Pares Olympics In Quezon City On July 26!

Leave a comment

In a surprising twist, controversial personalities Diwata, Rosmar, and Rendon Labador have announced they will sponsor a national event in Quezon City on July 26, 2024, coinciding with the opening of the Paris Olympics.

This move comes after Rosmar and Labador were declared persona non grata in Coron, Palawan, following an incident involving a staff member of the mayor.

Dubbed the “Pares Olympics,” the event will take place at the Elliptical Circle and feature a national competition among carinderia owners to create the best pares recipe.

Contestants will vie for top honors in two categories: beef and pork pares.

Diwata, a close friend of Rosmar, who famously gifted him a house and lot, will lead the panel of esteemed judges.

So, pares enthusiasts, mark your calendars, and prepare your best recipes—this is one culinary showdown you won’t want to miss!

Vice Ganda Is No American Idol

Leave a comment

In a move sure to redefine global entertainment standards, ABS-CBN has announced the export of its wildly original TV show, “Everybody Sing,” hosted by the inimitable Vice Ganda.

This groundbreaking program, which bravely mimics the American hit “Don’t Forget the Lyrics!”, invites contestants to display their lyrical prowess for a chance to win… well, something far less than $1 million.

While America and Britain export cultural behemoths like “American Idol” and “Britain’s Got Talent,” the Philippines graciously offers its homespun tribute act. Surely, global audiences will be spellbound by this karaoke-like contest.

But let’s be honest—perhaps the country would be better off shipping out its exquisite capiz shell crafts or mouthwatering canned adobo instead. These unique cultural exports are far more likely to capture the world’s imagination and showcase the true richness of Filipino heritage, rather than a karaoke night in TV form.

It’s None Of Our Business, But It Is!

Ah, the Philippines, where the news is as flavorful as its adobo.

In a plot twist worthy of a telenovela, documents seized from a POGO hub in Porac, Pampanga, allegedly show former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque financing a European jaunt for Mr. Supranational Philippines 2016 as a “companion.” The scandalous revelation of this high-flying bromance has some clutching their pearls and others waving it off with a nonchalant “He wasn’t in office in 2023, so who cares?”

Yet, the plot thickens with another document appointing this handsome globetrotter as Roque’s Executive Assistant in 2021. Suddenly, taxpayer wallets feel a little lighter, and eyebrows arch in unison across the archipelago. While some argue for privacy, others demand to know if their hard-earned pesos were spent appropriately and in accordance with law.

After all, it’s not just about this trip; it’s about some party favors that preceded it, and maybe, other trips while Roque was in government.
