‘Ako Si Ninoy’: New Box Office Strategy

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Don’t judge a book by its cover, but you can judge a movie by its title.

Now it can be told that Vince Tañada’s new film, ‘Ako Si Ninoy’ is a biopic flop. But the controversial director is not conceding like his idol Leni Robredo.

The film has quickly changed promotional strategy with a title change. It is now “Ayoko Si Ninoy” (I don ‘t like Ninoy).

Tañada is hoping that this new strategy could at least fool moviegoers into watching the film and hopefully significantly improve its dismal showing (or is it no shows) in remaining theaters nationwide!

Senator Robin Padilla Wants To Scrap EDSA Anniversaries!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Year after year, attendance at the commemoration of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution has been dwindling, more so this year with another Marcos seated in Malacañang.

Reacting to the dismal show of force at EDSA today, the 37th anniversary of the ousting of President Ferdinand E. Marcos, top-notcher Senator Robin Padilla filed a bill to scrap the EDSA Revolution commemorations altogether.

“It’s a waste of time, resources, of media coverage and social media commentary,” Padilla said.

Well, 37 years is a long time. EDSA 1986 has had its time. Enough!
