Jover Laurio Sues Raissa Robles For Plagiarism

919D58C9-860E-4F6C-962B-5D88A1232FAEMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Blogger and self-proclaimed investigative journalist Raissa Robles is in deep trouble.  She is being sued for plagiarism by Pinoy Ako Blog’s Jover Laurio.

The lawsuit stems from several posts by Robles in which she copies Laurio’s patented word, ‘resibo.’

It is common knowledge that Laurio originated the word to refer to proof or documental evidence of accusations she posts on her blog.

Robles stole the word to use in her posts claiming that Cambridge Analytica helped Rodrigo Duterte get elected president in 2016.

Robredo said she sees nothing wrong with the photo, first posted online by Ifugao Representative Teddy Baguilat, Jr.

“Eh wala namang nakalibing doon, so anong problema?” (Nobody’s buried there, so what’s the problem?)

“What so disrespectful about that,” she added.

Dear Madam, that’s why it’s called Holocaust Memorial, not Holocaust Cemetery.

Senator Bam Aquino Says It Was He Who Recommended Rappler And Vera Files To Facebook

96264691-E586-4D8F-88FA-2CAFB87E0B26.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Subject to fact-checking by Rappler and Vera Files) – Senator Bam Aquino is infamous for being a credit grabber.  Remember when he went around the country proclaiming that he was the author of the free education bill?  Well, the facts would speak for themselves.

Now, Aquino is once again grabbing credit by saying that he was the one solely responsible for the designation of Rappler and Vera Files as Facebook’s partners in the fact-checking program in the Philippines.

”It was my video chat with Mark Zuckerberg that convinced him that Facebook partner with Maria Ressa and Ellen Tordesillas,” Aquino told The Adobo Chronicles.

Truth be told, subject of course to fact-checking by Rappler and Vera Files.
