THE VATICAN (The Adobo Chronicles, Rome Bureau) – The separation of church and state is a principle adhered to universally, but the Roman Catholic Church has its limits when it comes to politics and Mary the mother of Jesus Christ.

Pope Francis today approved the excommunication of a group of supporters of Philippine Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo.

The Pinklawans as they are popularly called, were photographed holding a poster bearing the image of Robredo as Mother Mary. Not only that, the poster made a mockery of one of the most sacred prayers of the Catholic Church, the ” Hail Mary.”

In his excommunication order, the Pope accused the group of sacrilege and idolatry and said that the action of The Vatican was irreversible.

The Adobo Chronicles tried to reach Robredo but her spokesperson said she was taking a nap after working continuously for 18 hours.

Pinklawans Cancel Cavite Province!

Leave a comment

GENERAL TRIAS CITY, Cavite (The Adobo Chronicles, Cavite Bureau) – The Leni Robredo camp was so confident that their claim of 130,000 attendees at their most recent concert rally would be unbeatable. But they learned to never say never.

Vote-rich Cavite province delivered for the BBM-Sara UniTeam. And the Caviteños delivered well.

As aerial photos and videos of the UniTeam grand rally in General Trias City went viral on the Internet, netizens thought they were seeing images from the 2016 miting de avance of President Rodrigo Duterte.

But the photos were authentic, non-Photoshopped images from the UniTeam rally. No balloons, no paper flowers, no confetti, no oversized headdresses. Just people, real people.

The Adobo Chronicles ventured to estimate the crowd at one million, subject of course to honest-to-goodness fact checking by Rappler, VeraFiles, Inquirer, ANC, FactCheckPH, and News 5.

Regardless, pinklawans were one in deciding to cancel Cavite — at least in their advantage column. Oh, this cancel culture. Sometimes it works well!
