PET NULLIFIES LENI ROBREDO’S ELECTION AS VP!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After the long wait of four years, the Supreme Court, sitting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) has nullified the election of Vice President Leni Robredo in 2016. And it had nothing to do with the electoral protest filed by former Senator Bongbong Marcos.

In a review of election-related documents, the PET suddenly realized that the person who garnered the most votes for the VP position was a different person — different from Robredo.

In a resolution handing down the nullification of Robredo’s election, the PET said that the person listed on the official ballot was named Leni Daang Matuwid Robredo, apparently not the legal name of the VP which is Maria Leonor Robredo.

The PET said legal names matter in elections, otherwise, mismatched names would constitute fraud and falsification of public documents.

The nullification paves the way for Marcos to assume the Vice Presidency, albeit only about two years remain in the current term.

AMAZON, LAZADA OVERWHELMED BY PANTSUIT ONLINE ORDERS

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – U.S.-based Amazon and Philippine-based Lazada are both reporting a sharp increase in their online sales of women’s pantsuit just hours after Vice President-elect Kamala Harris appeared at a Democratic victory event in Delaware today. Harris donned a white pantsuit.

Many will recall that former First Lady and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was also known for the pantsuits she wore at public events.

Both Amazon and Lazada told The Adobo Chronicles that their pantsuits, especially the white colored ones, are currently on back order. Neither could confirm when the pantsuit stocks will be back to normal.

Win or lose, donald trump will authorize a second stimulus check for americans

1 Comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Even if he loses the election, Donald Trump will remain as President until the inauguration of Joe Biden in January.

Sources close to The White House told The Adobo Chronicles that Trump plans to issue an Executive Order authorizing the granting of a second round of the Covid-19 stimulus checks to Americans, but only those who voted for him. That would exclude the 75 Million (and counting) of voters who chose Joe Biden in this November’s elections.

The new round of stimulus checks, according to a White House spokesperson who prefers to remain anonymous, will be double that of the first round ($1,200 for individuals and twice that for couples, plus additional bucks for those with qualified children.) That would be a minimum of $2,400 of Christmas shopping money for singles.

The Executive Order authorizes the Bureau of Internal Revenue to secure copies of ballots cast to determine who is qualified for the second round of stimulus checks.

Did you vote for Trump?
