October 13, 2017 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

LONDON, Great Britain (The Adobo Chronicles, London Bureau) – It took R.J. Nieto (a.k.a. Thinking Pinoy) and Sass Rogando Sasot to finally unmask the real identity of the person behind the controversial Pinoy Ako Blog (PAB).

Maria Josephina Vergina “Jover” Laurio’s PAB is known for its candor and criticism of the Duterte administration.

But it took the BBC to unmask the fact that Laurio is not Filipino. Rather she is Philippino.

The Adobo Chronicles is still trying to investigate where that country — Philippinoines? — is located.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As reported earlier by the mainstream media, the office of Senator Bam Aquino has reported to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) identity theft and hacking incidents to supposedly try and implicate opposition senators in a destabilization plot against President Rodrigo Duterte.

Both the NBI and AFP were quick to investigate the hacking incidents and came up with their initial findings.

Apparently, the password for Aquino’s social media and email accounts were easily retrieved by the hackers because it was so easy and predictable to guess. Aquino had used the same password for all his accounts.

The password was: HelloKitty12345.

Well, even non-hackers would have guessed that!

SWS Files For Bankruptcy

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Just days after it released the latest satisfaction and trust survey on President Rodrigo Duterte, the polling group, Social Weather Stations (SWS) announced it was filing for bankruptcy.

The SWS decision was prompted by new, emerging online technology which enables individuals to conduct online polling involving as many as 20,000 respondents.

SWS surveys normally involves up to 1,500 respondents chosen at random.

Many have questioned the polling group’s methodology, politics and its “leading questions” in their surveys.

A recent online survey on Facebook showed overwhelming distrust of Senator Antonio Trillanes who said that the recent SWS survey showing a drop in Duterte’s approval and trust ratings shows that “Filipinos are starting to see the light.”

Another online survey is now gathering votes to determine the true satisfaction and trust ratings of Duterte.

”We cannot complete with online surveys on Facebook, Survey Monkey or Polldaddy,” an SWS spokesman told The Adobo Chronicles.
