MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In a complete turnaround that shocked both sides of the political spectrum, ex-Vice President Leni Robredo attended the sendoff for President Bongbong Marcos as he left for a state visit to Japan.
Robredo was all smiles as Marcos acknowledged her presence.
This was the first in-person meeting between Marcos and Robredo since the May presidential elections where the former won the contest by a landslide.
All’s well that ends well!
P.S. An Adobo Chronicles loyal follower just called us to point out that the lady in the photo was not Robredo but former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. We regret the error.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles,Manila Bureau) – It’s a fierce battle among three controversial film directors when three movies about Ninoy Aquino and Ferdinand E. Marcos open soon in theaters nationwide in the Philippines.
Actually, it’s a two-way race among the three.
The first race is between Vince Tañada and Joel Lamangan for their films, “Ako Si Ninoy” and “Oras de Peligro,” respectively. They battle for the title of most superficial film of 2023. It is expected to be a very close race. AsN chronicles the life of the late Ninoy Aquino while OdP tells the story of a family three days before Marcos was ousted through a peaceful People Power Revolution.
The other race is that of Darryl Yap against himself. It is a battle between his two films, the hit “Maid in Malacañang” and his latest, “Martyr or Murderer.” It is a race for the box office. Will MoM surpass the box office receipts of MiM? Stay tuned.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It is a known fact that Atty. Vince Tañada’s films are not doing well at the box office, especially compared to Daryl Yap’s “Maid in Malacañang.” So it is no surprise that he has taken on a second job like many enterprising Pinoys.
Tañada is now a celebrity endorser for Promil and Nido milk, although it is unknown how much he is paid for this new gig.
Along the way, Tañada has taken jabs at another celebrity endorser, the more successful and extremely popular Toni Gonzaga who has endorsed a rival milk product, Lactum.
Bottomline is, it is really up to parents and pediatricians to choose or recommend what’s best for the kids. So this may be the only and last paid commercial endorsement for Tañada.
