MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The popular U.S. reality show, “Celebrity Apprentice” is set to make its debu in the Philippines next month. The show, featuring Donald Trump, popularized the phrase, “You’re fired!”

Inspired by the recent firing by President Rodrigo Duterte of his newly-appointed Drug Czar, Leni Robredo, NBC network says the debut episode will feature the Vice President.

This is the second firing for Robredo who was previously sacked from her Cabinet position of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The reality series will be aired locally on ABS-CBN which also faces possible “firing” if its soon-to-expire franchise will not be renewed.

Miriam: May salamin ka ba sa bahay o opisina mo?

Leni: Maiba po tayo, nagkita na po ba kayo ni Jesse?

OMiriam: Wala siya dito sa langit.

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Rappler CEO Maria Ressa found an ally in her claim that the government is trying to silence the media. The ally? Someone who is part of the government — Vice President Leni Robredo.

In a recent press conference where she discussed her role in the war on drugs, Robredo hushed the media.

She could not muster the answers to reporters’ questions about what her knowledge and competence are in as far as going after drug lords, now that she is the unofficial Drug Czar of President Rodrigo Duterte.

In her usual modus operandi in evading difficult questions, Robredo chided the reporters to stop asking questions and instead join her for some afternoon snacks.

According to a reporter present at the press conference, Robredo put her finger in front of her mouth and said: “Shhhhh. Huwag na kayong magtanong. Mag-merienda na lang tayo.” (Hush, don’t ask any more questions. Let’s just have some snacks.) And we have the photo to prove it.
