New York, NY (The Adobo Chronicles) – In March of this year, The Adobo Chronicles broke the story about the announcement by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) officially classifying taking selfies as a mental disorder, called ‘Selfitis.’ Since then, there has been much debate in the media about this growing phenomenon on the Internet.

This fall, a new television series will debut on the ABC Network largely based on the story that went viral. Titled ‘Selfies,’ the new show stars Karen Gillan (‘Dr. Who’) and John Cho (‘Star Trek,’ ‘Harold & Kumar go To White Castle’). It will airTuesdays at 8pm.

During pre-production, the reporters of The Adobo Chronicles were asked to lead the show’s writing team, but the reporters declined. “We don’t do television,” they said.

Initially, the series was titled ‘Selfitis’ but ABC Network could not get permission from the APA to use the patented name.

Here’s the new show’s trailer.

June 24, 2014 Pol Pinoy 12 Comments

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The exclusion of award-winning actress Nora Aunor from this year’s list of National Artists has created an uproar among many Filipinos here and abroad. All blame points to President NoyNoy Aquino.

Here are the top ten reasons Aquino snubbed La Aunor:

Nora Aunor has an uncanny resemblance to ex-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
President Aquino is reserving a spot for his sister, Kris Aquino
President Aquino received thousands of emails from Vilmanians opposing Aunor’s nomination
President Aquino believes that Aunor is a Marcos Loyalist
Aunor has won more awards and recognition than Aquino
Aunor’s past drug problem might bring attention to Aquino’s own addiction
President Aquino thinks that in order to be a National Artist, one must be able to paint
In making his final choices for National Artist, Aquino played ‘jack n poy’ with Vice President Jejomar Binay
President Aquino wanted a nominee from his home province of Tarlac. Aunor is Bicolana
Aquino wants to live up to his reputation of being clueless.

Bonus reason:

11. “Aunor” sounds too close to Aquino’s nickname, “Abnoy”
