Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It must have been a slow news day at Rappler, the online news source headed by convicted CEO albeit controversial recipient of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize Maria Ressa.

Rappler, one of the designated Facebook —well Meta — fact checkers in the Philippines, went all out to dispel a viral post claiming that a 16th century astrologer, physician and reputed seer Michel de Nostredame (better known as Nostradamus) predicted that former Senator Bongbong Marcos will become President of his country.

Rappler described the claim as ”false.”

Here’s hoping that Rappler will also fact-check and dispel posts claiming that Vice President Leni Robredo was with Jesus Christ during the biblical story on the multiplication of bread and fish.

MANILA, PHilippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As new cases of Covid-19 in the Philippines seem to be going down, the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) has moved to relax some of its quarantine restrictions.

In addition to limited face-to-face school classes, IATF also announced it will no longer require the mandatory use of face shields in public with a few exceptions for areas under Alert Level 5 and in medical settings.

Today, IATF also announced that it will now also allow face-to-face dating regardless of Alert Level.

The move is welcome news for couples who have restricted their dating to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Grindr.

”At last, after seeing my boyfriend only virtually for almost two years, I now see him live and in person, minus the face shield,” a netizen told The Adobo Chronicles.

All’s well that ends well!

MANILA, Philppines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The official campaign period for the 2022 Philippine elections hasn’t started yet but already, two Presidential candidates are conceding!

Vice President Leni Robredo and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno have all but conceded that they are the only two Presidential aspirants who haven’t worn a military uniform either as an officer or reservist.

Even Vice Presidential candidate and Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte has donned the uniform representing valor, loyalty, integrity and service to the country. Other candidates include former police chief Panfilo Lacson, General Antonio Parlade, President Rodrigo Duterte, Manny Pacquiao and Bongbong Marcos.

Robredo and Moreno have also conceded that they need to project themselves in other ways during the campaign to show that they are worthy to be Commander-in-Chief.
