SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) –The Adobo Chronicles, which Rappler says is “fake news” and blogger Mark Anthony Lopez believes is lacking in “substance”, is now No. 27 in the world’s top 100 satire sites. It moved up yet another notch from No. 28 just a week ago.

Since its inception in 2013, the site which describes itself as the “best source of up-to-date, unbelievable news” has already reached more than 28 million viewers.

Congratulations to the AC team and kudos to all our subscribers, followers, and yes, haters!

The fast-rising Internet high-society page sensation, “Politique PH” has been tagged by detractors as “That Anonymous Page,” as if anonymity threatens their very existence.

Politique PH is turning into a thorn on the side of many celebrities, politicians and self-proclaimed political pundits who prefer their discourse to be one-sided, fawning and humorless. 

Politique uses wit, sarcasm and colorful language to express alternative viewpoints and its use of anonymity just adds an extra layer of intrigue and annoyance for those who prefer political discourse to be as bland and predictable as yesterday’s rice. It’s as if anonymity is some sort of nefarious activity. 

Of course, these same critics conveniently ignore the fact that there’s an international group called “Anonymous” operating in the shadows of the  Internet, pulling off world-changing feats like hacking into the most secure government databases, all while using the same name.

We don’t have to leave the Philippines either. Prior to being exposed by Thinking Pinoy, Jover Laurio was basking in her imaginary glory under the name “Pinoy Ako Blog.” (Incidentally, a local court has ordered Thinking Pinoy, a.k.a. RJ Nieto to pay Laurio damages for violating her privacy.)

So march on, dear cowering cry babies.  Leave Politique PH alone and just enjoy her company while she sips her chamomile  tea!

SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau)- Blogger and DJ extraordinaire Mark Anthony Lopez has accused The Adobo Chronicles of having no substance. He humors us.

He may have over 200K followers, but that doesn’t even come close to our 28M views. Imagine 28M people devoid of substance!

So we decided to sweep Lopez’s comment under the rug. But first, a heart-warming response to this soul who fits the bill for a KSP or Kulang Sa Pansin (Lacking in attention).

We might consider moving on if Mr. Lopez posts a public apology for his comment on AC. Otherwise, we’ll continue to tickle his bone till it breaks!

Mark Anthony Lopez, the self-proclaimed connoisseur of intellectual discourse, recently graced us with his profound critique of The Adobo Chronicles, declaring it devoid of substance. While Lopez’s insightful analysis might lead us to believe that he’s the guardian of journalistic integrity, we can’t help but chuckle at the irony. For a man who seems to have a profound fondness for hot air and vacuity, his assessment of this satirical news site leaves us in stitches. Clearly, Lopez’s finely honed taste for substance has left him ill-prepared for the clever wit and sharp humor that The Adobo Chronicles serves up. Perhaps a dictionary and a sense of humor are in order, Mr. Lopez.
