MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Yesterday, The Adobo Chroniclesreported on a national survey which showed that “16 out of 100 million Filipinos opposed President Rodrigo Duterte’s declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao.
We were wrong, and we sincerely apologize.
There are actually 17, not 16 Filipinos, who are opposed to the Mindanao Martial Law.
We inadevertently forgot to count Senator Bam Aquino among the survey respondents who expressed disapproval of Martial Law in Mindanao.
Apparently, during our tabulation, our vision was impaired because of the bright yellow t-shirt worn by the senator. It was too glaring for our tabulators.
The ouster resolution was signed by the top leaders of the party. It happened at around 2pm today while Robredo was reportedly taking a nap at her office in Quezon City.
Signers of the resolution included Chairman Emeritus – Former President Benigno Aquino; Chairman – Senator Franklin Drilon; Vice Chair – Representative Feliciano Belmonte, Jr.; President – Senator Francis Pangilinan; Vice President for Policy -Representative Henedina R. Abad; Treasurer- Governor Alfonso Umali, Jr. (Oriental Mindoro); Secretary-General – Representative Josephine Ramirez-Sato (Occidental Mindoro).
“By supporting Duterte’s declaration of Martial Law, Robredo contradicted the position of the Liberal Party 🎉 . It makes us stupid and fragmented in the eyes of the Filipino people,” the resolution said. “We cannot continue to keep a balimbing (turncoat) in our ranks.”
Moral of the story: Never take a nap during office hours.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The National Union of Journalists of the Phlippines (NUJP), has rejected the membership applications of Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and blogger (and self-proclaimed investigative journalist) Raissa Robles.
In a unanimous decision by NUJP’s board of directors — composed mostly of staff from the Inquirer, GMA-7 and ABS-CBN — the membership application rejections were based on:
Rappler’s status as a foreign-funded news organization which is a violation of the Philippine Constitution
Robles’ status as a biased blogger as evidenced by her anti-Duterte social media posts and anti-Marcos sentiments expressed in her book, “Martial Law: Never Again.”
NUJP said that the board, in rejecting the two membership applications, was clear on maintaining the professionalism and integrity of the Fourth Estate and that it cannot “tarnish the good image of the Philippine news media by admitting Ressa and Robles as members.”
Both Ressa and Robles declined to comment on the NUJP decision when contacted by The Adobo Chronicles.
