MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Nobel Peace Prize awardee Maria Ressa today asked Philippine lawmakers to craft a law that would censor the social networking giant Facebook.

The Rappler CEO made the request at a Senate Committee hearing on Disinformation headed by Vice Presidential aspirant Kiko Pangilinan.

Ressa accused Facebook of being biased against facts and against journalists.

We tried to reach Mark Zuckerberg for comment but his Facebook account was on ”do not disturb.”

Here is Ressa in her own infallible words as reported by the ever-truthful news outlet Rappler.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon tweeted that she had a fever, just hours after she presided over a preliminary hearing on two disqualification petitions filed against former Senator and presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos.

This prompted the feisty Commissioner (a.k.a. shunga) to submit to a Covid-19 RT-PCR test.

The test came back positive!

Comelec Spokesperson James Jimenez told The Adobo Chronicles that Guanzon may have been exposed to the zoomicron virus after she had a fit when Marcos failed to appear — not even by zoom — at Friday’s hearing.

Guanzon demanded that Marcos’ counsel produce a medical certificate to justify the former Senators’ no-show.

It wasn’t clear whether Guanzon will be able to resume the disqualification hearing on Monday due to her condition. She will then have to produce a medical certificate if the hearing must be postponed.

What goes around comes around. Even zoomicron.
