One Million Pesos Await This “Best-Dressed” Man At FIBA World Cup!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Basketball in the Philippines is not all about the home team winning a game, FIBA World Cup or not. It is also about the fans.

This man was caught on camera in full regalia wearing a barong Tagalog and giant buri hat during one of the Gilas Pilipinas games at the Araneta Coliseum.

Gilas Pilipinas patron Manny V. Pangilinan was so impressed with the man’s dedication and loyalty to the team that he is offering P1M (that’s one million pesos) if he comes forward to show proof of his identity.

“We may have failed at a World Cup title, but we have shown the entire world that the Philippines stands by its team — coaching problems notwithstanding,” Pangilinan said.

Pangilinan is asking the public’s help to identify and contact this man so he could personally hand the P1M gift check to this loyal soul!

Vice Ganda’s “Everybody Sing” Named Best Copycat Show By ContentAsia!

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – “Everybody Sing,” TV show hosted by Vice Ganda won the “Best Original Show” at the ContentAsia Awards 2023 held recently in Bangkok, Thailand. The show is produced by ABS-CBN.

Except that the show is not really an original. The content and format were copied from an American TV show called “Don’t Forget The Lyrics.”

Upon learning of the award, the producers of the American show protested and threatened to sue ABS-CBN for copyright infringement and theft of intellectual property.

The complaint forced the owners of the ContentAsia Awards to rename Vice Ganda’s award to “Best Copycat Show.”

All’s well that ends well!
