GABRIELA Condemns ABS-CBN Show ‘Minute To Win It’

92A3EB26-FBC9-445C-9E4C-68BB2F2756F4MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – GABRIELA, the erstwhile Philippine women’s advocacy group can’t take it any longer and finally broke its silence over the hit game show on ABS-CBN, “Minute To Win It, Last Man Standing.”

The show is based on the original American game show of the same title. Contestants take part in a series of 60-second challenges that use objects that are commonly available around the house. Those who complete ten challenges would win the top prize of the show, ₱1,000,000.

In a statement issued today, GABRIELA said the show’s title is extremely discriminatory against women just because of its title which all but ignores women.

Asked what show title should be used for the game show, a spokesperson for GABRIELA said her group will be happy with “Minute To Win It: Last Person Standing.”

Moral of the story: always be politically correct.

 

 

 

SWiS Survey: Only 9 Out Of 100 Filipinos Dissatisfied With President Rodrigo Duterte

BE5585D6-F25B-4C2C-A42A-29A8FB2DD51BMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A newly-released SWiS survey shows that 76 out of every 100 Filipinos are satisfied with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, while only 9 are dissatisfied.

The survey was conducted during the last quarter of 2018.

According to an analysis of the survey conducted by The Adobo Chronicles, the 9 Filipinos are the senatorial bets under the Opposition coalition party, Otso Diretso plus Leni Robredo. (For those unfamiliar with the Filipino language, ‘otso’ means 8)

The 15 who are undecided were just shy to reveal their support for Duterte and were afraid of incriminating themselves for various reasons.

Maria Ressa And Kit Tatad: Wedding Of The Century

894048FD-C7C8-4E34-8BCC-A605ACF955B7.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – There are royal weddings and celebrity weddings, but a wedding of the century comes only, well, once every century.

And who would ever think that the Philippines would be the venue of this century’s wedding — between Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and now former Manila Times columnist (and former Press Secretary of Ferdinand E. Marcos) Francisco ‘Kit’ Tatad.

It’s a union made in heaven: two journalists, once on the opposite sides of the political spectrum, both now crying ‘suppression of Press Freedom’ and ‘political persecution.’

Both have been accused of lying — ever critical of Rodrigo Duterte —  while falling ‘victim’ to harassment and the government’s intolerance of criticism.

The couple makes the perfect Western media darlings and will definitely make for awesome cover stories for TIME, New York Times and CNN. Even Al Jazeera perhaps.

It’s the perfect marriage. Of convenience.
