MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipinos love freebies and special offers, and McDonald’s knows it well.

On August 25, the burger chain offered a special deal to all who could show a valid I.D. with their first, middle or last names having the letters “ER,” like EstER, VERgara, SolER. This entitled them to a P25-only discounted quartER poundER with cheese.

As expected, throngs of Filipinos flocked to McDonald’ outlets to claim their special deal.

Some outlets ran out of their quarter-pounders, others were overwhelmed by a stampede of burger lovers.

As a result of the stampede, dozens sustained injuries and were brought to nearby hospital ERs — Emergency Rooms.

No official statement yet from rival Jollibee.

ATLANTA, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles, Atlanta Bureau) – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has surrendered to authorities in the state of Georgia, where he faces criminal charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential elections.

The entire booking process took just about 20 minutes at the Fulton County jail, where he was processed and released on bond. Jail records showed him at 6 foot 3 inches tall and weighing 215 pounds, with blue eyes and blond or strawberry hair. His booking number was P01135809.

A mug shot of Trump was released soon after he left the jail.

With this surrender, Tump made it to the Guinness World Records on three counts:

As the first U.S. president whose mug shot was taken
Posing in a well-ironed suit for his mug shot, and
As the first U.S. president to have lost 30 pounds after leaving The White House.
