NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – After receiving a lot of flak for its latest issue whose cover depicts the Philippines and the government’s war on drugs, Time magazine recalled all copies and immediately replaced its cover to better reflect the truth.
“We are committed to reporting only the truth, so when we err, it is ourm reponsibility to correct our error,” the magazine editors said.
The reprint includes an apology from the writer of the cover story, Rishi Iyengar, and the local Philippine journalists who fed him the misinformation.

HOUSTON, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick just found an ally in his refusal to stand for the playing of the national athem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States. That ally is none other than Lady Gaga.
The diva sang the national anthem at last year’s Superbowl 50 at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara — standing up of course — but she will sit it out during Superbowl 51 at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on February 5, 2017.
Lady Gaga, if we were to believe US Magazine, has been chosen to perform during the half-time show for Superbowl 51.
When the national anthem is sung (singer still to be announced), Lady Gaga will be seated inside the green room while awaiting her turn to perform for the half-time show.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Former lawmaker and television host Teodoro “Teddyboy” Locsin Jr. has accepted his appointment as the Philippines’ ambassador to the United Nations (UN), Malacañang said Sunday.
As the new UN ambassador, Locsin will be able to improve on his English and other language skills as he interacts with other dignitaries from across the globe.
Locsin is not particularly keen on his own national language, Tagalog, which he has described as “bullshitty” and “useless a tongue for debate.” His comments came right after the Philippine presidential debate earlier this year, in which he criticized some candidates for speaking in Tagalog.
Locsin has conducted his television show in English, albeit in a heavy accent. But he hopes to hone his English skills during his stint as Philippine ambassador to the UN.
