MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As the “competition” between the two Marcos films, (pro-Aquino) Ako Si Ninoy” and (pro-Marcos) “Martyr or Murderer” heats up, AsN lead actor JK Labajo tried a jab at MoM director Darryl Yap.Labajo plays the role of Ninoy Aquino in the film.
“Hinding-hindi ako pagpapa-direk kay Darryl Yap,” (I will never have myself directed by Darryl Yap) Labajo was quoted as saying on social media.
To which Yap replied, “suntok sa buwan” (punch to the moon).
“Suntok sa buwan” is a Filipino phrase that roughly means “Aiming for the impossible.”
Yap’s comment was a double whammy as Labajo, also a recording artist, is credited for the hit song “Buwan” (moon). Was it also a punch to the hit song?
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – First, it was Elon Musk who announced that Twitter will be charging $8 a month or for those who want the verified blue check mark on their accounts. Then Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook will be doing the same for $11.99.
Now, Maria Ressa’s Rappler — not to be left behind — has just announced it will start charging P500 a month (roughly $10) for its fans, followers and subscribers who want the blue mark on their FB accounts and be identified as authentic and verified.
In a zoom call with The Adobo Chronicles, Ressa said this is one way for Rappler to recover its investments for her online news source which has been declining in trust and popularity.
So what are you waiting for? Support Rappler and fork out your hard-earned P500 per month!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – 2023 estimates show the Philippines’ total population at 113 million. It is expected to reach 120 million in the next four years. Here are the top five reasons, according to population experts:
Companies have shifted most of their operations to “work from home” (WFH) which increases pregnancy by almost 100% among office workers.
The addition of four more U.S. military bases in the country, bringing the total to nine under the Enhanced Defense Cooperative Agreement or EDCA. Experts are, however, at a loss on whether to add Filipino babies fathered by Americans to the Philippine or U.S. population count.
The recent importation by the government of onions to help deal with the artificial short supply and increasing prices. Onions are known to increase testosterone levels.
The increasing popularity of talaba (oysters), also known to be great aphrodisiacs.
The increasing time Filipinos spend on online porn sites.
The Philippines is currently the 7th most populous country in Asia, and is expected to climb up a notch or two by 2027 or 2028.
