MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A Congressional Blue Ribbon Committee has issued a subpoena to Maria Ressa to testify in its continuing investigation into the January 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The subpoena was issued after the Nobel Laureate, CEO of Rappler and convicted criminal warned of a repeat of the attack on the U.S. Capitol if what she describes as disinformation is not stopped in the light of the coming Philippine elections.
In its summons, the committee said to Ressa: ”It appears you have some classified information that we are not aware of that will put our American lawmakers at harms way. It is important that we put a stop to this sinister plan to launch a second attack on the Capitol.”
The U.S. Congress has sent a diplomatic note to the Philippine government and the Court of Appeals to allow Ressa to travel to Washington, D.,C. to face the lawmakers.
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Is Vice President Leni Robredo finally waking up to the reality that she has no chance of winning the Presidency in the May 2022 Philippine elections?
The Manila Times is reporting that Robredo is willing to unify with other Presidential bets, which many are interpreting to mean she is ready to withdraw from the Presidential race.
But the big question remains — who will she endorse?
Definitely not Bongbong Marcos. Probably not even Manila Mayor Isko Moreno who in a recent poll, has displaced Robredo from the distant No. 2 spot.
Will it be Ping Lacson, or Manny Pacquiao? Or any of the other candidates in Comelec’s list of 11 Presidential candidates?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles,Manila Bureau) – Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon tweeted that she had a fever, just hours after she presided over a preliminary hearing on two disqualification petitions filed against former Senator and presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos.
This prompted the feisty Commissioner (a.k.a. shunga) to submit to a Covid-19 RT-PCR test.
The test came back positive!
Comelec Spokesperson James Jimenez told The Adobo Chronicles that Guanzon may have been exposed to the zoomicron virus after she had a fit when Marcos failed to appear — not even by zoom — at Friday’s hearing.
Guanzon demanded that Marcos’ counsel produce a medical certificate to justify the former Senators’ no-show.
It wasn’t clear whether Guanzon will be able to resume the disqualification hearing on Monday due to her condition. She will then have to produce a medical certificate if the hearing must be postponed.
