Cynthia Patag’s Non-Apology Apology

img_6443MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – By now, Filipino netizens are familiar with retired singer-comedienne Cynthia Patag’s  rant on her Facebook account whereby she spread lies about musician Noli Asencio’s recent death.

Patag reposted a private message she received from the wife of another retired singer, Jim Paredes.  That message claimed that Asencio was abducted and drugged and was a victim of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s war on drugs.

Well, the family of Asencio denied the claim and lamented the fact that Patag used the musician’s death for her own vile political agenda.

You see, Patag and the Paredeses are very anti-Duterte.

Naturally Patag received many angry comments from Filipino netizens.

Today, Patag issued a non-apology apology addressed to Asencio’s family, Iwi Laurel and Nicole Laurel Asencio.

At first, netizens thought Patag was sincerely apologizing.  But then she went on with yet another rant:

Susme! Nicole accused me of using her deceased dad for my own vile political agenda. “You should be ashamed of yourself! Have some respect for yourself first!” You, too, Iwi, posted the same, but awa ng Dios, yours was more subdued: “Who appointed you as spokesperson for our family?” HA?😳 Ay, Laurel-Asencio – mga Pinoy elite pala sila.😊”

Here’s Patag’s full post.  You be the judge:

Filipino American Millionnaire To Donate All Her Money To Build Drug Rehabilitation Centers In The Phlippines

IMG_6439.JPGSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – She’s Filipina American, multi-millionaire, chair of the US Pinoys for Good Government, and a staunch supporter of the Yellow Liberal Party.  Her name is Loida Nicolas Lewis, chief campaigner for defeated presidential candidate Mar Roxas.

And she has it both ways.  Once, she said some very kind words about Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Then, she signed a letter to the Miss Universe Organization to cancel the Miss Universe pageant scheduled to be held in the Philippines next January.  The letter cited an unfavorable atmosphere under the Duterte presidency.

But she is also a philanthropist.

So, because of her love of her homeland, she announced today that she was divesting herself of her millions — $600 Million as a matter of fact.

She wants to donate all her money to build drug rehabilitation centers in the Philippines, to complement Duterte’s war on drugs which saw more than half a million Filipino drug dealers and users voluntarily surrender. It’s her way of continuing the Aquino administration’s “Daang Matuwid.”

Wishful thinking.
