MENLO PARK, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Oxford Dictionaries defines the Filipino word, ‘trapo’ as a traditional, corrupt politician. Trapos abound in the Philippines — not just in politics but in media.
But when a netizen (disclosure: our publisher) called Philippine politicians and (biased) news media trash and trapos, Facebook censored his post, saying it goes against its community standard involving hate speech.
So our advice to our readers, use ‘refuse’ when referring to trash, and ‘trapeze’ when referring to trapo politicians and news media.
Or you can just say “basura.” Now your garbage can’t be censored, can it? It gets collected every week.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) -Senator Bam Aquino is finally breaking his silence after his devastating loss in the May 13 Senatorial elections which saw him beaten by a Marcos (Imee), and a Budots-dancing actor, Bong Revilla.
In a statement released to the public, Aquino said that 14 Million votes for an Aquino in time of Duterte (is) still feat.
In a follow-up statement he provided The Adobo Chronicles, Aquino blamed the Filipino voters while exonerating hmself. Addressing the voters directly, Aquino said:
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau)- Vice President Leni Robredo yesterday said that it was a waste of time to plan to oust the Duterte administration because the Presidency is destiny, not anything that is planned or plotted.
With that, Robredo has plotted her destiny to become President, without needing to lift a finger!
