MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The big news this week is the designation of Vice President Sara Duterte as Co-Vice Chair of the NTF-Elcac, the anti-communist insurgency task force of the Philippine government.

But wait, Marcos has just appointed ex-Vice President Leni Robredo as the 3rd co-Vice Chair of the task force.

Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles that “let bygones be bygones,” adding that she is confident she will do well as an appointee to this important agency.

It will be recalled that during the Rodrigo Duterte administration, Robredo was appointed, then fired, twice. First as Housing Secretary, then as “Drug Czar.”

But appointments are lovelier, the third time around!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used by students to submit their theses or by fast food chains to take customer orders, why can’t it be used in lieu of voting in the polls?

Well, ask no more.

The Philippines’ Commission on Elections (Comelec) today announced that beginning with the 2025 mid-term elections, AI will replace ballots when voting for national and local candidates.

Comelec told The Adobo Chronicles that it is finalizing plans to use AI to facilitate the election and proclamation of candidates.

Instead of going to the poll booths, Comelec said that voters can just register their social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and AI will determine their choice of candidates based on their social media history.

Comelec said this novel idea will save the government a lot of money normally spent to conduct elections, and will ensure a higher percentage of registered voters actually voting.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Looney Tunes, a worldwide media franchise that spawns several television series, feature films, comic books, music albums, video games, and amusement park rides, is coming to the Philippines!

Today, Atty. Leni Robredo announced that she is venturing into the entertainment world. She has just bought and started the Philippine franchise of the international media outfit.

It will be named after her: Leney Tunes!

It is no secret that Robredo is passionate about being a top-rate entertainer, something that she has proven to Filipinos during and after the 2022 presidential campaign and elections.

What would be different for Leney Tunes from the original international franchise is that instead of using cartoons, Robredo herself will model various characters — from Hadouken, to martial arts to historical icons.

Robredo had reportedly contracted with composer Ryan Cayabyab to compose the music for Leney Tunes’ video episodes.
