It was supposed to be a symbolic protest against the economic policies of the Marcos administration, but this “June 15 Maisug OFW Non-Remittance Day” is giving vloggers Maharlika and Sass Rogando Sasot. They fear that even their remittance from their troll benefactor in the Philippines (‘tatay Digs’ might also be in jeopardy.
The countdown to June 15 begins now…
In the convoluted realm of Rigoberto Tiglao’s Manila Times columns, discerning truth from fiction is akin to untangling a spaghetti plate with chopsticks.
Now, the maestro of muddled narratives has decided to dabble in satire, an art form as foreign to him as fact-checking.
Reacting to a Twitter post from self-proclaimed Maisug professor Anna Malindog-Uy, Tiglao bravely announced a $1 billion defense aid package to the Philippines from visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. One might applaud the creativity, but alas, the attempt falls flatter than a pancake on a non-stick pan.
While satire requires a delicate balance of wit and plausibility, Tiglao’s effort crashes spectacularly. We at Adobo Chronicles must award Tiglao an “F” for his valiant yet futile attempt at humor. Stick to your day job, Mr. Tiglao—whatever that may be—because satire clearly isn’t your forte.
In an age where journalistic integrity is paramount, Krizette Laureta Chu emerges as the shining beacon of mediocrity.
Recently, this blogger extraordinaire took to social media to crowdsource the meaning of “June 15 OFW No Remittance Day,” proving that Google is for mere mortals. Once her diligent followers spoon-fed her the answer, she seamlessly transitioned to the real meat of her double-crowdsourcing scheme: begging for cash.
Yes, Ms. Chu, ever the pioneer, urged her readers to fund her opulent lifestyle. Her audacity is only matched by her ingenuity. Why research when you can crowdsource twice? At Adobo Chronicles, we recognize genius when we see it. Ms. Chu, kindly PM us your GCash account number; we’re eager to support this noble cause, in the name of our 11th Anniversary this month Perhaps your employer Manila Bulletin could do the same?
After all, why work hard when you can work smart?
