MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She claims to be an advocate for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), complete with a giant billboard proclaiming her support for a PWD party-listin the coming Philippine elections. Yet retired Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon is all but promoting a mockery of handicapped people.
In a post on her Twitter account, Guanzon is asking her followers to post selfies mimicking facial paralysis (“ngiwi” in Tagalog) and to use the hasghtags #ngiwisquad and #ngiwichallenge.
THE FACTS: Many people suffer from facial paralysis, a disability. Such paralysis could be caused by stroke, Bell’s palsy, trauma, tumors, viruses and Lyme Disease.
Is Guanzon going to publicly apologize to the very people she’s advocating for?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It seems that Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo just made a big fuss over standing in heels for three hours during the debate sponsored by CNN Philippines.
Robredo was seen leaving the University of Santo Tomas debate venue, going barefoot and carrying her high-heeled shoes. Her campaign wanted to get the people’s sympathy for the ordeal she went through just to show up at the forum attended by all presidential candidates except Bongbong Marcos.
But a leaked photo of Robredo during one of several commercial breaks showed her sitting comfortably in a chair provided by CNN, wearing flipflops —truly a rare footage that wasn’t seen by the television audience!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If you can’t lick him, join him!
Supporters of presidential aspirant Leni Robredo have all but given up on their candidate whose poll ratings continue to trail frontrunner Bongbong Marcos by a wide margin.
In desperation, Leni supporters joined the camp of Marcos, all in the spirit of unity which has always been the former senator’s campaign promise and strategy.
In one of Marcos’ motorcade, pinklawans, as Leni supporters are called, showered Marcos with confetti consisting of Leni-Kiko fliers.
What great use for what would otherwise be just ineffective, wasted Leni campaign material.
