SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – In a direct rebuke to Maria Ressa and Rappler, Twitter owner Elon Musk just endorsed The Adobo Chronicles and welcomed the satire site to his socmed platform.

It will be recalled that Rappler and Maria Ressa previously posted an opinion piece alleging that AC is fake news, not satire.

It seems Musk has a much better understanding of humor and satire than the supposedly learned Ressa and her paid Rapplerettes.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It was a family photo to behold. Not just a family photo, but a photo of the First Family.

First Lady Liza Marcos posted on her socmed account a photo of the Marcos clan with a birthday greeting for Imelda Marcos who just celebrated her 94th birthday.

But the excitement turned into hashtags by netizens who noticed who’s in the photo and who’s not.

The trending hashtags include:

#NasaanSiImee (Where is Imee Marcos)

#NasaanSiSandro (Where is Sandro Marcos)

#SinoYungIbangNasaRetrato (Who the hell are the others in the photo)

Well, maybe if Liza Marcos reads this, she’ll oblige with a response.

MANILA, Philippines (Manila Bureau) – While Bb. Maharlika is desperately spreading trashy gossip about the occupants in Malacañang, major vloggers who were once united in defending former President Rodrigo Duterte are now throwing barbs at each other.

It seems social influence in the Philippines has morphed into who is the smartest, the most knowledgeable and the most credentialed among the major vloggers.

Dionne Warwick’s “That’s What Friends Are For” means nothing in the on-going battle of the bulging egos among Thinking Pinoy, Sass Rogando Sasot and Cocky Rocky.

Their respective followers are left on their own to decide on who is right and who is wrong but what’s entertaining is that netizens are not getting the socio-political influence they seek from their Lodis (Idols). It reminds them of the ongoing rift among the noon-time TV shows where personalities, not issues, rule!
