Elon Musk’s Offer To Buy Twitter Sending Jitters To Philippine Political Opposition!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter for $41 Billion is sending jitters to many Filipinos who use the popular social media platform for their propaganda, false narratives and self-promotion.

Apparently, most of the concerned Twitterettes are politicians, celebrities and media with connections to the opposition and the pinklawan. These include:

Rappler

ABS-CBN

TV5

Kris Aquino

Rowena Guanzon

Sharon Cuneta

Kakie Pangilinan

Jover Laurio

Francis Baraan IV

Raissa Robles

…and many more.

One of their further concerns is that Musk may also try to buy Facebook, thereby totally cutting the pinklawan off their echo chambers.

Nobel Laureate Maria Ressa Reports Live From The War Zone In Ukraine!

Leave a comment

BUCHA, Ukraine (The Adobo Chronicles, Moscow Bureau) – The Philippines may no longer be the worst war zone Maria Ressa has ever been in. (Many will recall that it is how how she described her own country in interviews with foreign news media.)

The Nobel laureate and CEO of Rappler, the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines, was seen covering the aftermath of a Russian assault on Bucha in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

Ressa immediately flew to Ukraine following her recent testimony before the U.S. Senate and meetings with American top officials on the state of freedom of expression in Asia.

We pray for the safety of this courageous woman and others covering the conflict.

Harvard University Declares Rowena Guanzon ”Alumna Non Grata!”

10 Comments

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (The Adobo Chronicles, Cambridge Bureau) – It is one of the credentials she has been brandishing, but now, Ex-Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon may have to strike it out from her curriculum vitae.

Today, Guanzon’s alma mater, Harvard University officially declared her ” alumna non grata,” the academic equivalent of persona non grata.

The decision of the university’s board of regents was a result of recent activities and public appearances of Guanzon which all but denigrate the highest standards and reputation held by Harvard.

Since her retirement from Comelec, Guanzon has been using her Twitter account to spread inanities, making many question her psychological state of mind. She has also been appearing at campaign rallies of Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo, screaming non-sensical memes and slogans mostly directed at former Senator Bongbong Marcos.

In response to a query from The Adobo Chronicles, a university spokesperson said Guanzon’s name has been deleted from Harvard’s roster of alumni. He also said Guanzon’s tirades against Marcos goes against the university’s motto of ”Veritas,” meaning ”Truth.”
