252B7E65-8631-4D5C-B36A-B6B081B179DAMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As reported earlier by the mainstream media, the office of Senator Bam Aquino has reported to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) identity theft and hacking incidents to supposedly try and implicate opposition senators in a destabilization plot against President Rodrigo Duterte.

Both the NBI and AFP were quick to investigate the hacking incidents and came up with their initial findings.

Apparently, the password for Aquino’s social media and email accounts were  easily retrieved by the hackers because it was so easy and predictable to guess.  Aquino had used the same password for all his accounts.

The password was: HelloKitty12345.

Well, even non-hackers would have guessed that!

C290339D-F10F-4FFF-AF58-E7B792BBC4A7.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For the longest time, ex-President NoyNoy Aquino has remained silent regarding accusations of extra-judicial killings (EJKs) attributed to Duterte’s war on drugs.

Today, just days after the Supreme Court ruled to keep Senator Leila De Lima in jail and just hours after the House of Representatives voted to impeach Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Chair Andy Bautista, Aquino has come out for the first time to defend his successor.

To anyone who cries, “EJKs,” the former president has this to say:

”Buhay ka pa naman, di ba?’ (You’re still alive, aren’t you?)

In Its News Headline, Rappler Uses Wrong Philippine Air Lines (PAL) Logo

80643F97-17C4-4A01-91D1-CD3149A73618MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Remember when the Phlippine News Agency (PNA) used the wrong logo of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for  its news story?

Yes, that was the news story that used the logo of Dole, the pineapple company, instead of that of the government agency.

Well, this time it was Rappler that made a booboo.

In its headline story about Philippine Airlines (PAL) paying up on the billions its owed the government, Rappler used the wrong logo.  It used that of the U.S.-based online payment company, PayPal.

But at least, Rappler conveyed the correct message that PAL paid.
