Hong Kong Immigration Says Del Rosario Was Holding Fake Chinese Passport

Leave a comment

HONG KONG, China (The Adobo Chronicles, Hong Kong Bureau) – Now it can be told.

Hong Kong’s Immigration just revealed the real reason ex-Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Del Rosario was denied entry and deported back to the Philippines. He presented a fake Chinese passport, not a Philippine diplomatic passport as he earlier claimed.

”It was apparent Del Rosario wanted to evade scrutiny by Immigration authorities after he and ex-Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales filed a complaint before the International Criminal Court against Chinese President Xi Jinping for alleged crimes against humanity,” a Chinese official told The Adobo Chronicles.

(Morales was also held and questioned when she tried to enter Hong Kong weeks ago.)

Case closed.

Leni Robredo To Travel To HK This Week To Test Its Immigration Policy

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Two former high-ranking officials of the Philippines — ex-Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales and ex-Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Del Rosario — were all but denied entry into Hong Kong recently, supposedly because of the complaint they filed before the International Criminal Court against Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Jinping was accused of crimes against humanity for China’s activities in disputed territory in the South China Sea.

Now, Vice President Leni Robredo says she will travel to Hong Kong this week on a personal business (shopping) to test HK’s Immigration policy against those who publicly criticize the Chinese government.

Robredo has slammed the ‘sinking’ of a Philippine fishing boat by a Chinese vessel in the West Philippine Sea and has called for a trial of the Chinese crew in the Philippines and under Philippine law.

The Office of the Vice President refused to confirm if Robredo will be using a diplomatic or regular Philippine passport.

MMDA Plan To Ban Provincial Buses On EDSA Gets Support From Leni Robredo

Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Unless the courts step in to issue a restraining order, the MMDA plan to ban provincial buses and terminals on EDSA is set to kick in on June 1st.

Under the brilliant plan by luxury car-owning execs at MMDA, Metro Manila passengers going north like Baguio will have to hop on a city bus — luggage, bayong and Balikbayan box in tow —to Valenzuela City to take a provincial bus to Baguio.

Those going south like Bicol will have to take a city bus to Santa Rosa, Laguna to catch a provincial bus to their final destination.

Bicol, did you say?

Well, the country’s No. 1 (or is it No. 2?) Bicolana — Vice President Leni Robredo has thrown her 100% support for the MMDA plan.

”Sanay akong maghintay ng city bus along the highway, on my way to take the provincial bus to Naga, just like most people from the laylayan do,” she told The Adobo Chronicles.

Many will recall the viral photo of Robredo waiting to hail a bus from underneath an unnamed underpass in Metro Manila.

So she knows the drill, and has no problem whatsoever with the controversial MMDA plan.
