Duterte APPOINTS ROBREDO TO HEAD NEW COMMISSION!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For the third time in four years, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is appointing Vice President Leni Robredo to head a Cabinet-level Commission which he created through a new Executive Order.

Robredo had been previously appointed as Housing and Drug Czar but neither of those worked out.

Duterte believes in third chances, so he has again tapped Robredo to head the new Professional Regla Commission that will oversee the rights and privileges of Filipino citizens who have reached the age of menopause (regla).

In issuing the Executive Order, Duterte said it is about time that the government address discrimination faced by menopaused women in employment, education and social services. “Robredo’s passion and experience in the area of menopause are perfect for the position. She fully understands the trials and tribulations experienced by Filipino women in their somethings,” Duterte said.

Congratulations to the Vice President!

LENI ROBREDO CRITICIZES TIME’S CHOICE OF PERSON(S) OF THE YEAR

Leave a comment

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo today criticized TIME magazine’s pick of the 2020 “Person(s) of the Year,” calling it unfair and biased.

TIME announced this morning that it has chosen President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as this year’s honorees.

”Iyong pagpili kay Kamala Harris ay parang unfair at biased yata, samantalang noong ako’y nanalo bilang Bise Presidente ng Pilipinas noong 2016, ni hindi man lang ako nasali sa short list o iyong long list ng TIME. Hindi ba, gaya ng iyong pagpili kay Harris, ako din naman ay Bise Presidente, babae ang may kulay na tao,” Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles.

(The choice of Kamala Harris seems to be unfair and biased, while when I won as Vice President of the Philippines in 2016, I was not even included in TIME’s short list or long list (for the Person of the Year). Just like Harris, I was also Vice President, a woman and a person of color..)

As of press time, the editors of TIME have not responded to Robredo’s criticism.

The Adobo Chronicles, however, has named Robredo its (Other) “Woman of the Year) just last week.

DONALD TRUMP’S (SECOND) DEVASTATING LOSS TO JOE BIDEN (AND KAMALA HARRIS)

Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Losing to Joe Biden in last November’s presidential elections was devastating to Donald Trump. Losing a second time to Joe Biden AND Kamala Harris was crushing!

Sources close to The White House’s West Wing told The Adobo Chronicles that the President has locked himself all day today in the Oval Office, refusing to talk to anyone, and shouted at a White House aide who knocked on his door to serve him some diet Coke and French fries. “Go away,” he reportedly told the aide.

Trump’s erratic behavior began soon after TIME magazine announced its pick for this year’s “Person of the Year.” Shortly before the announcement, TIME released its shortlist for this year’s award: Trump, Biden, “frontline health care workers and Dr. Anthony Fauci” and the “movement for racial justice.” Our sources said the President was 100% confident he would win the title.

Analysts say that the biggest blow to Trump was not just losing to Biden a second time, but that he also lost to Harris, a Vice Presidential candidate, a woman and a person of color.

Trump now owes Americans not one, but two concessions.

Stay tuned! This really makes for a good Reality TV show!
