LONDON, England (The Adobo Chronicles) –  ‘Harry Potter’ author J.K. Rowling may have publicly expressed disapproval for racy photos of Matthew Lewis in a recent magazine spread, but it sparked inspiration in what could be her next hit series.

The Adobo Chronicles has learned that the famed British author has started to pen her next book series based on the real-life stories of three of the actors who brought ‘Harry Potter characters’ to life in the film versions of her book : Danielle Radcliff, Rupert Grint and Lewis.

There is no sorcery in this new series, just the realities of life transitions from young innocence to worldy and sexy adult life. It is tentatively titled ‘Coming of Age.’

Expect a lot skin if and when Rowling’s new series hits the big screen. In 3-D! It would, of course, star Radcliff, Lewis and Grint.

Sorry kids, it’ll be PG-13.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) –  With his waning popularity exacerbated by recent allegations of unexplained wealth, Vice President Jejomar Binay is turning to the country’s superstar, Miss Nora Aunor, for a much-needed boost to his quest for the presidency.

Binay remains the frontrunner in national polls on who should succeed President NoyNoy Aquino after the latter’s term expires in 2016.  However, in recent weeks, Senator Grace Poe has steadily climbed in the polls, inching closer to Binay. Too close for comfort.

Wanting to capitalize on the popularity of Aunor, Binay promised that if the multi-awarded acrtress endorsed his candidacy for president, he would name Aunor as a national artist during his first year as head of state. (Aquino had previously snubbed Aunor by refusing to name her as national artist despite strong recommendations by the national nominating committee.)

It is too late for Binay: Aunor has just endorsed Senator Poe as her choice for president in the 2016 elections.

Political analysts have said that with Aunor’s endorsement, Poe will likely overcome Binay’s lead in the polls as early as next week.

Some have even suggested that a Poe might consider choosing Aunor as her vice presidential running mate.

PHILIPPINES FILM BEST ACTRESS AWARD PITS NORA AUNOR VS. NORA AUNOR, AND IT’S A TIE!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippines actress Nora Aunor — the same Nora Aunor who was snubbed by President NoyNoy Aquino in last year’s naming of the country’s National Artists – keeps on reaping film awards. She is unstoppable.

This time, Ms. Aunor beat herself in the Best Actress category of the annual Gawad Pasado film awards.  PASADO (Pampelikulang Samahan ng mga Dalubguro) is an organization of private and public school master teachers, elementary through college, reviewing films as documents and materials for teaching different disciplines.

Actually, Ms. Aunor tied with herself in this year’s Best Actress award.  She was nominated for two of her films, Hustisya,  and Dementia.

It is not uncommon for film awards bodies to declare a tie among contenders in acting or film.  However, with Ms. Aunor winning in both her films, PASADO did not have to go through the trouble of ordering a second award trophy. That saved the teachers some money, especially considering that teachers are among the lowest paid professionals in the Philippines.

All’s well that ends well!
