Adobo Chronicles Exclusive: The Meaning Of ‘Gurgur’

Ah, the linguistic inventiveness of anti-Marcos vloggers like Maharlika and Sass Rogando Sasot never fails to amuse. Their penchant for coining terms like “gurgur” is nothing short of remarkable.

Perhaps it’s their humble upbringing shining through, each made-up word a testament to their creative desperation.

“Gurgur,” an apparent evolution from the Ilocano “gurigur” meaning fever, is indeed fitting. One could argue that Maharlika and Sasot are in a state of perpetual, high-fever hallucination, feverishly concocting their fantastical posts and memes.

It’s almost poetic, really: their febrile imaginations running wild, untethered from reality. In their fever-dream world, “gurgur” might even become the official language. So next time you encounter their latest viral creation, remember: it’s just the fever talking.

Now you know.

Politique PH Tuesday: Sara Duterte Out Of The Closet

So, our darling Sara Duterte has decided to exit stage left from her roles as DepEd Secretary and a member of the Marcos cabinet. 🏃‍♀️💨

Let’s be honest – the education crisis in the Philippines is a hot mess, and it needs someone with a bit more intellectual oomph. 🧠✨ But Sara? Well, she was about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. 🚪🐠

Imagine trying to solve the education crisis when your own grasp of the subject is shakier than a Jenga tower in an earthquake. 🌪️😬 It’s like hiring a cat to bark – it’s impossible! 🐱🐶

So, Sara’s resignation might be the best thing since sliced bread. 🍞👍 At least now, there’s a slim chance for someone with a few more neurons to step in and tackle the disaster that is the Philippine education system. 🧩📚

So, adieu, Sara! 👋 We’ll NOT miss your… unique contributions. 😅 Here’s hoping the next DepEd Secretary actually knows the difference between a textbook and a Kindle book. 📖🚫

Let’s cross our fingers that the next DepEd Sec has some real brains, does not have media phobia, can comment beyond “no comment”, and is not just pure hype!🤞💡

Fact-Checking Rappler

Rappler’s latest “fact check” on a mystic’s prediction of a catastrophic earthquake in Luzon raises eyebrows for its absurdity.

Are we seriously entertaining the notion that crystal balls now rival seismographs? It seems Rappler is trading journalistic integrity for clickbait, desperately clinging to relevance. Scientific consensus affirms that earthquakes cannot be predicted, yet here we are, indulging fortune tellers’ whims.

Perhaps the real story is Rappler’s shaky credibility, not tectonic plates. The only tremors detected are those of a news outlet struggling to stay afloat in the digital age. If this is Rappler’s idea of rigorous journalism, they might as well start fact-checking horoscope columns next.
