1F738792-0C07-414E-AFFF-2069D07DA9F0SILICON VALLEY, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Gone are the glory days of Mocha Uson, Thinking Pinoy and other major major bloggers. Their millions of followers will now be reduced to a maximum of 500 followers.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told The Adobo Chronicles that beginning January 1, 2018, the social media giant will impose the cap on Facebook followers for all individual account holders.

Earlier, Facebook also announced it will penalize companies that beg for likes and comments, a scheme it is calling ‘engagement bait.’

Zuckerberg said this move is in line with his company’s policy of net equality.

Rappler’s Maria Ressa couldn’t be happier at the news. She had been wanting to take back the Intetnet. “Now, Facebook has leveled the playing field,” the lady CEO said.

Raissa Robles Could Face Child Abuse Charges Over Her Comments On Isabelle Duterte’s Malacañang Photo Shoot

IMG_2503MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In a desperate attempt to  prove once and for all that she is really an ‘investigative journalist,’ blogger Raissa Robles went all the way to  examine documents that indicate Duterte granddaughter Isabelle is not about to celebrate her 18th birthday.

It all started with a pre-debut photo shoot  inside Malacañang featuring the young Duterte. Yellow bloggers including Robles sharply criticized  the event for all the reasons they could muster — from inappropriate use of the palace to donning four different expensive gowns to choosing a blood red-colored gown.

Robles claims that her investigation shows that Isabelle is not about to officially become an adult, but is, on the contrary, just 15 years old.

Well, Robles takes pride in her revelation, but it also opens up a possible criminal case against her for child abuse.

Republic Act 7610 protects Filipinos under the age of 18 from psychological abuse and emotional maltreatment — both of which Robles committed in her blog and Twitter posts criticizing the Malacañang photo shoot.B43FCBF8-3C52-4448-B9B8-364BE60FC067

If she had been 18, the law would not have applied to Isabelle.  But thanks to Robles, we now know that Paolo Duterte’s daughter is very much a minor.

Violation of RA 7610 carries with it a penalty of prison mayor — or up to 6 years in jail.

Imagine Robles blogging from inside prison.
