MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Maria Ressa once again took the Duterte Administration to task shortly after being released on bail. The Rappler CEO was arrested Wednesday for charges of cyber libel and spent the night in jail.
She decried this latest government action against her and said it was an attack on Fresh Freedom.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As expected, Senator Antonio Trillanes was quick to react to the arrest of Rappler CEO Maria Ressa on charges on Cyber Libel.
Trillanes said that “Ressa’s arrest exposes Duterte’s ‘despotic regime.’
The arrest order was issued by Regional Trial Court presiding judge Rainelda H. Estacio-Montesa.
But when The Adobo Chronicles informed Trillanes that Estacio-Montesa was actually an appointee of NoyNoy Aquino, the Senator immediately apologized to Duterte, and focused his attack on the former President instead.
”I was too quick to judge,” Trillanes said, “and I’m very sorry. I hope Duterte would forgive me. I get carried away sometimes, especially when I hear Ressa’s monologues about suppression of Press Freedom.”
No word yet from Malacañang whether or not Trillanes is forgiven.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – U.S. President Donald Trump isn’t a bit worried that Congress will not give him the funds needed to build his great wall along the southern border. He has repeatedly said that he is going to build that wall no matter what.
Today, The White House announced that Trump has decided to outsource the building of pre-fabricated walls to the Philippines.
”It will not only greatly reduce our costs, but will also further enhance the economic partnership between the U.S. and its former colony,” a White House spokesperson said.
The pre-fabricated walls will be made of Philippine bamboo.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte confirmed the agreement with Trump, saying that it is all part of his government’s “Build, build, build” program.
