SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Three years ago, The Adobo Chronicles reported that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has classified the taking of ‘selfies’ as a mental disorder called ‘selfitis.’
We, of course, made it all up.
But what’s not made up is a scientific research conducted by the UK’s Trent University which concluded that your selfie obsession is real, but your selfitis is fake.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She had hoped to raise five million pesos to fund the operations of Rappler, but with just days left, CEO Maria Ressa is very disappointed that only 13% of her goal has been achieved. That’s barely enough to fund an online news company.
So, Ressa is throwing in the towel, and is shutting down Rappler for good as of December 31.
Instead, Ressa is publishing her very own personal newspaper The Tweeted Times.
She made the announcement today on her Twitter page.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There is a fake Facebook post claiming that Senator Risa Hontiveros will help the woman who slapped a taxi driver in Quezon City file charges against cyberbullies.
The woman, who accosted the taxi driver is being bashed online following a viral video that showed her during an apparent road rage.
A spokesperson for Hontiveros called the FB post ‘fake news.’
The Senator however told The Adobo Chronicles that she wants to help President Rodrigo Duterte’s granddaughter Isabelle who is being bashed by anti-administration news media and bloggers for that pre-debut photo shoot inside Malacañang Palace.
”My gahd, I hate cyberbullying,” Hontiveros said, “and coming to the defense of bullying victims, especially minors, knows no color.”
”I may be Yellow but I will do all I can in my power to help protect Isabelle from adult bashers like Maria Ressa, Raissa Hontiveros, Jover Laurio and others,” she added.
Kudos to the lady Senator!
