9F964909-2AD6-4A5F-AD51-1C6460625382MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She was the darling of the press, especially among the Yellows and critics of President Rodrigo Duterte. For what could be a juicier news report than a very bright, outspoken and committed vanguard of press freedom being criminally charged and arrested multiple times?

But alas, all things must come to an end.

Rappler CEO Maria Ressa told The Adobo Chronicles that she is very disappointed at the public fascination and attention given to retired entertainer and Duterte critic Jim Paredes’ viral sex video.

”The press and the people have forgotten about me and my press freedom crusade. Jim has taken the spotlight away from me,” she said.

“Jim has also made Rappler’s hard-hitting news stories and investigative reporting seem pale and irrelevant compared to his juicy video,” Ressa added

GABRIELA Condemns ABS-CBN Show ‘Minute To Win It’

92A3EB26-FBC9-445C-9E4C-68BB2F2756F4MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – GABRIELA, the erstwhile Philippine women’s advocacy group can’t take it any longer and finally broke its silence over the hit game show on ABS-CBN, “Minute To Win It, Last Man Standing.”

The show is based on the original American game show of the same title. Contestants take part in a series of 60-second challenges that use objects that are commonly available around the house. Those who complete ten challenges would win the top prize of the show, ₱1,000,000.

In a statement issued today, GABRIELA said the show’s title is extremely discriminatory against women just because of its title which all but ignores women.

Asked what show title should be used for the game show, a spokesperson for GABRIELA said her group will be happy with “Minute To Win It: Last Person Standing.”

Moral of the story: always be politically correct.
