Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo is known to be an advocate for those in the ”laylayan” (bottom rung of society). And she is being true to her advocacy.

In an interview on the presidential candidate forum sponsored by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), Robredo said that Filipinos don’t really dream for the grandest things. They just want to be given space to realize their (lowest) dreams.

With this statement, Robredo practically wants those in the laylayan to remain where they are — at the bottom rung of society.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Former Senator Bongbong Marcos has been registering a significant lead for the presidential race among all scientific polling agencies. It has not come as a surprise that the son of the late great president also leads in street surveys and in the 7-Eleven Speak Cup poll.

But a new poll now shows that Vice President Leni Robredo has finally overtaken Marcos. As reported by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Robredo’s traction is coming from anecdotal evidence, popularly known in the Philippines as ”Marites” and ”tsismis” (gossip).
