Free Coffee Mugs From Rappler To The First 7,080 Lucky Followers

687D5BEF-BF16-4F47-9F7F-DE92E78FE6EDMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The ongoing rift between Rappler and The Adobo Chronicles is finally coming to an end, thanks to the intervention by Ellen Tordesillas of Vera Files.

The rift started when Maria Ressa and her Raplerettes tweeted that The Adobo Chronicles can’t tell the difference between fake news and satire.  Rappler has also been fact-checking posts by The Adobo Chronicles.

It was not until Tordesillas chided Ressa, pointing out that The Adobo Chronicles is indeed satire that Ressa finally realized her ignorance. A very sisterly advice from Tordesillas.

So, to celebrate the end of the rift, Rappler is giving away free coffee mugs to the first 7,080 Filipinos who will email them and request for this free item. (7,080 represents the number that Rappler has been spreading on the extra-judicial killings under President Duterte’s war on drugs.)

This give-away was made possible by Omidyar Network which recently donated it $1.5 Million investment in Rappler to the online news source’s senior managers, including Ressa.

SEC Approves Rappler-Adobo Chronicles Merger

65D5FF85-C574-4D5D-828E-0C789436E5DEMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler seems to be gaining favor with The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), thanks to The Adobo Chronicles.

Many will recall that SEC previously revoked Rappler’s media license because it violated the Constitutional provision that media companies in the Philippines must be 100% Filipino-owned.

But now, SEC has approved the merger of RAPPLER and ADOBO CHRONICLES as a pseudo media entity.

In a meeting among major stakeholders of the two companies, they have agreed to name the new satirical cum news agency as ADOBONG RAPPLER.

Rappler To Merge With The Adobo Chronicles

65D5FF85-C574-4D5D-828E-0C789436E5DE.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There’s a thin line between satire and fake news, so it just makes sense that The Adobo Chronicles and Rappler have agreed to merge.

The Adobo Chronicles’ satire and Rappler’s fake news make the perfect combination that will bring news media to the 22nd Century.

What’s more, news satire is not considered media by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), so the merged company will not be in violation of the Constitutional provision that media companies must be 100% Filipino owned.

That means Omidyar Network and other interested foreign entities can invest in the merged company.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the future of media in the Philippines!
