Compromise Reached on New Malacañang Press Corps!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Incoming Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles is proving her diplomatic mettle in her decision to accommodate both mainstream news media and bloggers/vloggers in as far as membership in the Malacañang Press Corps is concerned.

The elite news media have not been receptive to the idea of including bloggers/vloggers in the MPC.

So in a brilliant compromise, Cruz-Angeles has decided to create two separate MPCs.

The bloggers/vloggers will be accredited as the Malacañang Press Corps while the mainstream news media will now be known as the Malacañang Press Corpse.

Problem solved!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s been a long time coming! Bloggers and satirists are now eligible to become members of the Malacañang Press Corps, thanks to incoming Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles

The new policy which is not really a new policy because it was a policy during the tenure of PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar who failed to implement the policy, was a big disappointment for the National Press Club, Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas, Center for Investigative Reporting, and the elite news media like Rappler, News5, Inquirer and ANC.

Among those initially approved to become MPC members are:

Thinking Pinoy

Sass Rogando Sasot

Mark Lopez

Ahmed Paglinawan

Jam Magno

Mocha Uson

Maharlika

Reyna Elena

The Adobo Chronicles

Cebu Dairy News

The Professional Heckler

Pinoy Ako Blog would have been approved but Jover Laurio decided to stop blogging the day after Bongbong Marcos was elected 17th President.

It’s more fun in the Philippines!
