NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Either Hollywood actors Kal Penn and Dave Patel are twin brothers separated at birth, or they are one and the same person.

The Wall Street Journal’s Pulitzer Prize winning film reviewer, Joe Morgenstern recently wrote a piece on the movie ‘Lion,’ which stars Patel (Slumdog Millionnare), Nicole Kidman and Rooney Mara.

In his review, Morgenstern called Patel’s performance his best since ‘The Namesake.’ 

The problem is, Patel wasn’t it that movie. It was Penn (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle) who was.

All Asians look alike. You better believe it, coming from a Pulitzer Prize winner.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – With the approval of the south line of the North-South Railway project, Vice President Ma. Leonor “Leni” Robredo is looking at mass housing for informal settler families (ISFs) living along railroad tracks.

Robredo, also chair of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), revealed a housing plan for ISFs as the railway project is expected to displace them from their homes.

But instead of relocating the families away from the railroad tracks, her idea is to keep them where they are and develop housing projects right next to the tracks.

She wanted the housing units along the tracks to look like the famous Victorian houses in San Francisco. (See photo).

The vice president has finally gone to work since she was appointed by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to his cabinet.

MANILA, Philippines – While Filipinos focused their attention on the anti-Marcos burial rally held Friday at the Luneta Park, another group of protesters did their own thing at the University of the Philippines (U.P.) in Diliman, Quezon City.

Members of the Alpha Phi Omega (APO) fraternity at U.P. ran naked through a student crowd with only their faces covered to protest against the hero’s burial for the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

The Great Oblation Run, also known as “Ritual Dance of the Brave,” is a long-held tradition in the state university that began in 1977. It is held as a way for fraternity members to make known their stand on important national issues.

In addition to protesting the Marcos Burial at Libingan Ng Mga Bayani, they also asked the Duterte administration to stop extrajudicial killings and to end contractual labor.

But instead of rallying the crowd to support their demands, the protestors were criticized for displaying their small penises, as can be seen in a social media post by one very disappointed observer (see photo.)
