MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) –  You asked for it. You got it!

For the longest time, politically-savvy Filipino netizens have been clamoring for a face-to-face debate between the social media warriors of both President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Leni Robredo.

It was difficult to get these two opposing groups on the same stage for a very public debate on important national and international issues facing the country today.  The sticking point in the negotiations was the fact that most of Robredo’s trollmongers hide behind pseudonyms or choose to be completely anonymous.

Finally, the two groups — Duterte’s Trollerati and Robredo’s LayLeni have agreed on debate rules and details.

To protect their anonymity, the LayLeni will wear identical white masks 🎭.  In addition, both groups have chosen a panel of moderators from The Adobo Chronicles and PolitikalPinoy.

The two-hour debate will be seen on Facebook Live hosted by Miss Mocha Uson. The last thirty minutes will be devoted to live audience and online questions.

The only remaining details to be worked out are the date and time of the great debate which will be held at the Luneta Grandstand.

Stay tuned!

IMG_0416.PNGNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Champagne started flowing at The Adobo Chronicles headquarters in San Jose, California, after the last of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize winners were announced today.

AdoboChron was proclaimed winner of this year’s Best Unbelievable News, besting other finalists like The New York Times, TIME Magazine, and CNN.

The three news giants had hoped that their entries which all depicted chaos, death and anarchy in the streets of Manila as a result of President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs would land them the much-coveted prize.

In the end, the Pulitzer jury decided against the news giants in favor of a relatively new start-up news source, The Adobo Chronicles.

Publishers of The Adobo Chronicles announced an open-to-the-public celebration for this great honor at its headquarters on Good Friday.  There will be lost of chicken and pork adobo to go around.
