MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Will Maria Ressa soon join the ranks of people led by Vice President Leni Robredo who are facing accusations of sedition?
Possibly.
But the irony of ironies is that the Rappler CEO may have set herself up for a possible sedition charge.
In a recent interview with The Financial Times (FT), Ressa said “it would be great if we didn’t have to fight our government.”
Sedition is defined as action or language that incites people to oppose or fight their duly-constituted government.
By admitting that she is fighting the government, Ressa all but provided Exhibit A that could be used against her in the court of law.
Ressa likes to say, “A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.”
If Ressa keeps repeating what she told FT, it may just become the truth.

In speaking with The Adobo Chronicles, Ganados said the idea is to take the designs of dresses worn by famous Filipinas and showcase them to the world, just like former Philippine First Lady showcased the terno.
The top designs for Ganados’ national costume were inspired by no less than Vice President Leni Robredo.
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – They’re supposed to be allies, but one is now ridiculing the other for flimsy, clothing issues.
The University of the Philippines (UP) and the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) are both known for breeding activists and are the poster schools for student protests.
But when PUP students launched a protest against a new dress code and staged a mass activity throwing out their clothes from the university’s upper floors, UP students laughed it off.
“When we protest, we take all our clothes off,” a UP student leader said. He was referring to the annual Oblation Run in which members of a fraternity run around the campus naked to protest national issues.
In response, a PUP student leader said the naked run is nothing that UP can be proud of. “It’s all hype: lots of small thingy’s and masked and ashamed faces “ he said.
