MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In one brief, dramatic tweet, performance artist cum tour guide Carlos Celdran proposed an end to all Filipino Teleserye as a means to solving the country’s problems.

In his tweet, Celdran said that the country does not have problems, just drama:

Asked by The Adobo Chronicles what his concrete proposal would be to solve problems, he confidently said that all Filipino teleserye, including ABS-CBN’s ‘Ang Probinsiyano’ and GMA’s ‘Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka’ should immediately go off the air.

Celdran also said that Philippine TV networks should stop showing Tagalog-translated Korean drama.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Pinoy Ako Blog’s (PAB) Jover Laurio’s account was suspended by Facebook, with the social media giant claiming that Laurio is posing as somebody that she is not.

Immediately, Laurio blamed Rappler and Vera Files, both designated as Facebook’s Philippine partners in fact-checking posts and information on social meda, especially Facebook.

’Akala ko ba BFFs tayo,” Laurio asked of Rappler and Vera Files (I thought we were best friends forever).

Laurio told The Adobo Chronicles that she thinks Rappler and Vera Files were both jealous because PAB had more followers and engagements than Rappler and Vera Files combined.

Moral of the story: professional (and unprofessional) jealousy exists even among the Dilawans.

VP Leni Robredo Fires Her Spokesperson Georgina Hernandez

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – While Facebook fact-checkers Rappler and Vera Files were sleeping on the job, Inquirer fact-checked Vice President Leni Robredo who expressed alarm over China’s recent military activities in the South China Sea. But she erroneously stated that a Chinese bomber landed in the area claimed by the Philippines.

The Chinese H-6K long-range bomber actually landed on Woody Island in the disputed Paracel Islands, which is quite far from the Philippines and is not claimed by the country. (The Chinese-occupied archipelago is actually claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan.)

It was an “Oops” moment as headlined by the Inquirer.

As a result of this gaffe, Robredo fired her spokesperson Georgina Hernandez for feeding her with the fake information. Most of Robredo’s public statements are scripted by Hernandez and her team of propagandists. (It’s the same reason that after reading a prepared statement recently, Robredo, when asked by a reporter to answer an unscripted question, replied, “Walang nang question. Merienda na lang.”

Ironically, the Robredo has recently waged an offensive against people, including journalists, who she says are purveyors of fake news.

Oops!
