MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If you’ve received any message from Facebook that you post was taken down because it was considred spam or that it violated the social media giant’s ‘community standards,’ you can now relax.
Apparently, Facebook was hacked and the messages you’ve been getting did not originate from the social media platform.
In the Philippines, the messages were generated by some paid hackers to help insure that posts favorable to President Rodrigo Duterte or critical of the Yellow and Opposition groups were blocked from being seen on the Internet.
SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Facebook has taken down a post by a popular cooking blog, “My Bay Kitchen” (MyBayKitchen.wordpress.com) because the social media giant considered it as ‘spam.’
The post was about SPAM sushi (musubi), a popular food item in Hawaii.
In taking down the post, Facebook said it doesn’t allow posts that it considered spam or that violate its community standards.
MyBayKitchen.wordpress.com challenged the Facebook decision to no avail.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippines’ President Rodrigo Duterte has been called many names by his detractors, Human Rights groups, the news media and members of the political opposition. Among them ‘Authoritarian,’ ‘Dictator,’ and ‘Strongman.’
So, The Adobo Chronicles conducted an in-depth analysis of the case of Senator Leila De Lima who is incarcerated for several criminal charges ranging from drug trading to conspiracy to commit drug trading. Results of our analysis point to the fact that Duterte is indeed a dictator.
Here are the highlights of our analysis:
De Lima is not on solitary confinement
She has not been subjected to caning, waterboarding or other forms of torture
Lawmakers from the European Union visited her in jail on Wednesday, July 19, 2017
Duterte has not confiscated the rosary allegedly given to her by Pope Francis
She continues to have access to the news media
She writes almost daily notes, using Senate stationery, to criticize the Duterte government
She conitinues to have access to her Twitter account
The Duterte government has not cracked down on protests and rallies supporting De Lima and demanding her release from prison
She has gone public urging the Armed Forces of the Philippines to oppose Duterte’s policies and actions in connection with the country’s territorial dispute with China
This needs further fact-checking, but we’re sure she can occasionally request to be served her favorite saging na saba (banana)
What other evidence do we need to prove that Duterte is a Dictator?
