142BEF28-46AC-40F9-8A98-0944D9AF7C13MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) –With 17 days left for its goal of Five Million Pesos, Rappler has decided to purchase about a dozen PCOS machines to help boost its fundraising for its online news operations.

Rappler has been struggling to reach its goal, raising only about 12 percent as of today.

So much is at stake for this fundraising — reputation as well as finances — that CEO Maria Ressa is leaving no stone unturned to make this a huge success.

We all know about the PCOS machines used in the last Philippine presidential elections.  The machinese have reportedly boosted the votes of some candidates, including Leni Robredo whose Vice Presidency is now being challenged before the Presidential Election Tribunal (PET) by defeated candidate Bongbong Marcos.

Poll watchers will be closely monitoring any suspicious increase in the amount of donations under the Rappler fundraising in the next 17 days, to make sure that the PCOS machines do not tamper with the actual figures.

NoyNoy Aquino Returning To The Senate!

7AB60298-C93F-447D-957F-B106A9ACF18AMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – And you thought you were done with NoyNoy Aquino when he stepped down as President in 2016. Think again.

Reliable sources have informed The Adobo Chronicles that the ex-President is indeed returning to the Senate.

But not as a Senator.  Rather, as a witness in the ongoing Senate investigation on the Dengue vaccine mess.

Many will recall that it was during PNoy’s administration that the controversial (and now potentially unsafe) vaccine Dengvaxia was approved under the government’s Dengue immunization program without the appropriate recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO)

Aquino reportedly wants to tell the truth at the Senate investigation.

But can he handle the truth?

89033FF0-CB16-46E3-8BFE-8A976A283101.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s the irony of ironies.  Pinoy Ako Blog’s (PAB) Jover Laurio is about to join her prime nemesis, Sass Rogando Sasot in The Netherlands.

Semi-reliable sources have told The Adobo Chronicles that Laurio has applied for political asylum in The Netherlands, claiming that she has been a victim of vicious, insulting and embarassing  attacks from pro-Duterte bloggers and supporters. “They have even attacked my facial attributes,” she added.

Her flight out of the Philippines was confirmed by no less than herself, when she posted on her social media account, bidding “goodbye” to her fans and supporters.

Best of luck to you, Jover. Hopefully, you don’t cross paths with Sasot while you’re there. (Although that would be a very juicy story for The Adobo Chronicles.)
