They insist the former Special Assistant to President Duterte got tattooed by Whang-od.

Whang-od Oggay, also known as Maria Oggay, is a Filipina tattoo artist from Buscalan, Tinglayan, Kalinga, Philippines. She is often described as the “last” and oldest mambabatok.

Today, The Adobo Chronicles traveled to Kalinga to ask Whang-od if she, indeed, gave Go a tattoo.

“Bong who,” Whang-od asked, confirming that she has ever met the Senatorial candidate, nor would she ever want to.

Speaking in her native dialect, Whang-od said the only mestizo she is dying to meet in person is ‘Ang Probinsiyano’ lead actor Coco Martin.

So let’s put all tattoos to rest. Especially Bong Go’s!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – One big difference between Duterte critics Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and retired entertainer Jim Paredes is that Ressa will not give up her dual citizenship no matter what.

But  Paredes is the opposite.  He told The Adobo Chronicles he is happy to let go of one of his citizenships if only to show the world that he is truly sorry about that viral sex video which has brought shame and scandal to both his  (dual)  citizenships.

”Today, I am announcing  that I will voluntarily  renounce my senior citizenship in order to protect the dignity and  reputation of my country’s senior citizens,” Paredes, 67, said.

9F964909-2AD6-4A5F-AD51-1C6460625382MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She was the darling of the press, especially among the Yellows and critics of President Rodrigo Duterte. For what could be a juicier news report than a very bright, outspoken and committed vanguard of press freedom being criminally charged and arrested multiple times?

But alas, all things must come to an end.

Rappler CEO Maria Ressa told The Adobo Chronicles that she is very disappointed at the public fascination and attention given to retired entertainer and Duterte critic Jim Paredes’ viral sex video.

”The press and the people have forgotten about me and my press freedom crusade. Jim has taken the spotlight away from me,” she said.

“Jim has also made Rappler’s hard-hitting news stories and investigative reporting seem pale and irrelevant compared to his juicy video,” Ressa added
