MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – How Senator Trillanes wished that his embarrassing interview with Stephen Sackur of BBC News were rehearsed before the live broadcast. But no such luck.
It’s a different scenario altogether in his press conferences with local Mainstream News Media. He gets to do a “Take 2,” with media folks even advising him to do it with “feeling.”
Do we see a lawsuit by Trillanes against the media person that leaked this video?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vera Files is reporting that the number of ‘Desaparecido’ cases has risen with Duterte’s war on drugs.
Desaparecido refers to forced disappearances.
In the same report, it was stated that there have been over 20,000 extra-judicial killings (EJK) in the drug war, a number that seemed to have earned compounded interest from Rappler’s earlier claim of over 7,000 EJKs.
The Adobo Chronicles spoke with Vera Files’ Ellen Tordesillas and asked her about the Desaparecido cases and she said it was a misquote.
”What we wanted to report was that there has been an increase in Despacito fans since the launch of the drug war,” she said.
She was referring to the hit song popularized by Justin Bieber and Luis Fonsi.
Ganoon naman pala eh. Vera Files has fact-checked its own news report.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Who can forget that grammatical error-ridden Press ID issued by the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO). Or Asec Mocha Uson moving Mayon Volcano to Naga. Or revising world geography be creating a new country, Norwegia?
Honest mistakes, some say, but when it becomes a pattern, then that’s a different story altogether.
In a post about the passing of former National Security Adviser Jose Rolio Golez, PCCO mistakenly identified him as Rogelio Golez. Other Mainstream News outlets also committed the same error, and we wonder if they were basing their reports on the PCOO post.
At least, PCOO posted the correct photo of Golez, and not one of this openly-gay Filipino champion boxer Roilo Golez.
