Well, it depends on how one looks at the survey results. By turning the chart at 180 degrees.

PALINDROME: Duterte Waiting For 77th Birthday To Endorse Bongbong Marcos?

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Many are eagerly awaiting the formal endorsement of Bongbong Marcos’ presidential bid from President Rodrigo Duterte. While the Administration’s party, the PDP-Laban, has already signed a resolution endorsing Marcos, there seems to be an eerie silence from the President himself.

Sources close to The Adobo Chronicles seem to hold the answer to this mystery. They said that Duterte will make the formal endorsement when he celebrates his 77th birthday on March 28.

The reason? Duterte is a big fan of palindromes. He also considers them ”lucky.”

A palindrome is a word, a phrase, or a sequence of numbers that reads the same whether you read it forward or backward.

So endorsing Marcos, who is No. 7 on the ballot, on his 77th birthday creates the palindrome ”777.”

“It is a triple lucky 7 palindrome and it’s easy for voters to remember,” our sources added.

Leni Robredo Responds: I have Not Changed Color!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo has responded to criticism that she has again changed color. The VP has been accused of abandoning yellow for pink to distance herself from the loser Aquinos and their cronies.

During a televised presidential forum sponsored by the waning Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), Robredo was seen wearing a peach-colored dress, prompting netizens to speculate that she was again trying to reinvent herself and her politics.

Robredo spokesperson Barry Gutierrez, in a message to The Adobo Chronicles, categorically denied all speculation.

“The dress worn by the Vice President was originally pink. Unfortunately, her kasambahay (domestic help) accidentally washed the dress using bleach that wasn’t color safe,” he said.

“We were running late for the televised forum so Robredo didn’t have time to change to another (pink) wardrobe,” Gutierrez added.
