MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It must have been a slow news day at Rappler. Either that or its CEO Maria Ressa was just having a bad hair day.
In a tweet, Rappler asked netizens to submit some bad poems in celebration of Bad Poetry Day. What they got were some brilliant responses — not just from ordinary netizens but famous personalities, including Vice President Leni Robredo, former PNoy spokesperson Edwin Laciera, and popular blogger Mark Lopez.
Here are some of the responses received by Rappler:

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – Mover over, Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Egypt. The Philippines just earned a spot — no, two spots — in the new list of ‘Wonders of the World.’
Bohol province just made it to the list with its Chocolate Hills.
And Baguio City is now recognized for its Chocolate Lake at Burnham Park.
Congratulations to Bohol, and especially to Baguio!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In one brief, dramatic tweet, performance artist cum tour guide Carlos Celdran proposed an end to all Filipino Teleserye as a means to solving the country’s problems.
In his tweet, Celdran said that the country does not have problems, just drama:
Asked by The Adobo Chronicles what his concrete proposal would be to solve problems, he confidently said that all Filipino teleserye, including ABS-CBN’s ‘Ang Probinsiyano’ and GMA’s ‘Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka’ should immediately go off the air.
Celdran also said that Philippine TV networks should stop showing Tagalog-translated Korean drama.
