ABS-CBN Renames Its New Prime-Time TV Series From “The Junketeers” To “The Apologists”
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Not Subject To Fact-checking by Rappler – ABS-CBN has just announced that it was renaming its new prime-time TV series, “The Junketeers.”
The new show features Vice President Leni Robredo and other politicians and former government officials on their exciting journey through cities in Europe.

Robredo later apologized for the insensitivity of the photo shoot. And so did Ifugao Congressman Ted Baguilat Jr. who first posted the Holocaust Memorial photo on his social media account.
Soon thereafter, ABS-CBN decided to rename the series, “The Apologists”

”We need to take the time before we can make that determination,” Ressa said. “First, we need to fact-check The Manila Times. What are we in power for?
Rappler’s got werpa!
