When An Anti-Marcos Vlogger Turns Color Blind

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vloggers have their way of manipulating the news, as is the case with self-proclaimed investigative writer and anti-Marcoses Twitterer, Raissa Robles.

In a recent tweet, she posted a still photo of a protest in Pakistan.

(The unrest comes after former Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested by paramilitary troops on charges of corruption, sparking a deadly outpouring of anger against the powerful military that has put the country on edge.)

In her tweet, Robles asked if the color of the Pakistan protests is pink.

The Adobo Chronicles engaged the services of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to determine the actual color of the photo and videos, sans enhancements, dramatic lighting or photoshop.

Lo and behold, AI returned to us the original photo showing the protesters in brown/beige!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – When the going is tough, look to greener pastures.

This is exactly what three of the Philippines’ controversial vloggers are doing after realizing their careers are going southward. They’ve lost credibility among friends and foes alike, and they needed a fresh start with a new income-generating career.

Unknown to many, the three have some hidden talent never harnessed professionally before — singing!

So now, Maria Ressa, Raissa Robles and Binibining Maharlika have decided to form an all-women band. Not just an ordinary band — a rock band!

What’s more, their launch will be in a form of a full-length concert at the Mall of Asia (MOA) arena.

Move over, Korean pop stars and Filipino concert queens. Make way for Tres Leches!
