QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Move over, Vice Ganda and Ion Perez. The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has a new toy, we mean a new summons, this time directed at “It’s Showtime”co-host Kim Chiu.

The new summons signed no less that Senator Tito Sotto’s daughter, Lala (MTRCB Chair), came following an episode on the noon-time show where Chiu promoted the popular sex toy, the vibrator.

Here’s a clip of the controversial episode:

Imee Marcos To Quit Senate To Become A Full-time Movie Actress!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Acting has always been a passion for Imee Marcos. Her political career was almost second fiddle to her desire to be on the big screen.

But she’s had it with politics. She’s quitting and is joining film director Darryl Yap’s cinematic group to become its prime actress.

For starters, Marcos will play herself in the upcoming 3rd installment of Yap’s Marcos/Martial Law films, titled “Mabuhay, Aloha, Mabuhay” which opens on September 21, the anniversary of the proclamation of the the Marcos Martial Law.

Politics’ loss is Cinema’s gain. We need good actors on screen, not in politics.

Thousands Of Dilawans Rally For Justice For Ninoy Aquino!

EDSA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, EDSA Bureau) – EDSA once more became the center of opposition when thousands of Dilawan (Yellows) — those who support the Aquinos — rallied to demand justice for their slain hero, Ninoy Aquino.

But this protest was no like any other. The Dilawans were protesting against the Aquinos and their allies.

The mass gathering deplored the fact that justice has not been achieved in the assassination of Ninoy. “Nothing was done by three past administrations to finally resolve the late senator’s martyrdom,” the rallyists told The Adobo Chronicles.

“They had three administrations — of 18 years total — to resolve the crime, citing 6 years of Cory Aquino, 6 years of Fidel Ramos (who lead in the People Power uprising), and Noynoy Aquino,” they added.

The protest came just two days before the anniversary of the assassination of Ninoy Aquino (August 21) which has been declared a working holiday in the Philippines.
