MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Broadcast veteran and now social media influencer Jay Sonza posted some news about Senator Manny Pacquiao losing a court case in the United States. Apparently, Pacquiao is being asked to pay $5.1M in damages.
But the automatic translation of the Tagalog post tells a different story. Pacquio is being paid $5.1M!
Another case of “lost in translation.” From loser to winner!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As Officer-in-Charge of the Philippine government while President Bongbong Marcos is in the U.S. for his 5-day state visit, Vice President Sara Duterte has the power to issue executive orders, which she did.
Executive Order VP-1 was issued today by Duterte banning AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the Philippines.
The EO had a lot to do with her being the Secretary of Education.
AI and ChatGPT enable students and others to come up with computer-generated reports, homework, theses for submission to their teachers and professors.
Duterte is not happy about this. She says it deprives students of the opportunity to think for themselves and develop their skills. She says it also creates the atmosphere for plagiarism and non fact-based academic papers.
The EO takes effect immediately.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Divisoria is a commercial district in Manila which Filipinos consider a haven for the utmost bargains — from food to clothing to housewares, plants and decors.
Well, even America’s famous personalities like Elon Musk, Leonardo Di Carpio and Tom Cruise are joining in the bandwagon.
Despite their intentions to be incognito, they couldn’t escape the discerning eyes of Pinoys. So photos of them ordering street food have flooded social media.
The Department of Tourism couldn’t be more happy that these personalities are helping promote the Philippines to the international world – at zero expense to the government.
How cool is that?
