QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles,Quezon City Bureau) -Who would ever forget that moment in one of Vice Ganda’s live concerts where she poked fun at Kapuso host Jessica Soho because of her weight? Soho cannot be blamed for allegedly refusing to have Vice as guest on her show.
But anything can happen between 9am and 5pm. Soho changed her mind.
She now says she would be more than happy to have Vice on her show. On one condition.
Soho said that before they start the interview, the both of them will step on an electronic scale to record and document their respective weights. Soho will be dressed in a black lingerie while Vice will strip down to his white briefs.
What a way for Soho to extend the olive branch. She will have the last laugh.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco, commenting on the promo video fiasco, has said that not a single peso has been paid to DBB and that the contract with the ad agency has been cancelled. Yet, the Department of Tourism continues to use the controversial slogan.
Well, it’s payback time.
Unconfirmed reports reaching The Adobo Chronicles have revealed that DBB is suing DOT for estafa. A DBB spokesperson said that ownership of the slogan remains the the ad agency, precisely because it has not been paid for its work. “This is pure and simple theft of intellectual property,” he said.
Today, DBB will file estafa charges against DOT at an undisclosed local Regional Trial Court. The agency is also seeking a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to stop DOT from using the botched campaign slogan.
BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio City) – The Department of Tourism (DOT) is boasting of its launch of the hop-on, hop-off bus tours (HOHO) for tourists in Makati and Manila, saying it’s the first of its kind in the Philippines.
But that is farthest from the truth.
Baguio City has launched the HOHO bus tours since 2022 as a response by the local government to traffic woes exacerbated by tourists driving their private vehicles when visiting the Summer Capital of the Philippines.
Our verdict: DOT’s PR stunt on HOHO is misleading!
