MANILA, Philippines (Manila Bureau) – While Bb. Maharlika is desperately spreading trashy gossip about the occupants in Malacañang, major vloggers who were once united in defending former President Rodrigo Duterte are now throwing barbs at each other.

It seems social influence in the Philippines has morphed into who is the smartest, the most knowledgeable and the most credentialed among the major vloggers.

Dionne Warwick’s “That’s What Friends Are For” means nothing in the on-going battle of the bulging egos among Thinking Pinoy, Sass Rogando Sasot and Cocky Rocky.

Their respective followers are left on their own to decide on who is right and who is wrong but what’s entertaining is that netizens are not getting the socio-political influence they seek from their Lodis (Idols). It reminds them of the ongoing rift among the noon-time TV shows where personalities, not issues, rule!

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Just hours after Twitter owner Elon Musk posted new, temporary limits on the number of tweets account holders can read per day, he issued new guidelines on community standards violations.

In an earlier tweet, Musk set the tweet reading limits per day for account holders: 6,000 for verified accounts, 600 for unverified accounts and 400 for new unverified accounts.

But Musk also set allowances for community standard violations by account holders, a move that many say is a direct ridicule of Facebook’s community standard policies.

Musk said violators of its community standards will not automatically be banned or suspended. Instead he set some limits on the number of violations an account holder can commit per day, as follows:

1. Verified accounts – up to 6 violations per day
2. Unverified accounts – up to 3 violations per day
3. New unverified accounts – 1 violation per day

As long as account holders abide the the set rules, their accounts will remain in good standing, and will not be put in Twitter jail. Unlike Facebook!
