MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It was reminiscent of rumors that government opponents were electrocuted during the days of Martial Law, or that fraternities resorted to this practice during hazing.

Today, Malacañang zapped former newsman Jay Sonza for spreading fake news that former opposition presidential candidate and Senator Mar Roxas was appointed this administration’s Agriculture Secretary.

The Adobo Chronicles tried to reach Sonza to check on his condition but we were not able to reach him.
