Tio Moreno’s Selective Outrage Over Atty.Claire Castro

Leave a comment

(AC team member Melchor Vergara contributed to this report)

Ah, Tio Moreno, a.k.a. Alex Destor—the man, the myth, the misplaced priorities. After years of thriving in the Wild West of social media, where facts are optional and credibility is a distant dream, he has finally drawn the line.

His latest grievance? The Marcos administration appointing a mere vlogger as the new Undersecretary of the Presidential Communications Office. Shocking! Unacceptable! But wait—where was this moral outrage when his fellow propagandist, Trixie Cruz-Angeles, a vlogger with a twice-suspended law license, was handed the same office? Must’ve been a long hibernation.

Alas, Moreno’s indignation is tragically misplaced. Claire Castro isn’t just a “vlogger”—she’s a lawyer, podcaster, columnist, and talk show host. Unlike Moreno, she doesn’t treat “narinig ko lang” as journalism. The real nightmare? If he ever lands a PCO position himself. Future press briefings may require viewers to shield their eyes—because who could forget that this man enjoys undressing on social media?

If hypocrisy were a government position, Tio Moreno would be Secretary for Life. But until then, we await his next meltdown over standards he conveniently forgets when they apply to his own circle.

By The Adobo Chronicles

In an unprecedented Adobo Chronicles exclusive, we sat down with comedy legend Vic Sotto and controversial director Darryl Yap to discuss the much-hyped lawsuit filed by Sotto over Yap’s new film, “The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.” The movie’s trailer, deemed “libelous” by Sotto, had ignited a media frenzy and charges filed.

“Ito kasi, Vic,” Yap began, his trademark smirk in full force. “Art imitates life. The film is a nuanced exploration of—”

“Nuanced?! Nuanced ba ’yung mukha kong ginawa mong kontrabida sa trailer? Parang pinulot ako sa tambakan ng basura!” Sotto retorted, his comedic timing still intact.

“Vic, it’s all creative license! Di mo ba gets? ‘The Rapists’ is a metaphor! Kumbaga, it’s a… what’s the word? Parody!” Yap shot back, air-quoting furiously.

“Ah, parody pala ha? Eh parang di naman nagjo-joke yung abogado ko,” Sotto quipped, producing a folder marked Cease and Desist.

After hours of heated exchange, the pair surprised everyone by bursting into laughter.

“Panoorin mo na lang yung buong pelikula, Vic,” Yap offered. “Sige, Darryl, basta libre tickets ah,” Sotto replied, extending a handshake.

They ended the interview with a hug and a photo-op, leaving everyone confused about whether the lawsuit or the movie was the real comedy.

Was it all a show?

The Life And “Death” Of Mary Jane Veloso

Leave a comment

Mary Jane Veloso’s saga reads like a grim reality show—one where death row becomes the ultimate waiting room. 

After over a decade of prayers, protests, and presidents, she’s finally home. Noynoy Aquino played the role of the unlikely savior, pleading with Indonesia to spare her life, while Bongbong Marcos surprisingly picked up the baton. But Rodrigo Duterte, ever the strongman, nearly turned her into collateral damage in his “tough love” diplomacy. 

Meanwhile, local newspapers couldn’t resist the dramatic flair, effectively “killing” her in headlines the morning after her reprieve. Truly, nothing says “faith in journalism” like declaring someone dead when their heart is still beating.

Mary Jane’s story is a poignant reminder that in the Philippines, survival is less about justice and more about whose pen writes your fate. In the end, the irony is clear: Mary Jane defied death, but the system, as always, remains terminally ill.
