New Internet Domain Names Exclusive To The Philippines

IMG_9591SILICON VALLEY, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – There is no shame in showing your true colors, and that’s specifically true for the Philippines where netizens proudly proclaim their political leanings, be it pro-Duterte, pro-Liberal Party, pro-Yellow and pro-whatever. In fact, this has resulted in the escalating cyber war between and among die-hards.

So to enhance this unique Philippine phenomenon, the International Association of Domain Name Registrars (IADNR) has approved new Internet domain names for exclusive use within the Philippines.  The approval came at an Internet Summit Meeting held today at the San Jose Convention Center.

In addition to existing domain name extensions like dot com, dot net, dot PH, dot UK, dot photo, IADNR has released the following new extensions for immediate use:

dot DU30

dot D5

dot 3llanes

dot Laylayan

Can you guess which followers of political personalities will be using each of these new domain extensions?

L-R: Nicolas-Lewis, Paredes, Sison, Poe, Laguatan

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s final: Perfecto Yasay is now ex-Foreign Secretary.  This, after the Commission on Appointments unanimously rejected his nomination to the powerful post after he lied about his U.S. citizenship.

Now, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte must pick Yasay’s replacement.

Sources close to The Adobo Chronicles indicated that Duterte has narrowed his choices to a short list of 5 people, namely:

  1. Entertainer/Musician Jim Parades (Australia)
  2. Millionaire Loida Nicolas-Lewis (U.S.)
  3. Communist Party of the Philippines Founder Jose Ma Sison (Netherlands)
  4. Immigration Attorney Ted Laguatan (U.S.)
  5. Senator Grace Poe (Philippines)

Can you guess what all five alleged nominees have in common?

Is it going to be smooth-sailing this time around at the Commission on Appointments?
