December 26, 2016 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – “Die Beautiful” is one of the film entries in the ongoing Metro Manila Film Festival. It is drawing both crowds and acclaim for the portrayal of a transgender Filipino pursuing her dream of becoming a national beauty queen.

Amid the joys and tribulations of the gay pageant world, the film introduces dark secrets, one bit at a time, until you stop laughing and start crying with its main character, Trisha Echevaria.

But if there is one secret that the film reveals — as no other film has — it is how to make fake boobs.

Ever wonder how male bodies create the illusion of cleavage?

Go watch the film.

Clue: you would need a lot of plastic tape.

The Adobo Chronicles gives this film 5 stars!

Filipinos Still Waiting For Steve Harvey To Announce Correct Winner Of Miss World 2016

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau)- As news reached Filipinos that their representative to the Miss World Pageant which just concluded in Washington, D.C. made it to the Top 5 finalists, there was jubilation and hope.

Then disappointment.

Miss Philippines Catriona Gray failed to win the Miss World crown which would have been the second such title for the country. It would have put the Philippines on the Guiness World Record for being the only country simultaneously holding the crowns for the three top international beauty pageants. Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is the reigning Miss Universe, and Kylie Verzosa is the newly-crowned Miss International.

But hours after it was announced that Miss Puerto Rico won the 2016 Miss World crown, millions of Filipinos are still waiting for Stevie Harvey to come on live television to announce that there was a mistake in the results of the pageant. They are hoping that Harvey would make the correction and say that Miss Philippines won the crown.

Oh, that Miss Universe moment all over again?

One Million March Planned To Protest Miss Universe Pageant In Manila

December 14, 2016 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Sometime in October, a group of 260 Filipinos and Filipino Americans signed a letter addressed to the Miss Universe Organization asking that the 2016 pageant be pulled from the Philippines. The petitioners included familiar names like Filipino American millionaire Loida Nicolas-Lewis, retired entertainer Leah Navarro, and former beauty queens Aurora Pijuan and Gemma Cruz-Araneta.

The petitioners argued that the newly-elected leaders of the country, led by no less that President Rodrigo Duterte and his cohorts have demonstrated “objectionable, scandalous, and demeaning sexist attitude towards womankind.”

We all know of course that the letter-petition was a total failure. The 65th edition of the pageant will, indeed, be held in the Philippines and some contestants have already arrived in the country.

But the petitioners are not conceding defeat. They are planning a one million people power march on January 30 to protest the staging of the pageant in the Philippines. It will be held at Luneta Park, not far from the venue of the pageant finals at the Mall of Asia.

When asked by The Adobo Chronicles how many people have signed up so far to join the one million march, a spokesperson for the group said: “260.”
