MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Self-proclaimed investigative writer Raissa Robles is putting her face where her mouth is.

In a recent tweet, she complained about President Bongbong Marcos “going around maskless as if there is no more pandemic.” Marcos recently signed an executive order making the wearing of face masks voluntary in some public places.

In protest, and to stand by her tweet, Robles changed her profile photo, covering her entire face with a surgical face mask.

A true patriot, this Robles.

Some netizens commented that they hope Robles’ new profile photo becomes permanent.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s been much ado about nothing, this honorary doctorate degree given by Ateneo de Manila University to former Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo.

Honorary degrees are now known as a celebratory gesture and hold no weight in society, though some recipients use the Ph.D title and add it to their curriculum vitae, despite being urged not to do so.

So, don’t get excited if you or anyone you know and look up do receives an honorary Ph.D. Even puppets get them. Literally!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles,Manila Bureau) – Rappler, the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines whose CEO Maria Ressa is a convicted criminal, has finally found its niche!

After its media license was revoked by the Securities and Exchange Commission for violation of the foreign ownership regulations, Rappler announced it was shifting its business to astrology.

Its initial post on its website was an article on Sara Duterte in which the author speculated on the character, personality and other traits of the Vice President, whose astrological sign is Gemini.

By shifting to astrology, Rappler does not need a special license from SEC because there is no law regulating foreign ownership of the astrology business.

All’s well that ends well!
