was serious with her promise, she took to the stage in her latest concert rally, wearing a replica of the Miss Universe crown to the delight of her fanatics.
Too bad, two previous Filipina Miss Universes, Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray, who endorsed her candidacy, were not present at the rally to give her moral support for her aspiration to become Queen of the Philippine Monarchy.
PASAY CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Pasay Bureau) – It was touted as the reunion of the decade — members of the musical group Apo Hiking Society coming together for the first time since disbanding in 2010. The reunion was to happen at a concert rally held Saturday by the Leni Robredo-Kiko Pangilinan campaign in Pasay City.
But alas, to the disappointment of fans, there was no such reunion. Jim Paredes tweeted that Danny Javier won’t be able to join him and Boboy Garovillo due to health issues.
This fueled a lot of speculation about the botched reunion.
Some netizens said Javier may not have wanted to be associated with Paredes, who became controversial after an embarrassing self sex video that went viral on the Internet.
Others noted that Javier is known to be a supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte as confirmed by no less than ABS-CBN. Duterte’s daughter Sara is running for Vice President in tandem with former Senator Bongbong Marcos.
MORAL OF THE STORY; Blood may be thicker than water, but politics is thicker than a disbanded singing group.
