imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – El Gamma Penumbra, the Filipino shadow performing group that was the grand winner in the first season of “Asia’s Got Talent” will be treated to a huge welcome by their fans and supporters when they return to Manila from Singapore.

A motorcade will take them from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to Malacañang Palace where they will be personally greeted by President NoyNoy Aquino. The motorcade will pass through main thoroughfares in Makati where ticker tapes  and confetti will be showered from the city’s tall buiildings.

The group will also be personally met at the airport’s VIP lounge by Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Kim Henares who will have a tax receipt booklet in hand as she collects up to 30% of the group’s  $100,000 (4.4 Million pesos) prize money.

Henares is known to be a tough tax woman, always ready to collect the government’s share of international prize winnings by Filipino celebrities, not the least of whom is Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao’s prize money from his May 2nd fight with Floyd Mayweather is estimated at $150 Million.  That’s a whopping 6.6 BILLION pesos.

It is therefore not suprising that President Aquino is claiming that the Philippines is no longer the “sick man” of Asia, thanks to all that tax revenue.

ADOBO CHRONICLES TALKS TO PINOY NURSES CONVICTED FOR HAVING SEX IN FRONT OF ELDERY PATIENT

imageSAN DIEGO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) –  Two US-based Filipino nurses have been sentenced to spend several months in jail for performing sexual acts with each other in front of their 98-year-old female charge in 2011.

Alfredo Ruiz and Russel Torralba, both 43, were sentenced to 325 and 365 days in prison, respectively, according to a report by Times of San Diego.  In addition to the jail time, the two were also sentenced to five years of probation.

Both had pleaded guilty to the felony charge of inflicting mental suffering on an elderly person last February 5.

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with the the two nurses after their court sentencing.  They said they thought that the camera that recorded their sexual act was a live cam that was broadcast on the Internet. “We were hoping porn film producers would see the live video and offer us lucrative roles in porn films. We heard porn actors are paid very well, more than the minimum wage we get as caregivers for the sick and elderly.”

Now, that’s really sick, we think.

They are convening in Virginia this July to anoint their candidate.  It’s a done deal: Hillary is it!

The Adobo Chronicles has just learned that Clinton will be officially chosen by acclamation on July 29 during the national convention of barbie doll collectors.  No other barbie collection has come close to being considered for the nomination.

Convention chair Julie Bronski  said, “We’ve always known that Hillary is a star, and now we get to celebrate with her and all of our closest friends.  We look forward to the 2015 convention, as well as the 2016 presidential elections.”
