Fact Check: PH Senator Bato Dela Rosa Can Travel To 72 Countries Amid Arrest Threat

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Senator Bato dela Rosa said he is refraining from traveling to International Criminal Court (ICC) member-countries in case there is a warrant of arrest that will be issued against him.

Dela Rosa, along with former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is being investigated by ICC prosecutors for alleged crimes against humanity in connection with the previous administration’s war on drugs.

But before you all feel bad for the former police chief, here’s some good news:

Forty one countries have not signed the Rome Statute and are therefore not members of ICC while another 31 countries have signed but not ratified the agreement.

That’s a lot of travel options for dela Rosa. For starters he can travel to China, Ehtiopia, India, Indonesia, Iraq, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Plus the United States!

The Hallucination Of Raissa Robles

1 Comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Self-proclaimed investigative writer and author of the now moot and academic book on the Marcos Martial Law had something to say about Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte.

Robles criticized Duterte for calling the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) a “fake representative of the education sector in Congress.”

“Excuse me, “ Robles told the VP, “ACT has been fighting for teachers’ rights when you were still in diapers. I know because I used to interview ACT during Martial Law.”

There was something not right in Robles’ tweet, so The Adobo Chronicles investigated the investigative journalist and these are the glaring facts we found out:

–Ferdinand E. Marcos lifted Martial Law in 1981

–ACT was founded in 1982.

So, who was Robles interviewing then? Either she is lying or hallucinating. Either way, it doesn’t bode well for the journalism profession.
