MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vice President Leni Robredo has made her first major campaign promise if elected the next President of the Philippines.
Robredo said she will work towards further building and improving SmartMatic, the firm that has a contract to manage the country’s electoral process.
It can be recalled that Robredo allegedly won the Vice Presidency in 2016 due to questionable moves by SmartMatic that favored her candidacy.
The Office of the Vice President however clarified that Robredo’s promise is dependent on whether she wins the Presidency in 2022 through SmartMatic.
MANILA, Philppines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The official campaign period for the 2022 Philippine elections hasn’t started yet but already, two Presidential candidates are conceding!
Vice President Leni Robredo and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno have all but conceded that they are the only two Presidential aspirants who haven’t worn a military uniform either as an officer or reservist.
Even Vice Presidential candidate and Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte has donned the uniform representing valor, loyalty, integrity and service to the country. Other candidates include former police chief Panfilo Lacson, General Antonio Parlade, President Rodrigo Duterte, Manny Pacquiao and Bongbong Marcos.
Robredo and Moreno have also conceded that they need to project themselves in other ways during the campaign to show that they are worthy to be Commander-in-Chief.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now it can be told. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is going for a Guinness World Record, hoping to put Maria Ressa’s Nobel Peace Prize to shame.
Duterte has filed his candidacy for Senator in the coming May, 2022 elections. At 76, Duterte can be Senator for two terms or a total of 12 years, if elected and reelected. That would make him 88 years old after the two terms. He can take a break after that and run again for another two terms which would make him over 100 years old by the time he finishes his third and fourth Senatorial term. Now that would truly be a Guinness World Record.
Former Senator Juan Ponce Enrile had the chance to bag that world record had he won in the 2019 Senatorial elections, dethroning 91-year-old Mahatir Mohammad, the current prime minister of Malaysia. Mahatir was also named as the Oldest Prime Minister by the Guinness World Records.
But Enrile lost.
We’re rooting for Duterte to finally bring honor to the Philippines with yet another Guinness record!
