MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Quite oddly, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) released its list of fake websites at the same time that The Adobo Chronicles debuted its list of presstitutes.
This twin release will definitely help Filipino netizens determine the authenticity of what they are reading on the Internet or encountering in the media and other organizations.
When in doubt, refer to this twin guide:
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – When Filipino Catholics attend services this Sunday, they will listen to the reading of a “historic” pastoral letter issued by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
Rappler is reporting that the CBCP is urging Catholics to stop spreading fake news as it is a “sin against charity.”
What Rappler is not reporting is that the bishops are issuing a second pastoral letter to be read next Sunday condemning presstitutes, noting that they are committing a “sin against faith.”
(Faith, Hope and Charity are three theological virtues espoused by the Catholic Church.)
Many pro-Duterte bloggers have discredited both legitimate journalists and anti-Duterte bloggers as “presstitutes” for their bias, faux investigative reporting and spreading of fake headlines and photographs. Among the so-called presstitutes are Rappler, The Inquirer, GMA-7, ABS-CBN and bloggers like Raissa Robles, Cynthia Patag, Leah Navarro and Jim Paredes.
The second pastoral letter argues that presstitutes destroy the people’s faith in the truth and the basic tenets of fair, balanced and accurate reporting.
The letter urges all Catholics who have been following and reading news from the presstitutes to go to the Confessional Box at their first opportunity.
Coincidentally, The Adobo Chronicles has issued its own list of presstitutes as a public service to its readers and followers.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Both Raissa Robles and The Adobo Chronicles have reason to celebrate these days.
The U.S. Library of Congress has purchased copies of Robles’ book, “Marcos Martial Law: Never Again” and the book version of The Adobo Chronicles.
The purchase is a great honor for the Philippines.
Robles announced the good news on her Twitter account, while The Adobo Chronicles is yet to formally announce the purchase.
The library bought one copy of Robles book, and 100 copies of The Adobo Chronicles.
Visitors to the library in Washington, D.C. will be able to check out both books beginning July 1. First come, first served of course.
