MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As the “competition” between the two Marcos films, (pro-Aquino) Ako Si Ninoy” and (pro-Marcos) “Martyr or Murderer” heats up, AsN lead actor JK Labajo tried a jab at MoM director Darryl Yap. Labajo plays the role of Ninoy Aquino in the film.
“Hinding-hindi ako pagpapa-direk kay Darryl Yap,” (I will never have myself directed by Darryl Yap) Labajo was quoted as saying on social media.
To which Yap replied, “suntok sa buwan” (punch to the moon).
“Suntok sa buwan” is a Filipino phrase that roughly means “Aiming for the impossible.”
Yap’s comment was a double whammy as Labajo, also a recording artist, is credited for the hit song “Buwan” (moon). Was it also a punch to the hit song?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – First, it was Elon Musk who announced that Twitter will be charging $8 a month or for those who want the verified blue check mark on their accounts. Then Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook will be doing the same for $11.99.
Now, Maria Ressa’s Rappler — not to be left behind — has just announced it will start charging P500 a month (roughly $10) for its fans, followers and subscribers who want the blue mark on their FB accounts and be identified as authentic and verified.
In a zoom call with The Adobo Chronicles, Ressa said this is one way for Rappler to recover its investments for her online news source which has been declining in trust and popularity.
So what are you waiting for? Support Rappler and fork out your hard-earned P500 per month!
