MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – For the third time in the last five months, Rappler CEO and convicted criminal Maria Ressa was given the green light to leave the Philippines, this time to travel to Ukraine.
The Court of Appeals has granted Ressa permission to do what she does best — reporting live from the world’s war zones. She is expected to file death-defying dispatches from war-torn Ukraine. She will also be reporting live from Moscow, Russia.
It will be recalled that Ressa has a string of credentials covering war zones, not the least of which is the Philippines which she has described as the ”worst war zone” she has ever been in.
Last year, Ressa who was convicted of cyber libel was allowed to travel to the United States to attend a Harvard program and to visit her parents, and to Norway to personally receive her Nobel Peace Prize award.
CLAIM: Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo has been claiming that her office has consistently received the Commission on Audit ‘s (COA) ”highest audit rating.”
FACT: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “HIGHEST COA AUDIT RATING.” An agency being audited can only get an auditor’s unqualified opinion, qualified opinion, adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion. Even an unqualified opinion often comes with auditor’s notes and recommendations to correct deficiencies or errors.
As a matter of fact, in 2019, COA flagged the Office of the Vice President regarding its Angat Buhay program for poor planning and lack of documents:
OUR CONCLUSION: Robredo’s repeated claim is FALSE!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If you can’t lick him, join him!
Supporters of presidential aspirant Leni Robredo have all but given up on their candidate whose poll ratings continue to trail frontrunner Bongbong Marcos by a wide margin.
In desperation, Leni supporters joined the camp of Marcos, all in the spirit of unity which has always been the former senator’s campaign promise and strategy.
In one of Marcos’ motorcade, pinklawans, as Leni supporters are called, showered Marcos with confetti consisting of Leni-Kiko fliers.
What great use for what would otherwise be just ineffective, wasted Leni campaign material.
