Krizette Laureta Chu’s latest gripe targets the Marcos administration for rotational brownouts, allegedly scaring away both foreign and local tourists. 

As a journalist, Chu’s naivety is astounding—believing that decades-old power supply woes can be waved away in just two years. 

What’s truly comical, though, is Chu’s apparent inability to perform a basic Google search on her own publication, Manila Bulletin. She boldly declares that there were no rotational brownouts during the administration of her idol Rodrigo Duterte, only to be hilariously debunked by her own paper’s archives. The records plainly show that brownouts were alive and well during Duterte’s time, illuminating Chu’s selective memory and shoddy research. 

Perhaps Chu should take a break from her sensationalist critiques and invest in a flashlight and some basic fact-checking skills. Or permanently wear a face mask to keep her from opening her loud mouth.

Until then, we can only hope for fewer power outages and even fewer baseless rants.
