SEC Approves Rappler-Adobo Chronicles Merger

65D5FF85-C574-4D5D-828E-0C789436E5DEMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler seems to be gaining favor with The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), thanks to The Adobo Chronicles.

Many will recall that SEC previously revoked Rappler’s media license because it violated the Constitutional provision that media companies in the Philippines must be 100% Filipino-owned.

But now, SEC has approved the merger of RAPPLER and ADOBO CHRONICLES as a pseudo media entity.

In a meeting among major stakeholders of the two companies, they have agreed to name the new satirical cum news agency as ADOBONG RAPPLER.

Leni Robredo Does A Mocha Uson

9729A2F5-E02E-4E1E-8687-52EC108B66ABQUEZON CITY, Philippines  (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Remember when Mocha Uson ‘moved’ Mayon Volcano to Naga? Well, Vice President Leni Robredo just did a Mocha Uson by moving Iloilo City out of Iloilo, the province.

The Robredo camp has asked that Iloilo City be excluded from the ongoing 2016 VP Elections ballot recount, arguing that Iloilo City is separate from Iloilo.

So now Filipinos are wondering if Baguio City is not really part of Benguet Province or if Quezon City should be excluded from Metro Manila.

So where is Iloilo? In Camarines Sur?
