MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Adobo Chronicles was offered a front-row seat as a member of the Malacañang Press Corps (MPC), upon the urging of PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar.

Andanar said that MPC needs to have full diversity of voices — from the Mainstream Media to Internet bloggers.  “We seriously lack more light-hearted yet critical stories in order to fully reflect the day-to-day activities of the President.  The Adobo Chronicles is the best news source to fill that gap,” Andanar added.

However, The Adobo Chronicles respectfully declined the invitation from the MPC, saying  that “we can better serve the news consumers as an independent, and ethics-free organization.”
