MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – While the entire Philippine nation was commemorating the 125th Independence Day, the mainstream news media were thinking of breakfast, and perhaps a cup of real strong Barako coffee.
Inquirer, ABS-CBN News and GMA News were all reporting on the Independence Day message of President Bongbong Marcos in which he said, “The heroes of our liberation would be proud to know that we have thrown off the ominous yoke of domination.”
In unison, the news outlets quoted Marcos as having said “yolk.”
The Adobo Chronicles could not independently confirm whether or not the news outlets preferred (egg) yolk from free-range chicken.
“Yoke” is a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plow or cart that they are to pull.
