Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After all, the Liberal Party’s best bet for President in the 2022 elections is not its chairperson Leni Robredo. Rather, it is Congressman Edcel Lagman of the 1st District of Albay, according to a party consensus.

This shocking development within the Opposition party was reported by The Manila Times in a breaking news headline that said:

The Adobo Chronicles tried to reach the Office of the Vice President, but calls have not been returned as of press time.

This is a developing story.

ICC Rejects Petition Of Trillanes, Alejano!

Leave a comment

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (The Adobo Chronicles, Paris Bureau) – The International Criminal Court (ICC) today junked the petition filed by Antonio Trillanes and Gary Alejano accusing Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte of crimes against humanity.

ICC issued its decision not based on the merits of the petition but on technicality.

The joint petitioners represented themselves as a Filipino couple, even displaying their marriage certificate in front of the ICC seal in the international body’s headquarters in The Hague.

ICC found the couple’s petition as void since same-sex marriage is not legal in the Philippines.

A spokesperson for ICC told The Adobo Chronicles that the action by Trillanes and Alejano constituted fraud and an unacceptable disrespect for the international body.

This all puts to rest the ICC Prosecutors request to start an investigation into the alleged extra-judicial killings committed by the Duterte government in connection with its war on illegal drugs.

Leni And Sara: The Gloves Are Off, And We Score The First Punch!

Leave a comment

DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao City Bureau) – The gloves are off, and we are witness to the first punch Vice President Leni Robredo receives from Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.

Robredo stuck her stinky finger into the internal affairs of Davao by suggesting that Sara’s city can learn a thing or two from the way Cebu City has been handling the Covid-19 pandemic. Never mind that Camarines Sur has been flagged by Octa Research because of the surge of Covid cases in Robredo’s home province.

Sara responded with gusto!

The Adobo Chronicles has scored this salvo 5-0, in favor of Sara,

For one, Sara’s response was written in perfect English, very clear, concise and direct to the point, unlike Robredo’s characteristic repetitive, vague, and oftentimes empty comments and statements.

We can’t wait for the second, third punch!
