MARIKINA, CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Marikina Bureau) – A photo published in The Inquirer is making the rounds on social media because netizens were duped into thinking that the lady being vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccine at the Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center in Marikina was Vice President Leni Robredo.
Netizens were also critical that the lady was being inoculated through her unrolled-up sleeve.
But a spokesperson for the hospital told The Adobo Chronicles that the what happened was merely a “symbolic vaccination” and the hospital staff vaccinated was just symbolic of the Vice President.
Robredo had previously said that she would be willing to be among the Filipinos to be vaccinated when the vaccines become available in the country.
It wasn’t clear whether or not she’d be willing to roll up her sleeves when that time comes.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The 2022 Philippine Presidential Elections is not that far away. The deadline for the filing of candidacy is set for October this year. There is no clear frontliner among the “Presidentiables,” a term coined by Pinoys to refer to those who could be President.
If online petitions on Change.org were the basis for determining who will succeed Rodrigo Duterte, neither Vice President Leni Robredo nor Davao City Mayor and Presidential daughter Sara Duterte will win the elections.
Online petitions as of this writing show that 32,000 Filipinos support Robredo’s candidacy, while almost twice that number would want her to retire from politics.
Meanwhile, the online petition encouraging Sara Duterte to run has so far garnered a measly 1,782 signatures.
Now the big question is, who will the Filipinos support to be their next President? Bongbong Marcos? Senator Bong Go? Senator Grace Poe? San Miguel Corporation’s Ramon Ang? Perhaps even consistent spoiler candidate Ely Pamatong?
It’s anyone’s guess at this point.
