BLOGGER RAISSA ROBLES HAS THE PERFECT ANSWER TO NEW BILIBID PRISON DRUG DEALING MYSTERY

Leave a comment

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Blogger and self-confessed journalist Raissa Robles claims to have the perfect answer to the mystery involving drug dealing inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP), or national penitentiary of the Philippines.

Robles’ suggestion came just after Day One of the House of Representatives’ hearing on the proliferation of the drug trade inside the NBP where witness after witness testified that drug lord inmates have been engaged in illegal activity duiring the tenure of then Secretary of Justice Leila De Lima.

Robles took to her Twitter account to suggest that “if someone like Dayan goes in and out of maximum security prison to collect money, shouldn’t his name come out in visitor logs?” (Dayan is the alleged lover and driver of De Lima.)

Shame on the  Department of Justice, Congress and investigators for not thinking about this brilliant theory in the first place!

Dialing Senator De Lima’s Cell Phone Number: All Circuits Are Busy

Prison Inmate Colangco testifying before Congress

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – While Senator Leila De Lima was delivering her privilege speech attacking Senators Alan Peter Cayetano and Manny Pacquiao, and President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, her cell phone registered thousands of incoming calls.  Her phone was, of course, on silent mode.

The calls came in soon after National Bilibid Prison inmate Herbert Colangco testified at today’s Congressional hearing on drug business proliferation at the national penitentiary that he had spoken by phone to De Lima, revealing the cell phone number he dialed to do so.

Colangco and other witnesses testified that De Lima, then the Secretry of Justice, benefited from drug deals inside the prison.

The incoming calls included several from Deputy House Speaker Gwen Garcia who tried to call De Lima’s supposed cell phone number to verify the truth and accuracy of Colangco’s testimony.  To Garcia’s surprise, the number she dialed corresponded with a saved cell phone number she had on her phone’s address book which belonged to De Lima.

Others who tried to call De Lima’s cell phone number merely got a recorrded message saying, “All circuits are busy.  Please try your call later.”

The cell phone number is 0917-842-19**

Why Trillanes Did Not Turn Off Senator Manny Pacquiao’s Microphone

Leave a comment

image.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipinos saw it all on live TV, or via the trending Internet: Senator Antonio Trillanes turning off the microphone of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano in an attempt to silence the lastter while he was interrogating the Senate hearing witness on the alleged extra-judicial killings.

Trillanes has apologized to Cayetano since then.

But in yesterday’s regular Senate session, Trillanes again had the strong urge to turn off the microphone of Senator Manny Pacquiao when the boxing icon was proposing a motion to declare the chairmanship of the Senate committee on justice (headed by Senator Leila De Lima) vacant.

As Trillanes got up from his seat to approach the podium where Pacquiao stood, the boxer-senator clenched his fist as if ready to punch Trillanes in the face. (It would have been a knockout, witnesses say.)

That scared Trillanes and he sank in his seat throughout the entire proceedings, only to abstain from voting when the motion to oust De Lima was called on the floor.  De Lima was eventually ousted.

When asked by The Adobo Chronicles, Pacquiao he never had the intention of punching Trillanes.  “I clenched my fist in solidarity  with our President, Rodrigo Roa Duterte,” he said.  The clenched fist has been a signature gesture by the president and his supporters.
