MANILA, Philippines (EXCLUSIVE to The Adobo Chronicles) – On the eve of what many are calling a heavily-lopsided fight between boxing world champion Floyd Mathweather, Jr. and UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor, Filipino boxing champion and now Senator Manny Pacquiao is finally breaking his silence.
In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Pacquiao intimated his secret desire to return to professional boxing, but more especially to win a rematch with Mayweather.
“I miss the excitement, the conflict, the pageantry and the adoration of millions of boxing fans. It’s as exciting as when a circus comes to town,” he said.
“Of course, the Senate is also like a circus, but it’s all fake,” the Sarangani-born Senator added.
As for challenger McGregor, Pacquiao merely said, “I-erase na yan.” (Just erase him). McGregor is Irish.

NAGA CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As the the electoral protest filed by former Senator Bongbong Marcos slowly inches its way towards a resolution by the Supereme Court, Leni Robredo is now mulling her new career as a private citizen.
Office of the Vice President spokesperson Georgina Hernandez told The Adobo Chronicles that Robredo is leaving no stone unturned as she mulls life after a possible short-lived VP stint.
“It is in her heart to travel to places, especially in the laylayan,” Hernandez said, “so she is seriously considering a new career as a bike rider, joining competitive tours that would wind through the poorest of places throughout the country.”
This explains the VP’s recent participation in a freedom ride, along with bicyclists in her home province. She is training hard and is well on her way to being an ex-celebrity biker.
