MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – One big difference between Duterte critics Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and retired entertainer Jim Paredes is that Ressa will not give up her dual citizenship no matter what.
But Paredes is the opposite. He told The Adobo Chronicles he is happy to let go of one of his citizenships if only to show the world that he is truly sorry about that viral sex video which has brought shame and scandal to both his (dual) citizenships.
”Today, I am announcing that I will voluntarily renounce my senior citizenship in order to protect the dignity and reputation of my country’s senior citizens,” Paredes, 67, said.
