MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau ) – Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” received 316K streams on Spotify yesterday, a 75% increase compared to the same day in 2022. The spike was attributed to Filipinos who started celebrating their Christmas season last September 1.
Local artist Jose Mari Chan has traditionally ruled the airwaves as well as public address systems at malls and other establishments at the onset of the Philippine Christmas season with his Christmas carols, especially that song that starts with “Whenever I see girls and boys…”
But alas, the Christmas King has been replaced by the new Christmas Queen.
LAS PIÑAS, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Piñas Bureau) – One of the latest and most ambitious real estate projects of the Villar Group of Companies, is the 1,500-hectare Villar City, an Italian-inspired community for the affluent, located at 1750 Daang Hari Road, Almanza Dos, Las Pinas City. It is being touted as Metro Manila’s “Center of Gravity.” That’s earthshaking!
But rumors have it that that developers may have uncovered a major earthquake fault line underneath the development project. The discovery led the Villar family to jack up the prices of housing and building units, saying all structures will have to be fitted with rollers and reinforced pillars and beams to protect its occupants in the event of a high-intensity earthquake.
