Philippines’ VP Leni Robredo Wants To Step Down To Pursue Modeling Career

IMG_7286.PNGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It is no secret that she was hesitant to run for vice president. But being the good citizen and loyal party member that she is, she accepted the challenge of candidacy for the Liberal Party. And she won.

Now, Leni Robredo is having second thoughts about being VP.

She wants to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a fashion and magazine model, and since she assumed the vice presidency, she has made it to the cover of several fashion magazines.

She told The Adobo Chronicles that her VP and cabinet positions are standing in the way of her modeling ambition.

She is expected to announce her decision about possibly abandoning her government positions in the next few weeks, after a scheduled meeting with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Stay tuned.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that about 15,000 to 20,000 people attended yesterday’s anti-Marcos burial rally at the Luneta Park.  The rally was billed as a day of rage and unity, and also as “Black Friday.”

But reporters for The Adobo Chronicles who were at the scene yesterday belied the reported numbers.

Only 20 people attended the rainy day rally, and we have actual photos to prove it (see photos).

Of the 20 people, ten students from U.P., PUP and Arellano University belonged to the group Duterte Youth who told us that they were there to support President Rodrigo Duterte and the Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Marcos burial at Libingan Ng Mga Bayani.

The rest of the rallyists were part of the “at iba pa” group (etcetera group).  They were there to advocate of love, peace, end to poverty and social justice.

FOX News Announces Game Plan For Announcing Winner In Tuesday’s U.S. Presidential Elections

Harvey

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – FOX News just revealed that it has hired Steve Harvey to announce the name of the next president of the United States.

While anchors from different news networks will call Tuesday’s election in favor of either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, FOX News has chosen to have Harvey do the honors.

Harvey is well known for announcing the wrong Miss Universe and first runner-up in last year’s beauty pageant, saying that Miss Colombia had won the crown although it was clear in the cheat sheet that Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach was the winner.

FOX News executives told The Adobo Chronicles that Harvey is the perfect choice to make the call Tuesday night.

“If Harvey announces Clinton as the winner, nobody would believe him, especially the loyal viewers of FOX News; if he announces Trump, then the Republican candidate would enjoy a few minutes of being named president before Harvey admits it was the wrong call,” they said.

It’s the Miss Universe moment all over again, but this time, it could be a win-win situation for FOX News. Or Trump.
