MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It must have been a slow news day at Rappler, the online news source headed by convicted CEO albeit controversial recipient of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize Maria Ressa.

Rappler, one of the designated Facebook —well Meta — fact checkers in the Philippines, went all out to dispel a viral post claiming that a 16th century astrologer, physician and reputed seer Michel de Nostredame (better known as Nostradamus) predicted that former Senator Bongbong Marcos will become President of his country.

Rappler described the claim as ”false.”

Here’s hoping that Rappler will also fact-check and dispel posts claiming that Vice President Leni Robredo was with Jesus Christ during the biblical story on the multiplication of bread and fish.
