REUTERS/OXFORD MEDIA TRUST SURVEY: Rappler Moves To The Top!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Reuters Institute at the University of Oxford has just released its latest media trust survey for the Philippines.

Moving to the top among PH news brands is Rappler, owned by convicted criminal Maria Ressa.

Last year, Rappler was second on top, next only to the tabloid Bulgar.

TOP BOTTOM, that is.

Compromise Reached on New Malacañang Press Corps!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Incoming Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles is proving her diplomatic mettle in her decision to accommodate both mainstream news media and bloggers/vloggers in as far as membership in the Malacañang Press Corps is concerned.

The elite news media have not been receptive to the idea of including bloggers/vloggers in the MPC.

So in a brilliant compromise, Cruz-Angeles has decided to create two separate MPCs.

The bloggers/vloggers will be accredited as the Malacañang Press Corps while the mainstream news media will now be known as the Malacañang Press Corpse.

Problem solved!

Bongbong Marcos Philippine President Till 2043?

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Like father, like son. Will presumptive president Bongbong Marcos lead the Philippines for decades?

This, if we believe a statement from Manuel Quezon III, grandson of the the second president of the Republic.

In a quote card published by the Inquirer, Quezon talked about the ”role of the first lady we will have in 21 years,” in what appeared to be in reference to Bongbong’s wife, Liza Araneta-Marcos

Under the 1987 Philippine Constitution, the term of the elected President is 6 years, without reelection.

Is Martial Law, or Federalism in the offing?
