Frasco says she is confident that Miss Budol will be very effective in talking about the beauty of the Philippines to foreign audiences and potential tourists.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Just hours after condemning the use of the image of Jesus Christ as a costume, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) issued another statement on the use of “OMG” in texts and social media posts.
CBCP had slammed the viral video of a drag queen dressed as the Black Nazarene while singing along to a remix of “Ama Namin” (The Lord’s Prayer).
Today, CBCP warned Filipinos that using OMG (Oh My God) to express surprise or disappointment is also blasphemous.
“Thou shalt not use the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”
SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Elon Musk may be more tolerant of controversial and offensive posts than Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, but the Twitter owner does not condone violence.
As of today, Twitter has permanently taken down the account of ex-Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon after she insinuated the use of violence in dealing with online bashers and trolls. Her statement was accompanied by a photo of her holding a gun.
“This is definitely against our community guidelines,” Musk said, “and I will not allow any Twitter account holder to use my platform to instigate any form of crime or violence.”
