Adobo Chronicles’ Person Of The Year: SANDRO MARCOS

Leave a comment

President Bongbong Marcos, Jr. could have easily been our hands-down choice for this year’s Person of the Year. What with his rock-star status during the last presidential campaign which led to the world-shocking come back of the Marcoses to Malacañang.

But another Marcos all but sidelined the former senator — his own son Sandro who was the bigger rock star in all the campaign sorties and public events attended by the family.

Not even Bongbong will challenge our choice, we believe! Not even when it comes to who’s more easy on the eyes.

Maria Ressa Wants “Cease and Desist” Order Against Leni Robredo!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – No one messes with a Nobel Laureate, not even ex-Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo.

In a petition filed yesterday before a Manila Regional Trial Court, convicted criminal Maria Ressa asked that a “Cease and Desist” order be issued against Robredo.

Of late, Robredo has been making the rounds of public fora here and abroad, talking about disinformation in the Philippines — a battle cry that Ressa has been espousing for many years.

“It hurts Ressa’s ego that a defeated presidential candidate would suddenly take up an advocacy that has won her the Nobel Peace Prize,” a source close to the Rappler CEO told The Adobo Chronicles.

In her petition, Ressa said that Robredo does not have the proper credentials to be talking about disinformation.

No response from the Robredo camp as of press time.

Maria Ressa Reveals Her Real Age On National Television!

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – How old is Maria Ressa, really? Just like her citizenship status, information on the Nobel Laureate’s age has been hard to come buy, fueling a lot of speculation especially on social media.

Finally, the convicted criminal-CEO of Rappler, the least-trusted news brand in the Philippines, gave the clearest clue on how old she is — on national television!

During a live television interview on CBS, Ressa told one of the hosts that she has been talking about truth since 1927, “long before the age of exponential lies and long before the age of social media.”

1927 — that’s less than a decade since World War II ended!

Which means she must have been at least 25 years old when she talked about truth in 1927.

Ergo, Ressa must now be 121 years old, more than two decades older than former Philippine Senator Juan Ponce Enrile.

Here’s Ressa talking about her age:
