MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In a stunning move that raised eyebrows and lowered expectations, the Marcos administration has appointed Undersecretary Cesar Chavez as the new presidential assistant for fake news. 

Chavez, renowned for his Photoshop prowess, recently demonstrated his skills by posting a doctored document on Facebook, proclaiming December 22 as a half-day, non-working holiday. Citizens eagerly embraced the news, only to discover it was a product of Chavez’s vivid imagination.

The Palace, already resembling a circus with its surplus of presidential assistants, justified the move by highlighting the urgent need for a dedicated purveyor of misinformation. 

Apparently, the Marcos administration believes that fabricating holidays is the key to solving the nation’s real problems. Critics argue that the appointment reflects a commitment to alternative realities rather than addressing pressing issues. 

As the nation grapples with genuine challenges, Chavez’s elevation to the realm of fake news czardom underscores the administration’s curious sense of priorities.
