Raissa Robles, The Fake Fashion Police!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It doesn’t pay to venture into an issue where you do not have the credentials or expertise. It could come back to you as a slap on the face.

This was the painful and embarrassing lesson learned by self-proclaimed investigative writer and certified Marites Raissa Robles.

In a tweet, Robles critiqued the Filipina dress worn by Philippine First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos at King Charles’ coronation in London last week. Robles accused the First Lady of “raiding” (synonym: shoplifting ) her mother-in-law Imelda’s closet.

Just hours later, a well-credentialed British newspaper named the Philippine First Lady one of the 52 most fashionable personalities at the coronation.

Robles could be better off dusting unsold copies of her book and sending her resume to gossip tabloids.

Philippine Radio Anchors Keep Their Face Masks On To Protect Themselves From Their Listeners!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines is probably one among the few countries whose citizens still wear face masks. Never mind that the government has made it optional, except in high-risk environments. Never mind that the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the coronavirus is no longer a global health emergency.

Case in point: the anchors of one of the most-listened to radio stations wear their face mask when on the air. Never mind that they’re in isolation inside the broadcast studio.

Is this a case of overreaction, unfounded fear, or do they get stipends from the Health Department for being poster children of health safety?

Or are they afraid that their listeners might catch what they have, or vice versa? After all, no study has yet been conducted to determine if viruses are transmitted through the air waves.
