We Stand For Truth; Hopefully Sass Rogando Sasot Will, Too

  • Anti-Marcos transgender blogger Sass Rogando Sasot has called out her critics for using a photo of her dead brother to portray her when she has not yet transitioned. We, at The Adobo Chronicles, have, unfortunately, done the same, and we apologize.

But in the interest of truth and accuracy, we are now re-publishing a post by no less than Sasot herself where she included a self photo before she transitioned. The fact remains that she was a man before she became a woman. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

We just hope that Sasot will also stand for truth and accuracy when blogging about the politicians she criticizes, notably the Marcoses. We have known her to be more respectable and smart than the likes of Maharlika whom she now allies with to spread disinformation about the Philippine government which she had hoped, but failed to be part of.

To be respected, one must also learn to respect.

Are Sara Duterte and DepEd Now “Hall Of Famers?”

In the latest episode of “The Cabinet Chronicles,” the conspicuous absence of Vice President Sara Duterte from the rankings of a survey raises eyebrows faster than a politician’s promise before elections. Is the Department of Education, helmed by Duterte, now deemed a VIP-only club? Or perhaps, Duterte’s department ascended to the pantheon of “Hall of Famers,” exempt from scrutiny? 

Alternatively, did the survey hit a snag with its funding, accidentally dipping into Duterte’s confidential funds, hence a conflict of interest? Or perhaps, were the pollsters afraid that Duterte topping the survey is a foregone conclusion, or flipping the coin, will rank lower than her colleagues?

Whatever the reason, it’s a comedy of errors that even a fifth-grader could unravel. With such a glaring oversight, the survey risks becoming a punchline rather than a pinnacle of public opinion. 

In the grand theater of politics, this latest act is more farce than fact, leaving Filipinos shaking their heads and wondering if they stumbled into a political satire instead of a serious assessment.
