MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Leni Robredo is not happy about the P95 Million reduction in the 2019 Budget of the Office of the Vice President, and she is filing a formal protest.
Under the P3.757 Trillion national budget proposed for 2019, the OVP will receive P447.6 Million which is almost P100 Million reduction from its 2018 budget.
In lodging her protest, Robredo said: “Paano na yung pa-merienda ko sa mga reporters or my foreign speaking enagements? Naunsyami tuloy yung plan to revisit the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.” (What happens now for the refreshments I offer to reporters, my foreign speaking engagements and my plan to revisit the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin?)
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines’ Court of Appeals (CA) has just about had it with Rappler’s manipulation of its recent decision denying the online news source’s petition for a reversal of the SEC ruling revoking its media license.
Since the Court issued its ruling, Rappler has been publishing headlines and stories claiming that the Court has sided with Maria Ressa’s company, that the Court has said that SEC was wrong in revoking Rappler’s license, and that SEC was ordered to reconsider its revocation order — all of which are farthest from the truth.
So today the CA has issued a restraining order for Rappler to shut up and stop misinterpreting the 72-page Court decision.
Will the Court also issue another order for Rappler to shut down?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After all the misinformation that Rappler has been publishing regarding the Court of Appeals (CA) decision denying its petition to reverse the SEC’s revocation of its media license, one thing stands out: CA is actually siding with the online news source.
In arguments before the court, Rappler insisted that it is not a media company and is therefore not subject to the Constitutional provision regarding 100% Filipino ownership.
So, in a separate but still unpublished ruling, the CA said that it agrees 100% with Rappler that it is not a media company. “Therefore,” the Court said, “Rappler must now wrap up its online news operations, shut down for good and concentrate on whatever non-media business it is operating.”
