MANDALUYONG CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – An advertising promo for Pioneer Woodlands features Will, a young professional who says it’s easy to go to places because his home is directly connected to the MRT, Metro Manila’s light railway system.

Home is an apartment unit in a 6-tower development situated right in the middle of thriving EDSA.  Its direct link to the BONI station of MRT-3 makes this development one of the most coveted addresses in Metro Manila, according to the company’s web site.

“Get on the railway of lifestyle enjoyment! Let this address take you off space hindrances and on to the city’s best places in a swift,” says the promo for Pioneer Woodlands.

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with Will on his way out of his new condo to catch the next MRT train bound for Makati.  He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the long lines of commuters trying to get to the ticket booths and train platforms.

“I’ve been duped,” he exclaimed.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered Saturday Night Live (SNL) to have each of the remaining 36 Republican presidential candidates host a future episode of the late-night comedy television show.

SNL had previously announced that Donald Trump will host the November 7 episode, prompting complaints from the rest of the Republican  candidate field.

FCC rules mandate that if free airtime was granted to a candidate over the public airwaves, equal time had to be made available to his or her opponent, if it was requested.

Well, all of Trump’s opponents requested equal time.

So there you have it, for 35 weeks after November 7  viewers will be treated to a GOP presidential candidate hosting SNL, starting with Ben Carson.

On the Democratic side, since Hillary Clinton appeared for a short segment of SNL recently, each of the Democratic presidential candidates (except Jim Webb who dropped out of the race today) will be given  the same amount of time on the show.

That, folks, is how Demoracy works!

DONALD TRUMP SIGNIFICANTLY DROPS IN LATEST POLL, THANKS TO STAR WARS

Leave a comment

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Donald Trump’s domination as the frontrunner in the race for the Republican nomination for president has finally come to an end.

Latest national polls show Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina tied at 23% each to claim the top spot in the Republican field of presidential candidates. Trump has slid to 7th place with only 4%.

The polls were taken shortly after the official release of the trailer of the upcoming Hollywood film, ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which has a black man and a woman as the lead characters.

Prior to the trailer release, Trump’s racist supporters flooded the Internet with tweets and posts calling for a boycott of the film because it has cast too many women, blacks, Latinos and  Asians, and presumably gay men and women.

The racist tweets fueled by the #BoycottStarWarsVII hashtag warned that the new Star Wars movie promotes “white genocide” and was made “to demoralize and destroy Whites.”

The votes for Carson and Fiorina have sent a clear message to Trump and his persistent attacks on women and minorities on the campaign trail.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Facebook and Twitter accounts had to be temporarily suspended because angry netizens were posting “Bye, Felicia” memes on his pages.
