Nike, Puma Clash Over Gilas Pilipinas Endorsements!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Two of the world’s leading athletic shoe manufacturers are clashing over endorsements by Gilas Philippines, the basketball team in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

On one hand, Gilas Philippines Coach Chot Reyes has proudly displayed the Nike logo on the shirts he wears in the FIBA games.

But a recent announcement by PUMA that Gilas star player Kai Sotto is its new celebrity endorser has upset Nike.

Nike has threatened to pull all of its endorsements and financial support for Gilas unless the PUMA contract with Sotto is withdrawn and cancelled.

Moral of the story: You can only row your boat in one river or ocean. (“Namamangka sa dalawang dagat”).

X (Formerly Twitter) Takes Down Vice Ganda’s Account!

Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – It seemed like a cryptic message, but Philippine actress and TV host Vice Ganda was apparently (or so we think) posting a message on her X (former Twitter) account about being the newest endorser of the online shopping portal, Shopee.

Many Shopee shoppers had boycotted the portal after it designated Marcos-supporter Toni Gonzaga as a celebrity endorser. They (meaning, the Dilawan) uninstalled their Shopee apps.

In her X post, Vice Ganda asked netizens if they had already re-installed (their Shopee apps).

But alas, Vice Ganda’s photo which accompanied her X (tweet?) violated the social media portal’s community guidelines against nudity (see photo).

The national daily PhilStar’s X account is also in line for cancellation after it re-published Vice Ganda’s post and photo.
