Third-Rate Actress Calls Philippines Third World

IMG_6334.JPGMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipina actress Agot Isidro recently criticized President Rodrigo Duterte for his latest tirades against the European Union and the United States, calling him a “psychopath.”

Last week, Duterte said he would rather die of hunger than accept aid from superpowers that wish to meddle in his war against illegal drugs.

On Friday, Isidro took to Facebook and posted a message to the president:

“Unang-una, walang umaaway sa iyo. As a matter of fact, ikaw ang nang-aaway. Pangalawa, yung bansa Kung saan ka inuluklok ng 16 million out of 100+ million people ay Third World.”  (First of all, no one’s picking a fight with you.  As a matter of fact, you are one who’s fighting.  Secondly, the country where 16 Million out of 100+ Million people elected you is Third World.)

Yesterday Duterte responded to the post by saying:

“An actress is angry with me that I am a psychopath. I leave her to her constitutional rights to free expression. She should enjoy that.”

So, there you go, Miss third-rate actress, you got your response.

Oh, and we’re sorry for calling you “third-rate.” That’s just our opinion and we’re merely exercising our constitutional right to free expression.

Philippine News Blog Rappler Accuses Facebook Of Being Undemocratic, Picks A Fight With Mocha Uson

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If you can’t lick Mocha Uson, blame Facebook.  This seems to be the expert opinion of Maria Ressa, CEO of the Philippine news blog Rappler.

Uson, for those who don’t know her, is a performer and member of the group Mocha Girls. In recent months she has turned political blogger, gaining the attention of millions of Filipino netizens and the Duterte administration.  She actively campaigned to elect Duterte and remains an avid defender of the president’s policies and actions.

Rappler, on the other hand, is a leading news blog. Many have accused it, however, as among among the biased news media in the country.   We’ll not mention the other since this is about Rappler.

But Uson seems to have overtaken Rappler in terms of “likes” and following, and Ressa is not happy.

In an opinion piece published in her own news blog, Ressa berates what she calls Facebook’s “black box” algorithm which has resulted in Uson’s popularity and Rappler’s continuing decline.

Because we are not a biased outlet, we have taken the liberty of posting in full Ressa’s attack on Facebook.

You be the judge.
