Ninoy Aquino Day: Reenactment Of Assassination Cancelled!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It would have been a very impactful commemoration on Monday, August 21 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

To mark the anniversary of the “martyrdom” of the late senator, the Dilawan National Coalition (DNC) had planned on a reenactment of the assassination at the airport tarmac.

Everything was set since a week ago, but the reenactment had to be cancelled at the last minute.

DNC could not find a volunteer to play the role Ninoy.

Perhaps they did not make it clear that rubber bullets will be used?

Imee Marcos To Quit Senate To Become A Full-time Movie Actress!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Acting has always been a passion for Imee Marcos. Her political career was almost second fiddle to her desire to be on the big screen.

But she’s had it with politics. She’s quitting and is joining film director Darryl Yap’s cinematic group to become its prime actress.

For starters, Marcos will play herself in the upcoming 3rd installment of Yap’s Marcos/Martial Law films, titled “Mabuhay, Aloha, Mabuhay” which opens on September 21, the anniversary of the proclamation of the the Marcos Martial Law.

Politics’ loss is Cinema’s gain. We need good actors on screen, not in politics.
