MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Bongbong Marcos, the master of eloquence and statesmanship, has finally broken his silence regarding his cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

Romualdez has been making headlines recently regarding his reaction to former President Rodrigo Duterte’s criticism of Congress, as well as the ouster of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as Deputy House Speaker.

When asked by The Adobo Chronicles for his opinion on Romualdez’s recent statements and actions, Marcos left the nation in awe with his profound response: “No Comment.”

This insightful and deeply reflective answer from the President reveals his unparalleled ability to navigate the complex world of politics. It’s as if he has transcended the need for words, leaving us all in rapt contemplation of the profound wisdom that must be concealed behind his enigmatic smile.

In a world filled with pressing issues and national concerns, President Marcos’s choice to withhold his sage-like insights is a beacon of hope for a nation that craves his guidance.

Surely, we should all follow his lead and embrace the power of “No Comment” as the ultimate solution to the world’s problems.

I’ve been occupying my scheds with doing (or, more properly,  going to a fiesta) Wawat since the day after the local elections. I like this tradition – it is a combi of celebrating, giving thanks and re-acquainting one’s self with the folks. It is a baranggay people thing, camaraderie, oneness, community. Going to the head of a line to get your portion of the blessings – age doesn’ t matter, nor does gender. Nor appearance. You get to chow, on a piece of banana bark. . . Or you can take it home with you. I got a portion of pancit, caldereta, adobo and bone-soup and steamed rice today. . .

The contest leading to the election is a matter of yesterday. There are no more speeches that can make a cemetary crave double sleep. No promises that are being broken as they are uttered.The succeeding days are days of re-friending the enemy, unblocking, re-frq, planning, visualising the next future. 

Every one is involved. The consensus is promising. 

It’s a good thing.
