“It’s Showtime” Renamed!

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Real-life partners Vice Ganda and Ion Perez were criticized after the “It’s Showtime” episode showing the two TV hosts finger-licking some cake icing — in front of children — went viral.

Motivational speaker Rendon Labador was among those who condemned Ganda and Perez, saying that these kinds of people should never be tolerated.

Meanwhile GMA 7 which airs the ABS-CBN noon-time show is considering renaming it to “It’s
Subotime!” (the Pilipino word ‘subo’ meaning to put into one’s mouth).

The name change could up the ante among the three competing noon-time shows, “EAT BULAGA,” “E.A.T.” and “It’s Showtime” since they would now all be about eating!

X Logo Atop San Francisco Headquarters Was Unverified!

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – While (the former) Twitter continues to offer the verified check mark to its account holders, it has yet to obtain a check mark from the City and County of San Francisco.

San Francisco authorities have issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to X, for putting up its new logo atop its headquarters on Market Street.

Existing codes require businesses to secure a permit before making any changes to existing buildings, including facades and signage.

Efforts by city building code enforcers to inspect the new construction failed twice because they were denied access to the building.

X may have violated SF’s community standards!

GMA 7 Responds To Tito Sotto: Renames ‘Eat Bulaga’

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – In response to Paolo Contis’ statement expressing hurt feelings about their noontime show being tagged “Fake Bulaga,” Senator Tito Sotto suggested that GMA 7 should change the show’s name.

And GMA responded.

Effective August 1, 2023, “Eat Bulaga” will be renamed “The Former TVJ Show!” (TVJ meaning Tito, Vic and Joey , the original hosts of “Eat Bulaga”).

All’s well that ends well!
