Tim Cook presents a preview of the new iPad Pro which will come with a free carrying case

CUPERTINO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The stage is set for Apple’s big announcement of its new products. September 9 is the date when CEO Tim Cook unveils the new smart phones and tablets which would definitely seal his company’s status as the leader in computer technology.

While much of the speculation revolves around the new iPhone 6S, Apple says that the star of this year’s unveiling will be its new iPad Pro.

Expected to measure in at 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro will be Apple’s largest tablet, dwarfing both the 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 and the 7.9-inch iPad mini 3. At 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro would be closest in size to the 13-inch MacBook Air.

The Adobo Chronicles® learned from an inside source that the iPad Pro will come with a free carrying case and strap, similar to the ones carried around by cigarette girls that roam bars and casinos (see inset photo).

Cook said that Apple does realize that the larger iPad Pro may be difficult to carry so it is being proactive by including a complimentary carrying case and strap for its new product.

The carrying case comes in three colors — black, red and green.

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has again hit below the belt, confirming his dislike for Kenyans, including the one living in The White House.

This time, he has attacked Kenyan athletets who won the IAAF World Championships in Beijing, saying they are “cheap frauds, masquerades and conmen/women.”

Trump made the disparaging comments in Iowa where he met veterans and promised their well being when he becomes President.

According to MSNBC, Trump’s remarks did not augur well with a handful of people and they jeered him all the way. According to Trump, Kenyans including Obama are conmen who dope and cheat on their way to the top.

He reiterated categorically that it is the US that won and not Kenya. Trump congratulated the US athletes for winning the IAAF World Championships in Beijing although they were not officially pronounced winners.

Following Trump’s comments, a Kenyan-American has started manufacturing tissue paper in the U.S. bearing Trump’s ugly image. Businessman Gideon Munguti vowed to teach Trump a lifetime lesson. .

According to 26 year old Munguti, “Trump deserves to wipe all shit and escort it to destination.”

The new household item has been selling like hotcakes and as of 5 p.m, Sunday, the limited edition toilet tissue has been on backorder at Costco, Walmart, K-mart, Safeway and Whole Foods.

Even eBay is reporting that the toilet tissue, despite being sold at exhorbitant prices, is also sold-out.

Will Trump learn not to mess with Kenyans?

Recently Kenyans from all walks of life created a twitter hashtag dubbed #someonetellTrump, to warn him to stay away from the mighty people of Kenya.

PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES ASKED TO MAKE COUNTRY’S RICHEST MAN EVEN RICHER

SM Mega Mall in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – This month, the Philippines’ Civil Service Commission (CSC) celebrates its 115th anniversary by asking the close to 1.5 Million Filipino government employees to give money to the country’s richest man, Henry Sy.

Let us explain.

From September 25 to 27, 2015, government workers can avail themselves of 10% discount at all SM Department Stores nationwide, valid on regular-priced items for a minimum purchase of PHP500. SM Appliance Centers will offer 5% discount nationwide, as well as financing promos for select branches in Metro Manila and nearby Luzon. Shoppers at SM Supermarket and SM Hypermarket will get a free item with a minimum purchase of PHP500.

To be eligible for the said promos, civil servants should present their official government office ID or Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) ID card, including an SM Advantage Card, SM Prestige Card, MOM Card, or BDO Rewards Card, according to CSC Announcement No. 53, s.2015.

The common denominator of the promo? Henry Sy, owner of SM.

What all this mean is that government employees must spend, spend, spend, even if they weren’t planning to, and spend their hard-earned money at SM, so that Sy can build more shopping malls.

How about just giving all government employees a food basket consisting of a bag of rice, assorted canned goods and other kitchen essentials? Or give them a voucher towards free rides on buses or the light railway (MRT).

What happened to ‘Matuwid na daan?’ (straight path). Or ‘Matuwid na pag-iisip.” (common sense thinking).
