NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) -Actress Carrie Fisher, best known for her role as Princess Leia in “Star Wars,” knows for sure that Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s constant sniffling during the last two debates were due to coke.
Fisher claims to be a coke expert.
“I know a Coca-Cola drinker when I see one,” Fisher said. I, too, drink a lot of coke.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If you can’t lick Mocha Uson, blame Facebook. This seems to be the expert opinion of Maria Ressa, CEO of the Philippine news blog Rappler.
Uson, for those who don’t know her, is a performer and member of the group Mocha Girls. In recent months she has turned political blogger, gaining the attention of millions of Filipino netizens and the Duterte administration. She actively campaigned to elect Duterte and remains an avid defender of the president’s policies and actions.
Rappler, on the other hand, is a leading news blog. Many have accused it, however, as among among the biased news media in the country. We’ll not mention the other since this is about Rappler.
But Uson seems to have overtaken Rappler in terms of “likes” and following, and Ressa is not happy.
In an opinion piece published in her own news blog, Ressa berates what she calls Facebook’s “black box” algorithm which has resulted in Uson’s popularity and Rappler’s continuing decline.
Because we are not a biased outlet, we have taken the liberty of posting in full Ressa’s attack on Facebook.
You be the judge.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Senator Leila De Lima is sick and tired of being accused and implicated in the illegal drug trade inside the National Bilibid Prison (National Penitentiary) during her tenure as Secretary of Justice.
“I can’t take it anymore,” she said as she formally submitted her resignation from the country’s upper legislative chamber. “I’m sorry to disappoint the millions of Filipinos who voted for me.”
It turns out that De Lima was appointed the first female pastor of the Catholic Church in a special dispensation issued by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.
While De Lima’s appointment is valid in the Philippines, it does not have official sanction from The Vatican.
Last Sunday, hundreds of Catholics attended De Lima’s first mass in Manila where she delivered her first homily (see photo.)
