Letter Of The Month To The Adobo Chronicles

December 28, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

images Every now and then, The Adobo Chronicles publishes letters that we receive from our readers. This one is from Eden Claribel who lives in Baguio City, Philippines, the hometown of our editor and publisher. Our response follows the letter.

Dear Editor:

My friends always make fun of me every time they see that I’m reading your articles. They always ask me why I read them, and my answer is always “I don’t know, I just can’t help it.”

But seriously, I am a proud fan of The Adobo Chronicles. My friends say that your articles are for dumbs. I didn’t bother to defend AdoboChron because I know that they can never understand me. They don’t appreciate satire so it’s useless to explain. Personally, I think that satirical sites are for smart people, and satirical news writers are the wittiest writers.

I admire you guys. I love how you write. I actually wish I could write like you. Keep writing “garbage” articles (as what other people call them). I don’t mind being a garbage collector!

yours truly,

Eden Claribel

Dear Eden:

Thank you for being a big fan of The Adobo Chronicles.

In case you’re wondering why you are so hooked to our stories, we put a microchip in each of our articles so that once you click on and start reading them, you’ll keep wanting to come back for more.

We are very encouraged by your letter and we promise to bring you (and hopefully, your friends) more garbage in 2016 and the years to come.

(By the way, there is no shame in being a garbage collector!)

Sincerely,

The Editor

Shocker: Caitlyn Jenner Announces She Is Expecting A Child

December 28, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – As if the former Bruce Jenner hadn’t already shocked the world by announcing that he was transitioning to a woman, a second announcement by the now Caitlyn is sending chills and squeals across the globe.

Americans woke up this morning in disbelief at the announcement that the 66-year-old Jenner is expecting a baby — not just because of her age but also of her unfinished transition (Jenner has not undergone gender reassignment surgery).

But our sources have confirmed that Jenner definitely told her close friends and family over the Christmas weekend that she expects to adopt a child. “Being a mom is a long-time dream of mine,” she said.

Presidential Palace: None Of President Aquino’s Statements Should Be Taken Literally

Abaya, left, and Aquino; long lines at MRT

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Time is running out for Philippine President NoyNoy Aquino and his Transportation Secretary Joseph Abaya. The Filipinos are eagerly awaiting the day — on January 1, 2016 — when both men will have themselves run over by a train. It was a promise made by Aquino in 2013 if, by the end of 2015, the serious problems plaguing Metro Manila’s mass transportation, particularly the MRT (light railway) are not resolved.

In a desperate attempt for damage control, Aquino’s communications secretary Herminio Coloma came to the rescue today saying that none of the president’s statements should be taken literally.

“He was merely joking,” Coloma said, “just like when he makes statements and claims about the accomplishments of his administration.”

“When the president says something like ‘the Philippines is the New Darling of Asia,’ or ‘the Philippines will soon become a First World Country,’ we should not take him seriously.”

The statement from the presidential palace comes as a disappointment to many who were gearing up for a great, televised spectacle come January 1st.
