MANILA, Philippines ( The Adobo Chronicles) – Amid questions over her and her family’s citizenship, Philippine presidential candidate Senator Grace Poe said her husband would renounce his American citizenship to show “support” for her administration if she wins in 2016.
Poe’s husband Neil Llamanzares and their 3 children enjoy dual citizenship – of the United States and the Philippines.
Not to be outdone, Liberal Party and administration candidate Mar Roxas pledged today that if he loses in the 2016 elections, he and his wife, broadcaster Korina Sanchez will renounce their Filipino citizenship.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Presidential candidate Mar Roxas on Tuesday raised the possibilitythat the “laglag bala scheme” at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) may be part of a “demolition job” against the government, coming just days leading to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders Summit in Metro Manila.
The former Interior Secretary’s words, somehow, were very similar to what singer and Yellowtard Cynthia Patag said the day before on her Instagram account. Or shall we say exactly the same.
Patag was not happy that Roxas was mimicking her, and is planning to sue the Liberal Party standard bearer for plagiarism.
Roxas countered by saying that Patag didn’t know what she was talking about, labeling the scheme as “dagdag bala” instead of “laglag bala.”
Here’s Patag’s Instagram post. We’ll let our readers decide who copied whom:
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez, wife of presidential candidate Mar Roxas, says she is very proud about the laglag bala scheme that has tainted not only the reputation of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), but that of Philippine tourism as a whole.
The scheme involves the arrest of airline passengers allegedly found to be keeping bullets in their luggage. It is suspected that the bullets are “planted” by airport personnel as a way of extorting money from unsuspecting passengers.
In a statement yesterday, Sanchez even suggested to the international magazine National Geographic to feature the scheme as well as NAIA in one of its future editions. “This way, the world can truly appreciate the heroic efforts of the Philippine government to ensure the utmost security of passengers flying into and out of Manila. She went as far as to suggest a title for the feature article on NAIA: “World’s Best Bullet-Detecting Airport.”
Sanchez is no stranger to controversial on-air and off-air comments. She once clashed with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, accusing him of not knowing what he as talking about in his live coverage of the devastation brought about by Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan).
She also commented in a live broadcast that she hoped an impending typhoon (Ruby) about to hit the the Philippines would veer towards Japan instead.
If her husband is elected president, Sanchez will surely be a First Lady with a lot to say.
