Leave a comment

PARIS, France (The Adobo Chronicles, Paris Bureau)- The big news this week is not about the museum visitor who ate the fresh banana in Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan artwork displayed at a museum in Seoul, South Korea. (The artwork consists of a ripe banana attached to a wall with duct tape). It reportedly costs $160,000.

Rather, our very own publisher at The Adobo Chronicles was invited to display his original artwork at the Louvre museum in Paris, France. Our publisher’s artwork features a Chinese eggplant attached to a canvas with white tape. He was offered $200,000 to display at the museum, plus free roundtrip ticket at hotel accommodation to attend the opening of the exhibit.

Not bad. Congratulations, boss!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ex-Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon criticized Malacañang for holding concerts in the palace grounds, saying that it is a diversionary tactic to let the Filipino people forget that they are hungry.

In effect, the confused lawyer is saying that she would rather let struggling artists from across the country go hungry.

“Artists live in a make-believe world, not the real world,” she said, “and there is absolutely no reason to support their careers nor to promote the arts in a starving country.”

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Artists who could not get contracts with GMA7 and don’t have the resources to book with the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Araneta Coliseum or Mall of Asia are now rejoining at the latest announcement by President Bongbong Marcos.

Beginning this month, Malacañang will host a series of concerts at the presidential palace. Artists from all over the country — those with the calibre not associated with Vice Ganda and company — be invited to perform in “Konsyerto Sa Palasyo.” The first is in the series will be held on April 22.

Malacañang also announced that the concerts will give ordinary Filipinos the chance to visit inside the palace and even chance upon one of the three Marcos children.

What’s more, concert guests will be treated to free ensaymada courtesy of Mary Grace Bake Shop.

(Ensaymada is a type of Filipino soft, sweet dough pastry covered with butter and sugar then topped with lots of grated cheese.)

The first 1,000 netizens to like this post and comment with “Konsyerto” will be given free concert tickets. So what are you waiting for?
