Leni Robredo To Sue Manila Bulletin For Cyber Libel!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For prematurely sending Leni Robredo to the after life, a Philippine national news daily, the Manila Bulletin is being sued by the Vice President for cyber libel.

The case stems from the newspaper’s online news headline that referred to “Robredo’s remains” in a story relating to a recent Pulse Asia survey showing Robredo in a distant 6th spot among possible 2022 “Presidentiables.”

This is the second infamous cyber libel case brought forth against Philippine news media. Many will recall that a private individual sued Rappler CEO Maria Ressa for the same crime, resulting in her conviction by the courts.

Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles that she will not take this malicious headline sitting down. “I will fight this case to the end, with my life,” she said in a statement prepared by her speechwriter.

OVP Says Leni Robredo Alive and Well

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Hours after a leading Philippine national newspaper posted a news headline about the “remains” of Vice President Leni Robredo, the Office of the Vice President assured the Filipino people that the VP was alive and well.

The headline in the Manila Bulletin online edition stated that “Robredo’s remains” focused on Covid-19 response and not on the results of a recent Pulse Asia Survey showing the Vice President in a distant 6th place among potential Presidential candidates in 2022.

Netizens reacted to the news headline, wondering what caused the “demise” of Robredo or where the remains were interred.

Robredo herself has not appeared in public or on social media as of press time, but supporters have suggested that the VP release a photo or selfie showing her holding up a copy of the Manila Bulletin headline.

IN OBSERVANCE OF JOSE RIZAL DAY, LENI ROBREDO WILL REENACT ROLE OF SISA VIA FACEBOOK LIVE

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She is done saluting the Jose Rizal Monument in Luneta. Been there. Done that. This year, in observance of the national hero’s day, Vice President Leni Robredo is doing something different.

Sources close to the Office of the Vice President tell The Adobo Chronicles that on December 30, Robredo will go on Facebook Live and reenact scenes from Rizal’s ‘Noli Me Tangere,’ particularly the role of Sisa.

In Rizal’s novel, Sisa, unable to stand up to her abusive husband, and later the Guardia Civil, went from one traumatic event to another, causing her to eventually lose her sanity due to the mental burden. This insanity manifested in her wandering around San Diego, calling out her children’s names, and singing songs out of nowhere.

Robredo’s co-host of her weekly radio show, Ka Ely, said that the VP is perfect for the role. Playing an insane woman is not an easy chore, he said. “But all Leni needs to do is to act as her crazy herself.”
