NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (The Adobo Chronicles, New Orleans Bureau) – What was supposed to be a heroic, flying moment for Miss Philippines Celeste Cortesi at the Miss Universe National Costume Competition has turned out to be a legal nightmare.
The estate of Mars Ravelo is suing Cortese for copyright infringement when she donned a “Darna” costume at the pageant this week.
Ravelo was a Filipino comic book cartoonist and graphic novelist who created many Filipino classics including Darna.
The Adobo Chronicles tried to reach Cortesi in New Orleans but her team told us she was busy preparing for the pageant finals and coronation this weekend.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s film awards season, with the Golden Globes just having been concluded and the Oscars soon to tickle everyone’s fancy.
Locally, the Metro Manila Film Festival has haded its awards.
And now, the much-awaited Film Critics Reject’s 10 Worst Films have been revealed with little fanfare.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Air passengers can no longer refer to PAL (Philippine Air Lines) as “Plane Always Late,” thanks to the country’s flag carrier being honored in Cirium’s On-Time Review Performance for 2022.
PAL was named fourth most punctual among the least punctual airlines in the Asia Pacific region, next only to All Nippon Airways, Japan Air Lines and Malaysia Air Lines.
So on your next overseas travel, go PAL. Your flight could still be late, but not too late!
