MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) –Subject to fact-checking by Rappler and Vera Files – Anti-Duterte retired entertainer Jim Paredes was deported back to Australia at dawn this morning. But it was all in error.
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested Paredes and put him on the first available flight from NAIA to Sydney.
Apparently, overly-eager BI employees mistook Paredes as the Australian who was reported to be engaged in anti-government activities in violation of the Philippine Constitution. Foreign citizens are expressly prohibited to engage in such activities while in the country. Paredes holds Australian citizenship.
The real Australian concerned in the report turned out to be a 71-year-old nun, Sister Patricia Fox.
As he was being escorted to his plane, Paredes kept on shouting, “Look at me, look at me. Do I look like a 71-year-old nun?”
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Blogger and self-proclaimed investigative journalist Raissa Robles is in deep trouble. She is being sued for plagiarism by Pinoy Ako Blog’s Jover Laurio.
The lawsuit stems from several posts by Robles in which she copies Laurio’s patented word, ‘resibo.’
It is common knowledge that Laurio originated the word to refer to proof or documental evidence of accusations she posts on her blog.
Robles stole the word to use in her posts claiming that Cambridge Analytica helped Rodrigo Duterte get elected president in 2016.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Subject to fact-checking by Rappler and Vera Files – Back from her junket to Europe, with other politicians including Senator Kiko Pangilinan, Vice President Leni Robredo defended the viral group photo showing her and her group posing and smiling at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany.
Robredo said she sees nothing wrong with the photo, first posted online by Ifugao Representative Teddy Baguilat, Jr.
“Eh wala namang nakalibing doon, so anong problema?” (Nobody’s buried there, so what’s the problem?)
“What so disrespectful about that,” she added.
Dear Madam, that’s why it’s called Holocaust Memorial, not Holocaust Cemetery.
