SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – San Francisco’s planned Ginger Pride celebration in 2016 just got better. The Pride Committee has just announced that Prince Harry will replace actress Emma Stone as the parade’s celebrity grand marshall.

Earlier, San Francisco  Mayor Ed Lee revealed that the grand marshall will be the naturally-blonde Hollywood star, but ginger people from all over the world sent letters of protest demanding that a real ginger be designated grand marshall. 

The committee has been in secret negotiations with ginger-haired international celebrities in the last several months. Today  it has confirmed that the dashing prince has agreed to lead the San Francisco parade. image

SEATTLE, Washington (The Adobo Chronicles) – There is a missing beauty crown and a sash, and television host Steve Harvey is being questioned by authorities for it.

It has nothing to do with Miss Universe. Rather, it is about Miss Washington USA. Stormy Keffeler who had earlier won the crown resigned after a previous DUI arrest surfaced. However, the first runner-up could not be crowned because Keffeler said both the crown and the sash mysteriously disappeared.

Harvey, many will recall mistakenly crowned Miss Colombia in last December’s Miss Universe pageant only to correct himself and say that Miss Philippines had actually won the contest.

Authorities said Harvey is not a suspect in the disapperance of the Miss Washington USA crown and sash. “We’re just trying to pursue all possible leads to find the missing items,” they said.

imageSAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – From California to Texas, from Florida to New Jersey — Filipinos are lining up in droves at Walmart stores for the final chance to stock up on discounted bulk items to send back home to their loved ones. This, after the retail giant announced it will soon close hundreds of its stores in the U.S. and elsewhere. The lines were reminiscent of those seen on Black Friday.

Yesterday, The Adobo Chronicles reported that thousands of Filipino Americans were shocked and upset that their go-to source for goods to pack into their balikbayan boxes was closing for good.

Our i-Reporters have confirmed that among the first items to disappear from Walmart store shelves were Nike and Adidas shoes, designer shirts and socks, canned goods like Spam, corned beef and Vienna sausage, bath soap and shampoo,  as well as rolls and rolls of toilet tissue.

Walmart store managers had to employ additional security personnel to help maintain order and prevent chaos or injury to customers and employees.
