CEBU CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Cebu Bureau) – With just about a month before election day, Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Kiko Pangilinan were burned today in Cebu City!
Well, not them personally, but their giant tarpaulins put up on the facade of a building along Legaspi Street which caught fire Friday morning.
This development sent jitters to the Leni-Kiko campaign and their followers, adding unnecessary stress and frustration following poll after poll showing Robredo is far behind frontrunner Bongbong Marcos in the presidential race.
BUCHA, Ukraine (The Adobo Chronicles, Moscow Bureau) – The Philippines may no longer be the worst war zone Maria Ressa has ever been in. (Many will recall that it is how how she described her own country in interviews with foreign news media.)
The Nobel laureate and CEO of Rappler, the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines, was seen covering the aftermath of a Russian assault on Bucha in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
Ressa immediately flew to Ukraine following her recent testimony before the U.S. Senate and meetings with American top officials on the state of freedom of expression in Asia.
We pray for the safety of this courageous woman and others covering the conflict.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Running out of viable options, the camp of Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo is radically changing its campaign strategy.
Led by Robredo’s daughter Tricia, the camp is now going house to house trying to convince Filipinos to vote for her mother. In the Filipino language, it is known as ”bahay-bahayan.”
Bahay-bahayan is when children at play pretend to be mother, father and kids and do chores or activities to mimic real family living.
A total make-believe. Just like Robredo’s quest for the presidency.
