Rumors and speculation abound on the Internet regarding Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte’s departure for Germany amid the impending calamity due to Typhoon Carina.
Some have speculated that she would be attending one of Taylor Swifts ERAS concerts in Germany.
Others suspect that she is training in Berlin for the 2028 Olympics to be held in Los Angeles.
The Adobo Chronicles can now confirm that it is not true that she has set her sights to the next Olympic boxing and that she has contracted with an international coach and manager to build on her natural boxing skills.

The international uproar over biological males allegedly entering women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics is a melodrama for the ages. With no gender eligibility tests for just two athletes, the world’s gone bananas. Discrimination, you say? Why, the very notion!
Let’s pause to ponder the irony: biological male boxers face blatant sexism by being helmetless in the ring while their female counterparts are cosseted in cushy headgear. It’s as if male skulls come with an inbuilt airbag. Are we waiting for a headline-grabbing, tragic head injury to reinstate helmet requirements?
Meanwhile, the supposed infiltration of male athletes in women’s events sparks more outrage than the blatant disregard for male safety. Could it be the Olympics is less about fair play and more about sensationalism? Ah, the sweet hypocrisy of sports!
