The Adobo Chronicles would like to observe a moment of silence to lament a new world record for the Philippines:
The Philippines has the fastest growing HIV epidemic in the world, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Unacceptable!

PEOPLE WHO PROTESTED THE STARBUCKS HOLIDAY CUPS ARE STARBUCKS STOCKHOLDERS
SEATTLE, Washington (The Adobo Chronicles) – Good publicity or bad publicity is still publicity. And publicity is good for business.
There has been a lot of controversy and social media debate over Starbuck’s decision to redesign their Christmas (okay, okay, ‘Holiday’) cups to just plain red without the usual holiday-themed designs of previous years.
Many individuals were offended by the new design, accusing Starbucks of taking “Christ” away from “Christmas.”
Well, it now appears that the complainants are stockholders of Starbucks who wanted to boost the coffee company’s holiday season business. In recent years, Starbucks has come under serious competition from other coffee companies, resulting in the decline of its stock value.
The complainants were hoping that by “creating” a controversy, coffee lovers would empathize with Starbucks and bring their business to the Seattle-based company.
The Adobo Chronicles could not independently confirm the identity of the Starbucks stockholders who masterminded this red cup controversy. We’re working on it.
MICHELE BACHMANN WANTS TO BAN THE SALE OF MENORAH IN THE U.S.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has proposed a ban on the sale in the U.S. of the Menorah, a candelabrum used in Jewish worship, especially during the observance of Hanukkah.
She made the proposal as she called for an intensified effort to convert Jews to Christianity.
In the radio program, “Washington Watch,” Bachmann discussed the meaning of the recent intensification of violence in Israel and the West Bank. She cast the violence as a signal of the return of Jesus, which would necessitate mass conversions.
“We recognize the shortness of the hour,” Bachmann said on the program hosted by Tony Perkins, “and that’s why we as a remnant want to be faithful in these days and do what it is that the Holy Spirit is speaking to each one of us, to be faithful in the Kingdom and to help bring in as many as we can — even among the Jews — share Jesus Christ with everyone that we possibly can because, again, He’s coming soon.”
Bachmann added that banning the sale of the Menorah would be a great and meaningful first step in converting Jews to Christianity. She proposed that American Jews should decorate their homes with a Christmas tree instead. “If that offends them, then an alternative would be to set up a giant inflatable Santa Claus in their front lawns,” she said.
