Way back in 2017 when the likes of Rappler, Vera Files and the mainstream media were accusing The Adobo Chronicles as a bearer of “fake news,” then Senator Leila de Lima was already a true believer of our satirical site. And we have proof to back this up.

In a privilege speech before her fellow senators, de Lima rose to lament the proliferation of fake news in the Philippine. In her speech, she gave credit to The Adobo Chronicles and the art of satire, while lambasting others that spread disinformation behind cooked-up sites mimicking legitimate and reputable news sites.

She knew way back then he difference between satire and sarcasm, and “fake news.”

We congratulate her on her release from incarceration!
