MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vogue Philippines’ April issue featuring Whang-od on the cover was such a phenomenal success that the magazine is following it up with another avant-garde idea, this time a tribute to the country’s top Marites (gossip-mongers, trolls).

Self-proclaimed investigative journalist Raissa Robles and Vlogger Jover Laurio of the Pinoy Ako Blog fame, will grace the magazine’s May cover.

The extra-special issue features in-depth articles including “Rebirth of Style,” and “Fantasy Fashion.”

“It’s about time we recognize our social media influencers,” editors at Vogue told The Adobo Chronicles.

ChatGPT Stealing Jobs From Journalists, Songwriters, Book Authors, Film Makers!

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Anyone can now become an instant journalist, songwriter, book author or film maker, thanks to ChatGPT.

ChatGPT’s advanced capabilities have created a huge demand with the ‘app’ accumulating over 100 million users within two months of launching. One of the biggest standout features has been its ability to compose all sorts of text within seconds, including songs, poems, bedtime stories, and essays. 

As a result, many professionals are losing their jobs, and they are fighting back!

The Adobo Chronicles has learned that a worldwide coalition of the affected professions is now in the process of filing a class-action lawsuit against the makers of the app.

The lawsuit cites multiple violations including copyright infringement, plagiarism, unfair business practices; and is seeking trillions of dollars in compensation.

Anyone who wishes to join the class-action suit may contact NoChatGPT@ aol.com. Utmost patience is needed to get through requests and messages since the designated email uses dial-up technology — a big contrast to what ChatGPT can do in just seconds!

In Supreme Court Appeal, Maria Ressa Claims Rappler Is Satire, A Protected Free Speech!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philipppines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler CEO Maria Ressa has filed an amendment brief to her case before the Supreme Court in which she is appealing the decision of the lower courts to convict her of cyber libel.

The Court of Appeals in its October 10 decision upheld its earlier ruling that affirmed a lower court’s conviction, and added eight months to her six-year jail sentence.

Ressa and former Rappler researcher and writer Reynaldo Santos were convicted in June 2020 in a cyber libel case brought by a businessman over an online article in 2012 by Rappler that linked him to illegal activities.

In the amendment brief filed by her lawyers, Ressa claimed that her online new source, Rappler, is a satirical site and as such is protected by the universal principle of free speech.

Ressa’s claim boomerangs on an earlier article published by Rappler, saying that The Adobo Chronicles is NOT satire and borders more on “fake news.”
