MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicle,Manila Bureau) – A few years back, when Raissa Robles was at the University of Berkeley to talk about her book, “Marcos Martial Law: Never Again,” she got an unexpected visit from a Los Angeles-based Duterte and Marcos defender, Maharlika.
The exchange between Maharlika and Robles consisted of trading accusations of lies and fake news from either party about the true happenings in the Philippines.
Fast forward to 2023 . . . Maharlika seemed to have been in a drastic transformation from a DDS/Marcos Loyalist to a bitter, rumor-mongering anti-Marcos crusader, utilizing her slapstick-style blog, complete with oversized eye glasses.
While Maharlika has caught the ire of many Pinoy netizens to gain the singular honor of “the most-hated Filipino Vlogger,” Robles has extended an olive branch to her which could lead to a new anti-Marcos Vlogging-in-tandem.
Politics and social media work in very mysterious ways!
MENLO PARK, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Ron Thurman (not his real name), was jailed by Facebook for 30 days for violation of the social media platform’s community standards. Thurman did not bother to contest his account suspension and weathered through four weeks isolated from his thousands of peeps worldwide.
Now, Thurman is back on Facebook and he is not taking his release from FB jail sitting down.
As soon as he was back online, Thurman vowed to flood his wall with photos of food — lots and lots of ‘em, to the annoyance of even his top fans.
Facebook also took notice and is fighting back.
Today, Facebook announced its updated community standards that include a ban on posting food, glorious food! It is calling it “food porn.” It comes with a penalty of suspension or account deactivation for repeat offenders.
As for Thurman? He is back in Facebook jail for another 30 days!
